Objective:This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the modified Problem-Based Learning(PBL)teaching mode in international medical students teaching of pediatric respiratory diseases in a school.Methods:Sixty international students,enrolled in the clinical medicine program at Guangxi Medical University,were chosen as participants.They entered the pediatrics study between October 2016 and September 2018 and were divided into two groups:the experimental group(30 students)and the control group(30 students).The experimental group experienced the improved PBL teaching mode,while the control group followed the traditional teaching approach.A comparison was made between the final theoretical examination and case analysis scores of the two groups,and the teaching satisfaction regarding the modified PBL model was assessed through a questionnaire.Results:The results indicated a significant difference in case analysis scores between the experimental and control groups(P＜0.05).Notably,33.33％of participants in the experimental group expressed an urgent need for PBL teaching.Conclusion:The application of the modified PBL model in the international medical students teaching of pediatric respiratory diseases at Guangxi Medical University demonstrated an enhancement in case analysis skills.However,it did not show a substantial improvement in teaching satisfaction.
