ABSTRACT
Introduction: Anatomy is one of the oldest basic medical sciences, it is considered core to medicine as well as some associated and complementary health disciplines. Anatomy teachers continually look for implementing effective teaching and learning techniques that give the students a more interesting and advantageous experience in the course. The aim of the study is to improve the way of teaching anatomy with the help of suggestions from the medical and paramedical students itself through a set of questionnaires created by the department of anatomy in Autonomous State Medical College, Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Effective feedback provides comprehensive data on student performance and could be linked to student self-esteem and motivation.
Methods and materials: This study was done at Autonomous State Medical College, Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh which involved 100 MBBS 1st year students. The study involved both qualitative and quantitative methods. Quantitative data was received with the help of some sets of questionnaires. Qualitative evaluation was conducted through a group discussion with the students as well as the faculty members of department of anatomy.
Result and conclusion: 100% of the students agreed that it was a good step taken by the department to improve the teaching session. 94.3% of the students were of the view that the session helped them to identify their weakness and wanted this type of session to be conducted more.
Key words: Feedback, Anatomy Sessions, Questionnaires.
