Abstract: Isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the mental health of students, leading to higher rates of loneliness and depression symptoms. Scholars have primarily addressed this issue through the cultivation of social relationships, emphasizing their influence on mental and physical health outcomes. However, the paper argues that this approach is insufficient for primary and secondary students. Therefore, the concept of community understanding is proposed as an alternative approach. The purpose of this research is to design and implement an evaluation system that aims to foster the development of community understanding among primary and secondary school students. This research is based on the premise that students can enhance their community understanding through engaging in social practice activities, which are experiential learning opportunities that expose students to the real-world situations and issues in their communities. The strategies of an integrated system architecture, overall construction, and gradual progress are outlined, focusing on exploring and utilizing community resources, establishing a community practice workplace, and enriching the educational connotation of "Five Education." The paper also illustrates the research tools and practical activities implemented to foster students' community understanding and promote their comprehensive development. The significance of this study is that it can provide schools and communities with a practical and useful tool for assessing students’ social practices, which can help them to improve the community understanding.Abstract: Isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the mental health of students, leading to higher rates of loneliness and depression symptoms.

Abstract: Objective: To objectively evaluate the feasibility and significance of OSCE in the pediatric rotation practice assessment. Methods: OSCE (include three examinations: case examination, physical examination and clinical skills examination) was conducted for the 19th five-year clinical pediatrics students of Hainan Medical College, and a questionnaire survey was conducted for examiners and candidates after the assessment. Results: The OSCE results of the 19th five-year clinical pediatrics graduates of Hainan Medical College were in line with the normal distribution. All of the 100 OSCE forms scores were more than 75 points. The difference between the pass rate and the excellent rate in the three assessments was statistically significant (x2=10.899, P=0.004). The pairwise comparisons between groups indicated that the excellent rate of physical examination and skill assessment were higher than that of case assessment, and the differences were statistically significant (x2 was 8.303 and 5.531 respectively, and P was 0.004 and 0.019 respectively). The difference between the average score of the OSCE (91.39±4.42) and the traditional written test (80.64±4.20) was statistically significant (t=11.478, P<0.001). The results of the questionnaire survey showed that pediatric medical students lacked solid clinical basic skills and clinical thinking. Conclusion: OSCE can objectively and effectively evaluate the clinical ability of pediatric medical students and promote their learning enthusiasm, which is worth promoting.Abstract: Objective: To objectively evaluate the feasibility and significance of OSCE in the pediatric rotation practice assessment.
