Abstract:

Medical parasitology education has been facing some difficulties，because it is a course of wide range，lacking clinical cases and concerned specimens of parasites currently. In addition，its relationship with life is not closely enough. All these reasons may impact the effect of class education negatively. Therefore，it is important to increase the vitality of parasitology education and diversify the instructional mode by using the resources from Internet. In recent years，the Discovery Channel has uploaded a documentary Monsters Inside Me online. This documentary is high professional and closely linked with parasitology. It maintains numbers of clinical cases about parasitic diseases. Each episode is about 3 minutes and shortly enough to be introduced into class teaching. However，this resource has not been fully used in domestic temporally. We found that direct introduction of the documentary into class teaching can enrich teaching forms to attract learning interest of students，and finally improve the teaching effect of class. Above that，another popular documentary A Bite of China involves many related knowledge points of parasitology. The appropriate usage of the knowledge can build up close linkage between book and life，which is extremely helpful to give students a deep impression of parasitology. In brief，it is our strong recommendation to introduce the documentary Monsters Inside Me into class.

摘要：

医学寄生虫学教学面临一些困境，如涵盖范围广、临床病例较为罕见、寄生虫标本少以及同日常生活联系不够紧密等，这些不利因素影响了教学效果。随着互联网的发展与普及，利用网络资源来增强寄生虫学教学活力不失为一种丰富课堂教学的手段。近年来，《探索发现》频道在线提供了关于寄生虫感染病例的纪录片《Monsters Inside Me》（体内恶魔）。该片制作精良、采用病例数量大，与寄生虫学联系紧密，每集大约3 min，非常适合课堂教学引用。但目前国内尚未充分利用这一宝贵的教学资源。作者直接将其引入课堂后发现，其可以丰富教学形式、吸引学生学习兴趣、提高课堂教学效果。此外，近年我国非常流行的纪录片《舌尖上的中国》在多方面涉及到与寄生虫学相关的知识点，教学中适当贯穿《舌尖上的中国》中所提及的一些信息，可以拉近书本知识和生活的距离，加深学生关于寄生虫的印象。总之，作者认为将相关纪录片引入医学寄生虫学课堂教学，这一做法具有良好的推广价值。
