The Digital Evaluation and Analysis for Traditional or Online Blended Learning of Acupuncture Manipulation

The plan attempts to enable the learners to use the blended learning, flipped classroom and Richard Mayer's multimedia learning theory, in the kinematic feedback and kinetic feedback, combined with the new teaching methods of new science and technology Acusensor2TM taking digital record of operating acupuncture needles form of exercise, intensity, etc, to enhance the results of independent learning and assessment by sensory feedback, and applied to teaching systematized design. We want to include the fourth grade and eighth grade students of Traditional Chinese Medicine school, as well as residents of Chinese medicine department. The experimental group receive online blended learning and the control group receive the traditional teaching mode. The experimental group watch the multimedia demonstration video online, use communication software for group discussion or get teacher’s advice, while the control group watch traditional teaching video. Then to do "twist or rotate" and “lift or thrust” reinforcing or reducing method, and the "dragon and tiger warfare" for three times. After a week of study, the subjects were asked to repeat the same operation. Acusensor2TM provide parameters such as lift and thrust, twisting, intensity, frequency and torque measurement could be used to study the forms of exercise of acupuncture needles for acupuncture manipulation. Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) were used to analyze the learning analysis, the learners can compare the expected results with the actual results, the parameters studied for acupuncture manipulation could provide objective quantitative comparative analysis for effectiveness of learning and for statistical analysis to perform " The digital evaluation and analysis for traditional or online blended learning of Acupuncture manipulation ".
