ABSTRACT:
Background: Video clips used during lectures reinforce the information taught verbally thus improving the overall learning experience of students. The present study has been done to compare the immediate and long term post test MCQ scores of students taught Gross Anatomy using lectures with videos and without videos.
Material and methods: One forty four 1st year MBBS students –were divided into two groups A & B (72 in each group) by Random Sampling. Topic 1(Venous drainage of lower limb), was chosen and Group A was exposed to lectures with videos and Group B to lectures without videos. An immediate post test on venous drainage of lower limb was done comprising of 10 MCQ. After Cross over, Topic 2 (Knee Joint) was chosen and Group A was exposed to lectures without videos and Group B to lectures with videos. An immediate post test on knee joint was done comprising of 10 MCQ. After 1 month, to test the long term retention of knowledge gained, post test was given for both the topics which comprised of the same set of MCQ.
Results: The Mean± SD for the immediate post test MCQ scores were 6.15±1.87 (Group A) & 4.85±2.30 (Group B) for Topic1, 2.26±1.25 (Group A) & 4.04±1.76 (Group B) for Topic 2. The long term post test MCQ scores were 3.97±1.82 (Group A) & 2.74±1.74 (Group B) for Topic 1, 1.72±0.91 (Group A) & 2.33±1.28 (Group B) for Topic 2.
Conclusion: Lectures with videos are more effective when compared to lectures alone as the knowledge gained and retained by the students in Anatomy was better when traditional lectures are combined with videos.
Key words: Anatomy, Lectures, Videos.
