Teaching assessment
ONCOLOGY
Once all the Introduction to Oncology courses had been completed, the final theoretical examination was held. Two questionnaire surveys were conducted pertaining to attendance and participation in class and evaluations of the teaching methods. The Introduction to Oncology subject had eight courses, and this trial was conducted in three of them. For the trial group, students had five courses taught by the lecture-based teaching method and three courses taught by the block-based teaching method based on cybernetics. For the control group, students had all eight courses taught by the lecture-based teaching method. Therefore, Questionnaire II, pertaining to students’ evaluation of the two teaching modes, was administered to the trial group but not the control group. Questionnaire I, pertaining to the students’ attendance and participation in class, was administered in both groups.
