Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Pharmacology traditionally, has focused more on factual information, with little or no emphasis on clinical and applied aspects. Use of modern educational technology to teach the undergraduate students are also encouraged by the MCI guidelines. Traditionally, chalk and board method was used for lecture delivery but with innovation in information technology, teachers are now equipped with modern methods such as power point presentations for teaching.(4) It is accepted that the feedback from students serves as an effective tool in developing teaching methodology and evaluation methods in undergraduate teaching.(6) The present study is a step towards achieving this tool by assessing the student's attitude, perception and feedback on teaching-learning methodology and evaluation methods in pharmacology. In this study 64.98 % students opined that lectures were most interesting. The remaining students 23.61 % and 13.26 % opined that Clinical (patient related) pharmacology and audio-visual (computer/projector) aided lecture were more interesting. Bilateral communication is to be encouraged between students and teacher where students tend to learn or understand in a relaxed environment, even lectures can be useful method of teaching. Use of LCD projection was preferred by students as it provides many elaborative diagrams, figures or certain topics can be illustrated by screening small videos like demonstrating action of drugs on receptor. Pharmacology teaching has to focus on various approaches of teaching, alliance of different teaching methods like lectures, tutorials, and PBL sessions should be embraced for teaching different topics.
