Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - EyeTeacher

Experimental: Interventional group - Attend EyeTeacher lecture before taking the regular ophthalmology lecture in medical school.

No intervention: Control group - Attend regular ophthalmology lectures in medical school.


Other interventions: EyeTeacher
Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive access to the EyeTeacher system, along with their username, password, and a user manual, one week before the start of the course. They will follow instructions on the website and complete a quiz before and after each course. After completing the EyeTeacher curriculum, they will take the first examination (Examination 1) and complete a set of questionnaires. A classroom will be provided for study purposes, but no restrictions will be imposed on the study location. Following the EyeTeacher section, participants will attend the ophthalmology course in the regular training program, with support from the EyeTeacher system. They will be evaluated according to the ophthalmology posting's evaluation criteria (Examination 2).

Title: Ophthalmology Theoretical Examination. The examination includes 40 multiple-choice questions and two essay questions related to ophthalmology knowledge, to be completed within one hour without the use of reference materials. The exam will be graded by experts based on a standardized answer key. The score ranges from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a deeper understanding of the ophthalmology knowledge. Students in both the interventional group and the control group will complete the exam within the specified time on the EyeTeacher system. The data will be collected in the system's backend.

The study time spent using each teaching module in the interventional group is tracked by the EyeTeacher system website, while the study time for the control group and the out-of-system study time for the interventional group are collected through a questionnaire. Questionnaire title: Time of Study in Ophthalmology The questionnaire consists of fill-in-the-blank questions, with time measured in minutes. The content includes: class time, exercise time, discussion time, and reading reference material time. The questionnaires for both the interventional and control groups are completed on the EyeTeacher system, and the data is collected through the backend.
