Exploring the medical physics education of foreign students in Peking University Health Science Center

目的 了解来华留学生医学物理学学习效果及主要困难.方法 比较来华留学生入学考试物理学成绩及第一学年医学物理学课程成绩,通过访谈了解留学生学习医学物理学遇到的主要困难.结果 来华留学生医学物理学成绩离散程度增加,学习医学物理学课程的主要困难是语言问题.结论 采用英语教学、加强英文版教材建设、与中国国内学生混合编组进行PBL教学,是提高来华留学生医学物理学教学质量的有效手段.Objective To investigate the results and the difficulties of medical physics education for foreign students in Peking University Health Science Center.Methods The difference between the entrance examination score of physics and the final examination score of medical physics was analyzed and an interview on the difficulties in the learning of medical physics was conducted.Results The entrance examination scores of physics were more diversity than that of the medical physics.Most foreign students regarded medical physics as one of the most difficult subject and language was the main problem which they were facing.Conclusions Based on the investigation,several approaches were proposed to improve the achievement of medical physics education,such as teaching in English,optimizing the textbook in English and mixing Chinese students and foreign students in same group to promote problem-based learning.中国科技核心期刊(ISTIC)06849-8513
