Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 13
Abstract
BACKGROUND With the growing awareness of the importance of teaching & learning in universities & collages and the need to move towards evidence-based teaching it behoves the professions to re-examine their educational research methodology. While the what, how & why of student learning has become more explicit, the professions still struggle to find valid methods of evaluating the explosion of new innovation in teaching / learning strategies. This study discusses the problems inherent in applying traditional experimental design techniques to advances in educational practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS A short questionnaire was prepared and was handed out to the 150 first year MBBS students at Konaseema Institute of Medical Sciences, Amalapuram at the end of anatomy theory class towards the end of their first year curriculum. They were asked to fill it up without disclosing their name and submit it back. This was done after taking theory classes (10 theory classes as allotted by the Head of the Department in accordance with the existing department curriculum) for one month. RESULTS In our present study, Black board and chalk still remains the favourite mode of teaching for the students. However, power point slides are the best tool as far as showing anatomy diagrams are concerned because they are not time taking and are easy to understand. CONCLUSION A good and judicious mixture of all the available Teaching and learning aids should be made to make the class more interesting so the students are able to grasp and understand the subject in a better way.
