ObjectiveTo explore the teaching effects of a novel online teaching mode based on mind mapping in the clinical medicine undergraduates.

MethodsA total of 147 students from 2 classes of clinical medicine major who received clinical medicine course theory teaching were selected as the research objects.Among them, 91 students from clinical medicine class and 56 students from clinical medicine experimental class were divided into the traditional teaching class and experimental teaching class, respectively.After the implementation of teaching, questionnaire surveys were conducted, which included the cognitive feelings of current teaching mode, acceptance of new teaching methods and concepts and evaluation of the effects of teaching mode.

ResultsCompared with the traditional teaching class, the satisfaction of current teaching mode was lower(P < 0.05), the interactive teaching method combined with explanation was more(P < 0.05), and the awareness rates of "learning pyramid" and learning group or learning community were higher in the experimental teaching class(P < 0.01).The awareness of the new tools to improve learning efficiency in two classes were relatively high, and the expectations for the mastery of professional knowledge, clinical skill improvement, cooperation awareness training and logical thinking enhancement in teaching effects in two classes were high, but the differences of which between two classes were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The classroom thinking enthusiasm, concentration and mastery in experimental class were better than those in traditional class(P < 0.05), the proportion of teaching helpful to clinical practice in experimental teaching teaching class was significantly higher than that in traditional teaching teaching class(P < 0.01), and the proportion of intention to try to construct knowledge system with mind mapping in experimental teaching class was higher than that in traditional teaching class(P < 0.05).

ConclusionsThe new online teaching mode based on mind mapping is helpful to improve the students' enthusiasm in class and teaching effects, which is worthy of further improvement and promotion.
