| description | Preclinical science students lack the understanding of complex structures such as the central nervous system as they lack firm understanding of its basic anatomical structure. As brainstem anatomy is essential to the function of the central nervous system, a weak grasp of its basic structure stands as a barrier when students delve into more complex matters such as neurophysiology and neuropathology. The aim of this teaching and learning method is to ease and improve students understanding of the brainstem, its relations with
surrounding structures as well as the anatomical origin of the
cranial nerves. This method is unique as it incorporates
sculpting and modelling into a modern learning environment as
well as developing students fine motor skills alongside visualspatial cognitive abilities. This method allows creativity,
imagination and fun into the learning environment without
neglecting the main aim of understanding anatomical
structures. Clay modelling and sculpting has tremendously
impacted student understanding towards the focused structure
as it lifts 2D images from textbooks into handmade 3D models.
By studying 2D diagrams, and making 3D models, students have
a better appreciation and understanding towards complex
anatomical structures as they are required to study deep
structures first before building towards superficial structures.
After constructing the brainstem model, students find it easier
to identify structures of the brainstem as well as its relation
towards other structures. This method stands as a precursor
towards better anatomy teaching and learning resources and
will benefit anatomy students worldwide ranging from primary
to tertiary education |
