Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The introduction of multimedia technology into teaching has brought important changes in teaching. This study seeks to evaluate whether the use of a structured teaching module on gross and applied anatomy of the head neck and brain improves students' understanding and performance. This study compares the results obtained in the scores of an objective test, conducted for the 1st MBBS students. All the students were taught gross and applied Anatomy as per the conventional teaching pattern. After conclusion of the curriculum, a pre test was conducted to assess the students understanding of the subject. The students were then divided into two groups by simple random sampling. Study Group were exposed to the prepared software. Control Group were not exposed to the new methodology, their revision was conducted by traditional methods and thus acted as controls. A post-test was conducted to assess the enhancement of subject understanding by the students. Comparison of the results and statistical evaluation revealed that students receiving prepared software input performed slightly better. It highlighted the importance of the new teaching material and its use both as a teaching aid as well as a self learning module. In conclusion, it was found that the prepared software is an important teaching/learning module on gross and applied anatomy of the head and neck region.
