Background: The number of medical undergraduate students in Chinese college classes ranges from dozens to over 100. As a result, the interaction between teacher and students is difficult to conduct. Student attendance and participation need to be improved. Methods: Two classes of fourth-year undergraduate medical students, with each class comprising 115 students, participated in the study. One class was the trial group taught by the block-based teaching method based on cybernetics. This study was conducted with three of the courses in the Introduction to Oncology. The course of the trial group included several blocks. Each block had a test paper, which was answered immediately by students in class using the Internet. The teacher received feedback from the students when the correct rate of response was less than 90%. The teacher adjusted the teaching in the following blocks according to feedback information. The other class was the control group being taught with the traditional lecture-based teaching method. Results: The average number of attendees in the trial group was 104/115 (90.43%) and that in the control group was 83/115 (72.17%) (p=0.0003). The teacher adjusted teaching three times in the radiotherapy course due to the difficulty of knowledge. Feedback and adjustment of the upper body of chemotherapy was once and the lower body of chemotherapy was once due to the students’ attitudes to the class. The average total score of the trial group was 86.06 ± 7.46 and that of the control group was 80.38 ± 6.97 (p=0.041). Questionnaire I showed that the trial group students’ attendance and participation was better than the control group. Questionnaire II showed that the block-based teaching method based on cybernetics was approved by the students. Conclusions: The block-based teaching method based on cybernetics had good effects in medical classes with large number of Chinese undergraduates.

“…Using this strategy, students developed, applied, and self-regulated their learning actions to acquire domain-knowledge and develop their learning skills [ 11 ]. Terekhov created an education project at St. Petersburg State University in Russia called the cybernetics construction set, which was used for robot programming training for college students and achieved success [ 12 ]. Zhang applied cybernetics in the teaching method of physiology, set the teaching process as a cybernetics system, and adjusted the details of teaching according to feedback information from students.…”

Background Class attendance is important for academic performance. Personal interactions between teachers and students are difficult in large classes; the number of medical undergraduate students in China ranges from dozens to over 100. It is important for teachers to control the teaching process to improve student attendance and participation. Methods Two classes of fourth-year undergraduate medical students, with each class comprising 115 students, participated in the study. One class, the trial group, was taught by the block-based teaching method based on cybernetics. This study was conducted with three of the courses in the Introduction to Oncology subject, and the trial group’s courses included several blocks. Each block had a test paper that the students responded to immediately in class using the Internet. The teacher obtained feedback from the students when the rate of correct responses to block-test questions was less than 90%. The teacher adjusted the teaching in the following blocks according to the feedback information. The other class, the control group, was taught using the traditional lecture-based teaching method. Results The average attendance in the trial group was 104/115 (90.43%), and that in the control group was 83/115 (72.17%) (p = 0.0003). The teacher adjusted the teaching three times in the radiotherapy course owing to the complex ideas. After feedback, information on chemotherapy for the upper body was adjusted once, as was that on chemotherapy for the lower body, owing to students’ attitudes. The average total score of the trial group was 86.06 ± 17.46 and that of the control group was 80.38 ± 6.97 (p = 0.041). Questionnaire I showed that the trial group students’ attendance and participation were better than in the control group. Questionnaire II showed that the block-based teaching method based on cybernetics was approved by the students. Conclusions The block-based teaching method based on cybernetics used in medical classes with large numbers of Chinese undergraduate students had positive effects.

“…In the majority of the cases wheeled mobile robots were used in teaching [6-8, 10, 11], but less popular applications included teaching humanoid robotics for children [5], robotic manipulators [12] and aerial robotics [13]. In this work TRIK robotics mobile platform [14,16] was used to teach robotics to children. In contrast with the previous works we specifically address the challenges of formulating the robotics exercises for children.…”

The present work describes the experience of teaching robotics for children at secondary school level. A set of exercises was designed and evaluated. The exercises were designed for teaching robotic systems, basic programming and control concepts, and the tasks included learning important mathematical and physical science definitions. The proposed robotics exercises were introduced to the curriculum of the London School of Mathematics and Programming and preliminary teaching and learning outcomes showed that the majority of the proposed robotics exercises were attractive to children independently of the tasks' difficulty.
