The Application of "Two-line and Six-stage" Teaching Mode in Teaching Human Anatomy in Nursing

Background: Human Anatomy always causes major hindrances to the learning of nursing students. We designed this study to observe the effectiveness of the "two-line and six-stage" (TLSS) teaching mode based on model making in teaching Human Anatomy in nursing. Methods: One class in the nursing major in Grade 20 was randomly selected as the control group, in which the traditional teaching mode was adopted; while, another class in the same major and grade was selected as the observation group, in which the TLSS teaching mode was adopted. After the course teaching was completed, these students in both groups were compared from the perspective of the final theoretical examination and physical specimen assessment. Besides, the evaluation of the teaching effectiveness of these students from both groups was also investigated. Results: The observation group outperformed the control group in both theoretical examination and physical specimen assessment, which was specifically manifested in six evaluation items, including the novelty of teaching methods, the elimination of the difficult points of the course, the mobilization of the learning enthusiasm, the interestingness of the course teaching, its effects on clinical thinking training, and the interpretation of the knowledge. Conclusion: The TLSS teaching mode based on model making can improve the effectiveness in teaching Human Anatomy
