Abstract

Medical education research is relatively an emerging field, which is not only because of its interdisciplinary nature of pedagogy and medicine, but more importantly, the methods and findings of medical education research are borrowed from research results and literature in the fields of pedagogy, history, sociology, cognition and psychology. This determines the multidisciplinary nature of medical education research. In fact, many research problems are complex and diverse, which requires the use of knowledge and resources in multiple disciplines and fields for understanding or solution. Hence, now more emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary research, rather than pure multidisciplinary research, which is to integrate the theories, thinking and methods of multiple disciplines to jointly study a problem. In medical education research, appropriate use of theories and methods of different disciplines may produce new theories and methods, which in turn may be used for reference by other disciplines and fields. On the premise of this multi-disciplinary perspective, this paper discusses the impact of the change of medical education model on the smoking behavior of medical students, and points out that the non-smoking behavior of medical students is especially affected by the interaction between the role model behavior of teachers in medical colleges and the teaching humanistic environment, Finally, the conclusion is that the research on medical education similar to complex cases needs to be examined from the perspective of integrated thinking and multi-disciplinary.
