Abstract

Objective: This study examines the efficacy of virtual simulation pedagogy grounded in Kolb's experiential learning model to enhance clinical practice skills and learning experiences among medical undergraduates.

Methods: A cohort of 527 medical undergraduates were randomly assigned to a traditional teaching group (N = 264) or a virtual simulation teaching group based on Kolb's experiential learning model (N = 263). Comparative analysis was conducted through practical skill assessments, self-evaluations, and course satisfaction surveys.

Results: The results demonstrated that the virtual simulation teaching group based on Kolb's experiential learning model significantly outperformed the traditional teaching group in both practical skills and self-assessment (P<0.01). In addition, this group shows significantly high levels of course satisfaction.

Conclusion: Virtual simulation teaching based on Kolb's experiential learning model effectively enhances medical undergraduate practical competencies and learning motivation, providing a viable approach for optimizing medical education methodologies.

提高医学教育中的实践技能：用Kolb体验式学习模式评价虚拟仿真教学的效果。

目的：探讨基于Kolb体验式学习模式的虚拟模拟教学法在提高医学本科生临床实践技能和学习体验方面的效果。方法：将527名医学本科生随机分为传统教学组（264人）和基于Kolb体验式学习模型的虚拟模拟教学组（263人）。通过实践技能评估、自我评价和课程满意度调查进行对比分析。结果：基于Kolb体验式学习模式的虚拟仿真教学组在实践技能和自我评估两方面均显著优于传统教学组(p)。结论：基于Kolb体验式学习模式的虚拟仿真教学有效提升了医学本科生的实践能力和学习动机，为优化医学教育方法提供了可行的途径。
