Abstract: The case-based learning (CBL) promotes communication between students and teachers through cases, improves students' ability to identify and solve problems, and promotes close integration of theory and practice. This study illustrated the design and implementation of the pediatric physiotherapy course with CBL, taking the teaching of the 2020 class of medical technology master students of Shanghai University of Sport from March to June 2021 as an example, and evaluated the teaching effect through theoretical and operational performance assessments and satisfaction questionnaires. The results showed that the final theoretical knowledge and practical test scores were (85.23±5.35) and (86.83±4.95), respectively. The satisfaction scores of teaching methods and content mastery were (28.47±2.26) and (23.33±2.53), respectively. It can be seen that the CBL helps to improve the learning effect and course satisfaction, but the effects on students' ability to solve practical clinical problems are still worth further exploration.
