title: [Application of research-based learning for bachelor intern students of stomatology].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To apply research-based learning in education of bachelor intern students of stomatology and evaluate its role in promoting the comprehensive quality of the students.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty students from grade 2007 and 2008 in school of stomatology, Wenzhou Medical University were enrolled in this study. Thirty of them were randomly selected into a group for research-based learning, while the others were taught with traditional teaching mode. Survey and assessment of the teaching effect was performed after the course. Independent t test was employed to evaluate the differences with SPSS16.0 software package.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No significant difference of exam results was revealed between the two groups. Questionnaire survey showed a good evaluation for the teaching mode and the teachers in the group research-based learning, but the evaluation of mastering research capability was lower.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Research-based learning mode promotes the study interest and comprehensive quality of the students. No evidence of interference with mastering clinical skills is disclosed.
