AIM To evaluate the pedagogical effectiveness of integrating the rain classroom approach with the BOPPPS model in the course “The Influence of Altitude Hypoxia Exposure on Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases”.
METHODS The course design for undergraduate students majoring in preventive medicine and clinical medicine from the 2022 cohort at the Air Force Medical University incorporated the rain classroom intelligent teaching based on the BOPPPS model. For comparative analysis, traditional teaching methods were adopted for undergraduates majoring in nursing and stomatology from the same cohort.
RESULTS Students in the new teaching method group achieved a significantly higher mean score (89.2 ± 1.7) compared to those in the traditional teaching method group (83.3 ± 2.0) (P<0.05). Additionally, a greater proportion of students in the new teaching method group (67.65%) achieved excellence compared to the traditional teaching group (48.72%) (P<0.05). Questionnaire survey results indicate that the new teaching method significantly improves students’ comprehension of challenging course concepts and enhances their learning initiative, enthusiasm, classroom atmosphere, and teaching satisfaction.
CONCLUSION The new intelligent teaching integrated with the BOPPPS model demonstrates a substantial capacity to enhance classroom interaction and improve teaching effectiveness. This approach provides valuable insights for future reforms in the course “The Influence of Altitude Hypoxia Exposure on Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases”.
