Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Didactic lecture is commonly used teaching technique addressing to large group but it is kind of passive method. Group discussion is supposed to be an effective tool for all round development of medical student. In this study one group of 1stMBBS students were subjected to didactic lecture and second group was exposed to group discussion on same topic. Test was conducted on both groups of students and the results were analyzed statistically. Mean score for group I (didacticlecture) was 10.367 and for group II (group discussion) was 14.467. Statistical analysis is done using unpaired t-test. Difference between two groups was found to be statistically significant (P value less that 0.05). It is observed that group discussion method is more effective method of teaching learning than didactic lecture.
