Techniques of Teaching Anatomy
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
About few decades back before the advent of audiovisual aids (a-v aids), the teachers of Anatomy have taught this subject only with chalk and blackboard. The teachers were very expert in displaying the diagrams of many important illustrations. However, recently with the advent of audiovisual aids, this old effort of making diagrams is gradually replaced by audiovisual aids, hence hampering the skill. Merits of audiovisual aids are that realistic pictures can be projected & good number of images within a short time could be covered. However quality and understanding of meaning of the images is very superficial. Student often thinks, let the class go off fast and they often doze off. Therefore with the comments from undergraduate students and faculty of the institute, there should be combination of both chalk and blackboard with audiovisual techniques. The present authors felt that this old method of teaching should go side by side with Audio visual aids and should make it compulsory as a syllabus for postgraduate course.
