MEDICAL STUDENTS’ EVALUATION OF TEACHING SYSTEM: A BASIS FOR IMPROVING MEDICAL EDUCATION
Keywords:
Medical students, Evaluation of teaching system, Student evaluations of teaching, Teaching quality, Management of teaching evaluation systemAbstract
A high-quality teaching system is pivotal to the cultivation high-quality talents. Whereas teachers play a critical role in improving the teaching quality, quality teaching feedback is an ingredient for teacher success. Therefore, a reasonable and robust evaluation method for a teaching system will help academics to continuously analyze their teaching content and methods thereby improve teaching quality. The quality of medical education is fundamental to the development of medical education. Medical education is crucial in developing advanced medical talents through training, and the education quality of medical students directly influences the quality of medical and healthcare practice in the future. At present, there is an upward trend in the implementation of the evaluation of the teaching system in medical schools of various universities. However, several shortcomings remain. This review analyzes and discusses approaches to establish a scientific and reasonable evaluation system for medical students, to provide new ideas for the construction of medical evaluation indicators as well as clear guidelines and directions for medical schools to carry out education and teaching reforms in the future.References
