The application of BOPPPS combined Case-Based Learning teaching mode in clinical practice of gastroenterology for eight-year medical program students

Abstract

AbstractBackground To introduce the teaching mode of BOPPPS combined Case-Based Learning in the clinical practice of gastroenterology for eight-year medical program students and to explore its application effect. Methods Forty students of eight-year medical program who were interns in the gastroenterology department at Wuhan Tongji Hospital from July 2022 to November 2022 were selected and divided into 2 groups by random number table method. In the case discussion session of the clinical practice, 20 students in the experimental group received BOPPPS combined Case-Based Learning teaching method, and 20 students in the control group received the traditional teaching method. The excellent rate of knowledge mastery, assessment scores, self-directed learning ability scores, and teaching satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results The excellent rate of knowledge mastery, assessment scores, and self-directed learning ability of the experimental group were all significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions BOPPPS combined Case-Based Learning teaching mode is applied to the case discussion of eight-year medical program students' clinical practice in gastroenterology, which can effectively improve the knowledge mastery, theoretical performance, and self-directed learning ability of gastroenterology.
