ABSTRACT: Due to the difficulty in the quantitative evaluation of the learning behavior of international students, formative evaluation has always represented a challenge for instructors in medical colleges. In the era of “Internet plus Education”, teachers could utilize the WeChat platform, to capitalize upon the supporting and leading function of information technology, to build the binding teaching mode of WeChat-assisted PBL and formative evaluation, and to carry out the real-time tracking, recording and feedback of the growth process of international students. This kind of teaching mode could realize more overall and fair quantitative evaluation and promote the transformation of international students from “passive learning” to “active learning”. WeChat could help address the current challenges of formative evaluation to a great extent with piles of powerful functions. This paper would probe into the binding teaching mode of WeChat-based PBL and formative evaluation, to establish the learner-centered and OTO (Online to Offline) educational ecology for international students. It is expected to provide some reference for the teaching reform of “Internet plus Education” Mode in our country.
