Abstract: Objective To evaluate the application of microteaching method in web-based teaching for international students during pediatric internship. Methods A total of 58 international students were randomly divided two groups. The experiment group was given microteaching method online,while the control group was trained with traditional case-based method. After the training completion,the learning outcomes and teaching quality were compared in view point of basic theory and practical skills plus a questionnaire survey. Results The test scores of the experimental group and the control group were (82.80±1.64) and (64.60±1.62) respectively. The comprehensive satisfaction scores of the experimental group and the control group were (4.31±0.65) and (2.97±0.54) respectively. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). Conclusions Microteaching method is helpful to improve the examination results of international students in pediatrics internship, help international students and teachers learn from each other, help students find problems and establish correct clinical diagnosis and treatment thinking.
