Application of Flipped Classroom Teaching Model Based on Micro-Course in Practical Training Teaching of Contact Lens Fitting Technology

Abstract

Objective: This paper aims to study the application of flipped classroom teaching model based on micro-course in the practical training teaching of contact lens fitting technology. Methods: From September 2021 to July 2023, 120 students majoring in ophthalmology and optometry were selected and randomly divided into groups. The control group adopted the traditional teaching mode, and the study group adopted the flipped classroom teaching mode based on micro-course. Teaching scores and the skills, observation and judgment, adaptability, and communication skills were compared between the groups. Results: Statistical comparison of teaching scores under different management methods showed that the clinical thinking score and practice work quality in the study group were higher than those of the control group, and the effect of the study group was better (P < 0.05). The overall scores of skills, observation and judgment, adaptability, and communication skills of the study group were better than those in the control group, and the comprehensive ability scores in the two groups were significantly different (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In practical training teaching of contact lens fitting technology, the application of flipped classroom teaching based on micro-course can improve the skill scores of personnel, and the overall effect is good. This can lay the foundation for advanced ophthalmology and optometry talents with profound theoretical knowledge and professional skills.
