| description | Introduction: Learning is a complex and multifaceted
phenomenon. Research findings suggest that a deep, integrated
understanding of the basic sciences is important for solving
clinically relevant tasks. Evidence suggests that students
today may be more engaged and learn better when there are
different teaching approaches incorporated into the educational
environment. Crossword Puzzle (CWP) is a form of active
learning which is helpful to review and summarise concepts.
Mind Map (MM) is a powerful graphic technique that can be
applied to improve learning and clearer thinking. E-learning is
an innovative modern technology which can support and enrich
medical education.
Aim: To assess the perceptions of students regarding newer
teaching methods like CWPs, MMs and online resources in
medical education.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional study
conducted in the Department of Pathology for 2nd year Medical,
Physiotherapy and Nursing students for a period of one year
from October 2018 to September 2019. A total of 206 students
participated in the study, of which 90 were MBBS students, 30
were Physiotherapy students and 86 were Nursing students.
Newer teaching methods like CWPs and MMs were introduced
in the classes. A feedback form was given at the end of the class
and their responses were collected regarding newer methods.
Perceptions of students regarding newer teaching methods
were represented using descriptive statistics in frequencies
and percentages.
Results: Female students were more compared to male
students across all the branches with 63.3% female students in
MBBS, 80% in Physiotherapy and 82.6% in Nursing. 84.4% of
MBBS students, 86.7% of Physiotherapy students and 97.7%
of nursing students were interested in filling CWPs. 94.4% of
MBBS students, 93.3% of Physiotherapy students and 100%
of nursing students opined that MMs help in memory retention.
93.3% of MBBS students, 96.7% of Physiotherapy students and
91.9% of nursing students wanted newer teaching methods to
be part of the curriculum.
Conclusion: Educators need to constantly change their teaching
methods in order to hold the attention of students. CWP’s and
MM’s created interest among the students in learning subject.
CWPs enhanced group interaction among peers whereas MMs
helped in retaining the key points and also bringing out the
creative talent. |
