Abstract: In order to enhance the effectiveness of biochemistry courses, this study focuses on the application of the BOPPPS teaching model to the topic of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. This initiative aligns with the university’s commitment to nurturing innovative and integrative talents as part of its transition into a teaching and research-oriented institution. The research findings indicate that the BOPPPS teaching model effectively enhances students’ engagement in the classroom, fosters their enthusiasm for active learning and scientific exploration, and improves their analytical and problem-solving abilities.

Key words: Biochemistry, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), BOPPPS teaching model
