Abstract:

Objective　To explore the effectiveness of using Chaoxing learning platform based on gesture analogy teaching method and 3D digital specimens in normal anthroposomatology teaching for nursing undergraduates.Methods　A total of 111 nursing undergraduates enrolled in 2021 and 2022 were selected as the subjects. The 2022 cohort served as the experimental group (n=54), implementing the gesture analogy teaching method based on Chaoxing learning platform and 3D digital specimens; the 2021 cohort served as the control group (n=57), implementing traditional teaching methods. The effectiveness of these teaching approaches was compared between two groups based on scores from periodic theoretical tests, practical tests, and final assessments. Student satisfaction with the teaching methods was also compared by using a questionnaire survey.Results　The experimental group outperformed the control group in periodic theoretical scores, practical test scores, usual score, final examination scores and total score (P＜0.05). Furthermore, the experimental group expressed higher satisfaction with the teaching method.Conclusion　The gesture-based teaching method utilizing the Chaoxing learning platform and 3D digital specimens can enhance the effectiveness of human anatomy education, stimulate students' interest and improve their skills in analysis and problem-solving, verbal communication, spatial thinking, creative thinking, self-directed learning, and teamwork. This method is worthy of broader application.
