Abstract: tTo explore the influence of the flipped classroom combined with TBL (team based learning) teaching mode on the teaching of medical biology experiments, 64 preventive medicine students were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (n=32) with traditional teaching method and experimental group (n=32) with flipped classroom integrated with TBL teaching methodology. Effects of teaching were evaluated by score evaluation and questionnaire survey. The difference between average scores of comprehensive ability evaluation in the experimental group (85.4±9.3) and the control group (70.3±11.5) is remarkable significant. The results of survey showed that more than 90% of experimental group students thought flipped classroom combined with TBL teaching mode could help to improve learning interest, independent thinking and operation ability and team cooperation. Flipped classroom mode, which combines with the TBL teaching methodology could not only effectively improve the students′ ability of autonomous learning, but also significantly promote medical biology experiment teaching effect.
