Abstract
PURPOSE
To compare the education effect of video demonstrations and conventional teaching on the prevention and control of myopia.
METHODS
Eighty students were randomly divided into an experimental (n = 40) and a control (n = 40) group, and each group was split into two classes of 40 students. The students in the experimental group attended classes mainly based on video demonstration and those in the control group received conventional teaching. All students then undertook a test and the examination scores were statistically compared between the two groups.
RESULTS
The educational background, age, and gender did not differ between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The experimental group had a mean test score of 8.25 ± 1.45, which was slightly lower than the mean of 8.58 ± 1.11 in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (t = -1.589, P = 0.114).
CONCLUSION
The educational effect of video demonstrations was almost identical to that of traditional teaching. In addition, video classes reduced the training time and financial costs, indicating that they deserve widespread application.
期刊介绍:
Eye science was founded in 1985. It is a national medical journal supervised by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by Sun Yat-sen University, and hosted by Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center (in October 2020, it was changed from a quarterly to a monthly, with the publication number: ISSN: 1000-4432; CN: 44-1119/R). It is edited by Ge Jian, former dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, Liu Yizhi, director and dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, and Lin Haotian, deputy director of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, as executive editor. It mainly reports on new developments and trends in the field of ophthalmology at home and abroad, focusing on basic research in ophthalmology, clinical experience, and theoretical knowledge and technical operations related to epidemiology. It has been included in important databases at home and abroad, such as Chemical Abstract (CA), China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), China Core Journals (Selection) Database (Wanfang), and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP).
