Abstract

Growing educational demands for the basic medical subjects due to rapidly expanding importance of basic medical sciences including anatomy and increasing amount of medical know ledges have brought up the need to use new methods in learning. However, the number of professors in basic medicine didn't change within the last decades. Recent development of information and communication technologies has greatly influenced on the education and exchange of information. Furthermore, this technology is now widely used in the education and evaluation of medical students. The purposes of this study are to describe practical services available on network system (cyber lecture), and to evaluate the efficacy of this system in the field of basic medical subjects including neuroanatomy and histology. In this study, we adopted several teaching strategies of newly developed cyber teaching, face-to-face teaching, and practice. Medical students of Kang-Won national and Dankook universities were participated and asked to complete an anonymous survey in private. The majority of students had already experienced web-based leaning at least once and preferred this lecture system to be expanded hereafter. Some students suggested intimate integration of photo¬micrographs shown in cyber-lectures to the histology lab for the maximization of educational effect. Results in this study show that this kind of lecture system is useful in teaching basic medical subjects, but cannot replace totally a teacher's share in the learning process. Feedback from the medical students shows that this education is widely used and needed. Cyber lecture system based on network technology is likely to play important roles in many aspects of medical fields and expected to make new paradigm of medical education in the near future.

기초의학 교과목들에 대한 강의 수요가 의학전공자뿐만 아니라 건강, 보건, 의료계통의 전공자들까지 확대됨에도 불구하고 강의를 전담할 전공교수들의 수가 절대적으로 부족하다. 더군다나 통합교육(integrative lecture)을 중심으로 하는 교과과정 변경으로 인하여 기초의학 교과목에 대한 강의시간 배정이 줄어드는 시점에서 기존 강의방식의 대체방안으로써 가상강의방식을 도입하여 단국대학교 및 강원대학교 의과대학의 신경해부학과 조직학 정규 강의에 적용하였다. 강의와 평가가 종료된 직후 학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 하여 가상강의의 효과를 분석하였다. 가상강의방식을 활용한 교육에 있어 수강 학생들의 만족도는 높게 나타났으며 기타 기초의학교과목들에 대해서도 가상강의가 확대 적용되기를 원하였다. 가상강의는 반복학습이 가능하고 시간제약이 없어서 유용하다는 점외에도 천통적인 강의실 수업방식보다 질의응답의 편의성이 높다고 하였다. 또한 조직학의 경우 가상강의와 실습을 병행하는 교과목 운용방식에 대한 선호도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이러한 장점들에도 불구하고 강의 속도가 너무 빠르다거나, 난이도가 다소 높았다는 등의 의견이 있었으며, 가상강의로 진행되는 만큼 평가방식, 출석 점검, 소통기회 확대 등의 기술적인 보완이 필요한 설정이다. 해부학 관련 교과목인 조직학 및 신경해부학에 대한 가상강의는 기초의학에 배정된 부족한 강의시간을 효과적으로 보완하고 고해상도 현미경사진과 같은 멀티미디어자료들을 효과적으로 운용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 대다수의 학생들이 컴퓨터 활용능력이 충분하므로 가상강의는 더욱 활성화될 것이며, 향후 기초의학뿐만 아니라 임상의학 분야에서도 가상강의의 적극적인 도입이 기대된다.
