Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 31
Abstract
BACKGROUND E-learning is a system of learning where the content is delivered electronically. E-learning involves using computers or IT for delivery of at least some part of the content. The objectives of the study were1. To assess the difference in knowledge of medical students after conventional bed side teaching vs e learning method of ophthalmic case demonstration. 2. To assess the differences in perception of medical students about two teaching methodologies. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was a comparative study conducted among 60 seventh semester MBBS students posted in Dept. of Ophthalmology at Jubilee Mission Medical College for a period of 2 months (November 2017 to December 2017). They were divided into group A and group B based on their roll numbers. For group A, 6 different ophthalmic cases were demonstrated by conventional bed side method of teaching and for group B, same cases were recorded and demonstrated as photos and videos. They were evaluated using OSCE and questionnaires. RESULTS In our study, after evaluating the OSCE scores using independent two sample- t test / Mann Whitney test, students who attended e-learning had a mean score of 43.23 i.e. 72.05% and conventional learning had a mean score of 42.15 i.e. 70.25% which is significant statistically (p value > 0.005). CONCLUSION After evaluation of OSCE marks, students who were demonstrated with e-learning method fared better than conventional learning methods. Statistical analysis showed a significant P value. Hence it can be concluded that e-learning method is preferably better than conventional learning.
