Application of BOPPPS Teaching Method Based on Online Education Platform in Surgical Education
Objective To explore the practical effects of the BOPPPS teaching method based on an online education platform in surgical teaching.Methods The subjects of the study were 70 undergraduate students who were provided with surgical teaching at Qiqihar Medical University from March to December 2022.Of these,35 students who were taught from March to June 2022 were served as the control group,and 35 students who were taught from September to December 2022 were served as the experimental group.Traditional teaching methods were employed by the control group,while the BOPPPS teaching method,based on an online education platform,was utilized by the experimental group in addition to traditional methods.After the teaching period,both groups were assessed through theoretical exams,practical exams,and case analysis.Additionally,self-evaluation questionnaires on the application ability of surgical teaching knowledge,critical thinking ability,and the quality of surgical teaching were completed by the students.Results The experimental group's scores in the theoretical exam,practical exam,and case analysis were(89.09±4.77)points,(88.86±4.95)points,and(88.94±4.73)points respectively,all significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).In the self-evaluation of knowledge application ability,the experimental group's scores in diagnosis,treatment plan formulation,technical operation,risk assessment,complication management,and equipment use were(3.83±0.79)points,(3.91±0.78)points,(3.86±0.81)points,(3.94±0.80)points,(3.97±0.79)points,and(3.94±0.87)points respectively,all significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The self-evaluation of critical thinking ability showed that the experimental group's scores in information analysis,logical reasoning,self-reflection,assessment and judgment,decision-making ability,and concept formation were(3.94±0.87)points,(3.86±0.77)points,(3.77±0.84)points,(4.11±0.80)points,(4.09±0.89)points,and(4.00±0.87)points respectively,significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The teaching quality questionnaire results showed that the experimental group's scores for all aspects of teaching quality evaluation were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The BOPPPS teaching method based on an online education platform achieves good results in surgical teaching.
