To investigate and analyse the real effectiveness of using the stepped teaching method in teaching upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in children, the data of students who participated in paediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy training in our hospital between May 2022 and May 2023 were compiled and screened by retrospective analysis. 46 students were identified and divided into a control group of 23 students/group and an experimental group by machine grouping. The teaching methods were then collated and the relevant survey data were compiled to compare the teaching outcomes of the two groups under the differences in teaching methods.The experimental group had higher assessment scores and satisfaction with teaching than the control group (p<0.05). The introduction and application of the stepped teaching method in the teaching of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in children can improve the practical operation level of students, reduce operational errors and improve learning performance.
