R语言在我国高校预防医学专业教学中的应用现状研究

Applications of R Language in the Teaching of Preventive Medicine in China’s Universities

摘要: 目的：在大数据时代和“新医科”建设背景下，分析R语言在我国高校预防医学专业教学中的应用现状，为深入开展预防医学专业教学改革提供基础数据。方法：在全国范围内随机抽取六所开设预防医学专业的高校作为研究现场开展现况调查，了解我国高校预防医学专业教学中R语言课程的开设情况，通过问卷调查分析学生的R语言使用情况、学习现状、专业需求等。结果：六所高校中仅有两所高校面向预防医学专业学生开设了R语言相关课程，修读课程的学生对本校R语言课程教学的认可程度较高。整体来看，预防医学专业学生在学习过程中对R语言的需求大，但自我评价熟悉度欠缺，学习途径分散，自学难度较大。结论：R语言是我国高校预防医学专业教学的必要工具和内容，但目前融合度相对欠缺。建议高校针对预防医学专业学生开设R语言相关课程，提高学生使用R语言解决实际专业问题的能力，助力培养高质量应用型医学人才。

Abstract: Objective: Under the background of the era of big data and the construction of “New Medical Science”, this study aimed to analyze the applications of R language in the teaching of preventive medicine in China’s universities, and provide basic data for the teaching reform of preventive medicine. Methods: We randomly selected six universities with the major of preventive medicine as the research sites to investigate the applications of R language in the teaching of preventive medicine, as well as the use, learning status, and professional needs of R language among students. Results: Only 2 of the 6 universities offered R language courses for preventive medicine students, and the students who took the courses had a high degree of recognition of the R language course in their own universities. On the whole, preventive medicine students had a great demand for the R language in the learning process. However, their self-evaluation of familiarity with the R language was insufficient. They thought the ways to learn the R language were scattered, and the self-study was difficult. Conclusion: R language is a necessary tool and content in the teaching of preventive medicine in China’s universities, but it is relatively lacking in integration at present. It is suggested that universities may need to offer R language courses for preventive medicine students to improve their ability to use R language to solve practical professional problems and help cultivate high-quality applied medical talents.
