Practice and exploration of computer-based case simulations in pediatric clerkship teaching for eight-year clinical medicine program students
To explore the application effects of computer-based case simulations (CCS) in pediatric clerkship teaching for eight-year clinical medicine program students and to evaluate its value and limitations in cultivating clinical competencies.
Methods
2
A total of 52 eight-year program medical students undergoing pediatric clerkship at Peking University First Hospital
China from October to December 2024 were selected and divided into an experimental group (
n
=25) and a control group (
n
=27) according to their student ID number sequence. The experimental group received traditional teaching combined with CCS
while the control group received t
raditional teaching only. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations were conducted through course assessments
questionnaire surveys
and qualitative interviews. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 29.0 software
including the chi-square test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
Results
2
There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in theoretical assessment scores [90.25 (85.18
94.15) vs. 88.00 (86.00
89.70)
]
or case analysis scores [13.7 (13.2
14.2) vs. 13.8 (13.0
14.1)
]
(

0.05). The questionnaire survey showed that 95.24% (20/21) of the students believed CCS was helpful for cultivating clinical thinking ability. In terms of teaching session preferences
52.38% (11/21) of students preferred CCS for auxiliary examination selection
whereas the majority preferred traditional teaching for history taking (16/21
76.19%) and physical examination (13/21
61.91%). Interview results indicated that CCS was perceived as innovative
capable of simulating real clinical scenarios and enhancing clinical thinking ability
serving as a standardized supplement to typical cases. However
limitations were identified
including a lack of focus in history taking sessions
an operation mode that may constrain thinking space
and an inability to fully replace real clinical experience
which imposes higher demands on teachers' proficiency in using the tool.
Conclusions
2
As an effective auxiliary tool in pediatric clerkship teaching
CCS demonstrates clear value in fostering clinical thinking ability and stimulating learning interest. However
it exhibits limitations in interpersonal interaction and practical skill training and did not significantly improve students' assessment performance. CCS should be integrated with traditional clinical practice and continually optimized to achieve complementary advantages.
