Prequestionnaire Investigation
A questionnaire was administered to 1628 medical students who had taken the PTC-IMTCM course. The questionnaire was formulated based on the characteristics and teaching objectives of the course, which included basic information, learning methods, learning habits, learning interests, and acceptance and demand for VSP-TCM. Students who had completed the course were chosen as survey subjects over those who did not complete it, because the former were more familiar with the contents and teaching methods of the course. They could also provide better feedback on course improvement. The results of the questionnaire were used to design the detailed functions and modules of the VSP-TCM system.
