AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of the BOPPPS teaching model based on the concept of outcome-based education (OBE) in the teaching of aerospace medicine in the context of the new medical curriculum.
METHODS This study involved fifth-year aerospace medicine students from the Air Force Medical University (AFMU) in the classes of 2020 and 2021, taking the practical course “Impact of Acceleration on Animal Cardiovascular Function”. The control group (n=51, class of 2020) was taught using traditional methods, while the experimental group (n=60, class of 2021) was instructed using the BOPPPS teaching model based on OBE. The effectiveness of both teaching approaches was assessed through a multi-faceted evaluation including teacher assessments of learning outcomes, student satisfaction surveys, and analysis of course grades.
RESULTS Compared with the control group, the comprehensive evaluation scores of teachers in the experimental group significantly improved (P<0.01); The satisfaction of the experimental group students with the overall classroom (P<0.05), as well as their satisfaction with learning interest and enthusiasm (P<0.05), theoretical knowledge understanding and mastery (P<0.05), practical operation skills mastery (P<0.01), teamwork ability (P<0.05), and problem-solving ability (P<0.05), were significantly higher than those of the control group; And the course assessment scores of the experimental group were also better than those of the control group (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION The application of the OBE-based BOPPPS teaching model in aerospace medicine education significantly improves teaching effectiveness and student satisfaction. This approach offers valuable insights and experiences for reforming aerospace medicine teaching in the new medical education context and is worth further promotion and application.
