5G时代下VR/AR技术融入《口腔预防医学》课程的实践与探索

摘要

目的 本研究旨在探讨VR/AR技术在《口腔预防医学》课程中的应用效果及其对教学模式和学生能力培养的影响。方法 在南昌大学口腔医学院的2019级41名本科生中采用传统的授课教学模式，对2020级40名本科生通过采用VR/AR技术构建沉浸式教学模式、开展多元化教学活动。课程结束后对81名本科生针对教学效果进行问卷调查及评价。结果 问卷调查结果显示，学生对不同授课方式学生对课程学习的兴趣和参与度，知识掌握程度，学生的创新能力和实践能力的自我评价都具有显著差异（P<0.05）。结论 在课程中采用VR/AR技术能够显著提高教学质量和学生综合素质，为口腔预防医学教育改革提供了新的思路和方法，符合国内口腔医学专业人才的培养目标，顺应教学改革的发展趋势。

Abstract

Objective This study aims to explore the effectiveness of VR/AR technologies in the Oral Preventive Medicine curriculum and their impact on teaching models and the cultivation of students' competencies.
Methods A traditional lecture-based teaching model was applied to 41 undergraduates from the 2019 cohort at the School of Stomatology, Nanchang University, while an immersive teaching model utilizing VR/AR technologies and diversified teaching activities was implemented for 40 undergraduates from the 2020 cohort. After the course, questionnaires and evaluations on teaching effectiveness were conducted among all 81 participants.
Results The questionnaire results revealed significant differences (P<0.05) in students' self-evaluations regarding interest, engagement, knowledge acquisition, innovation capabilities, and practical skills between the two teaching approaches.
Conclusion   The integration of VR/AR technologies significantly enhances teaching quality and students' comprehensive competencies, providing innovative strategies for reforming oral preventive medicine education. This approach aligns with the training objectives of domestic stomatology professionals and aligns with the developmental trends of educational innovation.
