Objective To explore the effect of SPOC-based integrated learning method in the teaching of clinical skills of specialized masters degree students. Methods Sixty masters degree students in the class of 2023 at the Clinical College of North China University of Science and Technology were selected for the study, and 30 students were randomly selected as the experimental group to be taught by the SPOC-based integrated learning method, while the other 30 students were adopted as the control group to be taught by the traditional teaching. The teaching effect evaluation of the two groups of students, including the summative and formative evaluation of the students theoretical assessment scores and skill operation assessment, as well as the students teaching evaluation, was conducted for comparative analysis between the groups. The data were analyzed by t-test and chi-square test using SPSS 20.0. Results The difference between the theoretical assessment scores of the experimental group and the control group in the summative evaluation was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but the scores of the experimental groups students were all significantly higher than those of the control group in the practical operation assessment. In the teaching satisfaction survey, students in the experimental group rated higher than the control group in the degree of mastery of theoretical knowledge, clinical diagnosis and treatment of disease discursive ability, and satisfaction with the form of teaching organization and teaching effect. Conclusion SPOC-based integrated learning method teaching is more conducive to improve the practical ability of medical students, improve the clinical thinking ability and comprehensive quality of medical students, improve the learning initiative and learning efficiency of medical students, and has a better prospect of popularization and application.
