Abstract

Background: Medical education is a powerful tool for building a knowledge based society. Teaching should be a two way process involving active participation from students as well. Medical Physiology is a subject which has to be understood and includes theory classes as well as practical demonstration in the first MBBS. It is very essential to create interest and seek attention of the students during the classes be it theory or practical. Earlier, classes were only taken using blackboard. Then gradually, OHP were being used along with blackboard. Now in 21st century with the use of powerpoint (PPT) along with black board for theory as well as practical creates interest and makes the subject easier to understand for the students. Hence the present study is conducted to analyze the student centred teaching and learning approach in theory classes and practical demonstrations.

Objective: To understand the preference of teaching methods by the students and to make the learning easier.

Material and Methods: The study was conducted in Department of physiology, KBNIMS, Gulbarga after obtaining the ethical clearance from IEC committee. The study included 100 students of first year MBBS. Questionnaires were given to the students that included 12 questions with multiple choice options.

Results: Of the 100 students, 44% students favored power point presentation along with blackboard discussion, 40% preferred PPT, and only 3% preferred OHP presentation.

Conclusion: Most students prefer PPT along with blackboard. Using this feedback, the student centred teaching and learning approach, the understanding of physiology can be made more interesting and easier.
