ABSTRACT: This study aims to explore the application path and practical effect of the deep integration of the BOPPPS teaching model and virtual simulation technology in the teaching of “Medical Imaging Examination Technology”. In response to the long-standing core pain points in the teaching of this course, such as expensive equipment, scarce practical opportunities, high risks, and the disconnection between theory and practice, a new teaching system is constructed with the BOPPPS six-stage teaching model as the framework and a high-fidelity virtual simulation system as the carrier. Through a quasi-experimental research method, medical imaging technology students are divided into an experimental group and a control group, and the teaching effects are systematically compared. The results show that the virtual simulation teaching based on BOPPPS can significantly improve students’ theoretical knowledge mastery, standardized operation skills, clinical problem-solving abilities, and learning satisfaction. This model, through a closed-loop design of “introduction-objectives-pre-test-participatory learning-post-test-summary”, effectively guides students to achieve in-depth learning from cognitive understanding to skill internalization in a risk-free, repeatable immersive environment, providing a replicable and scalable systematic solution for the practical teaching reform of the medical imaging technology major.
