Study on Autonomous Learning Mode of Physiology Course Based on the Network Resource.

Objective To investigate the effects of students' autonomous learning based on the network resource. Methods Fifty-five students in 2013 nursing class of Kunming Medical University were selected as the experimental class, and they were asked to learn independently by using the network resources. Other 54 students in 2013 nursing class were selected as the control class, and given the traditional autonomous learning method. Teachers designed the survey questionnaire and compared the results. Results There was significant difference in the test score between the experimental class and control class (P < 0.05) . The results of questionnaire survey showed that 82.7% students thought autonomous learning was important to the cultivation of comprehensive ability, and 75.9% students thought their abilities of autonomous learning were improved in the experimental class. However, there were 33.2% and 12.1% in the control class, respectively. Conclusion Autonomous learning based on the network resource is important to inspire students' learning interest, improve their self-study and comprehensive abilities. So, the learning mode is worth promoting and applying in undergraduate teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
