Preliminary application of formative evaluation in pediatric ultrasound clinical teaching

Abstract

Objective: To explore the eff ectiveness of formative evaluation in pediatric ultrasound clinical teaching. Methods: A total of
30 medical undergraduates who were enrolled in the ultrasound clinical practice in the Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University
in 2023 were selected as the research objects and randomly divided into study group and control group, with 15 students in each group. T he
teaching evaluation method used by the study group was formative evaluation, while the control group was terminal evaluation. A fter the
teaching, the fi nal assessment results (theoretical results and technical results) of the two groups of students were compared and analyzed,
and the students in the study group also gave feedback on the formative evaluation system. Results: By comparing the scores of the two
groups, it was found that the scores of the study group were signifi cantly higher than those of the control group, and the diff erence was
statistically signifi cant (P<0.05); 80% of the students believed that the application of formative assessment in pediatric ultrasound clinical
teaching was helpful to the increase of their clinical thinking. 85% of the students believed that the application of the evaluation system in
the clinical teaching of pediatric ultrasound had a certain promoting signifi cance to improve their doctor-patient communication ability; 90%
of the students believed that the application of formative evaluation in pediatric ultrasound clinical teaching could eff ectively improve their
own skill operation ability; 80% of the students believed that the application of the teaching evaluation system could stimulate their interest
in learning to a certain extent. Conclusion: The application of formative evaluation in pediatric ultrasound clinical teaching can eff ectively
improve students’ self-study ability, innovation ability and problem-solving ability, and can greatly improve the quality of pediatric
ultrasound clinical teaching.
