Abstract:Objective To explore the practical application effect of BOPPPS teaching mode in orthopedics theory teaching. Methods A total of 107 five-year undergraduate clinical medicine students (class 3 and 4) majoring in 2016 from Dongfeng Hospital Affiliated to Hubei University of Medicine were selected as the research objects. And they were divided into experimental group (55 students) and control group (52 students) by class as the unit. BOPPPS teaching mode and traditional teaching mode were adopted respectively, and comprehensive evaluation was conducted through questionnaire survey and theoretical examination after the course. Results In the experimental group, the proportions of"strong interest in learning and initiative" "clear teaching purpose, prominent teaching focus" "vivid and intuitive content, strong participation" "increased learning pressure, curriculum tension" "teaching goal completion, ability improvement" were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The total scores of theory test, practical operation test and basic theory in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The theoretical teaching activities designed according to the BOPPS model promote the student-centered teaching reform, that encourage students to take the initiative to participate in classroom learning and improve the teaching effect, which is worthy of popularization and application in orthopedics clinical teaching.
