Abstract:To improve the teaching effect of Veterinary Microbiology and foster students’ independent learning ability and application ability, we developed and applied a hybrid teaching strategy based on both the Chaoxing learning platform and BOPPPS instructional framework. BOPPPS is student-centered blended teaching model with six sequential steps: bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post-assessment, and summary. In the teaching, an online resource repository was built on the Chaoxing learning platform, which included teaching videos, chapter quizzes, a case database, and supplementary literature. The offline classroom activities were structured around the BOPPPS stages. For example, with respect to Brucellosis, different teaching cases and activities were developed for students from the Veterinary Medicine program and the Veterinary Public Health program, tailored to different professional contents and teaching goals. We carried out a control-teaching experiment on 300 students who majored in Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Public Health at Gansu Agricultural University and were enrolled in 2020-2023. We evaluated the effect of the teaching model by means of questionnaires and performance. The results showed that compared with the conventional teaching group, the blended teaching group had higher learning interest, classroom participation, independent study ability, and comprehensive scores (P<0.01). This integrated teaching model based on Chaoxing learning platform combined with BOPPPS can optimize the teaching pattern, enhances student engagement, and offers a practical route to the digital development of courses related to veterinary medicine.
