Objective To explore the application effect of the improved BOPPPS teaching model in the teaching of neurology.Methods One hundred and eight clinical medicine students from the 2018 cohort of our university were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two classes:the experimental group(54 students)and the control group(54 students).The experimental group adopted an improved BOPPPS teaching mode,while the control group adopted traditional teaching methods.The theoretical assessment scores,practi-cal skills assessment scores,and evaluation of the teaching mode were compared between the two groups of students.Compare the teacher's e-valuation of the comprehensive abilities of two groups of students.Results The theoretical assessment and clinical practice skills assessment scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The students in the experimental group believed that the reform of the teaching mode could better improve their learning interest and participation,enhance their ability to learn independently and internalize knowledge(P<0.05).The evaluation of students'comprehensive abilities by teachers showed that the experimental group had stronger clinical thinking ability,medical record writing ability,and doctor-patient communication ability than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The improved BOPPPS teaching model can improve student learning participation,enhance knowledge internalization ability,help students establish clinical thinking patterns,and achieve clinical job competency enhancement.
