Objective To investigate the application of microteaching in experimental teaching of pathophysiology. Methods A total of 120 integrated Western and Chinese medicine major students were randomly divided into experimental group (n=60) and control group (n=60). The experimental group accepted microteaching method. First
students were divided into several groups
teacher gave every group 10~15 minutes microteaching and shot the video of training process; second
students watched the video to find their deficiency with the help of teacher; and then students overcame the deficiency by repeated practice; last
the teacher gave evaluation. The control group adopted traditional method. Results The average test results of experimental group were (83.7±6.8)
while the average test results of control group were (76.1±7.2)
so the average test results of experimental group were higher than that of control group (P=0.000). In teaching satisfaction survey
91.7% students were satisfied with the microteaching mode
and the satisfaction of experimental group were higher than that of control group (P=0.03). Conclusion The application of microteaching in experimental teaching of pathophysiology can improve students' experimental skills
increase students' interest in learning and improve the quality of pathophysiology teaching.
