Abstract

Introduction: A lecture is the most widely used teaching method. Learning by lecture is a passive practice. Many pioneering techniques have been used to motivate students to have active attitude toward learning. In our method we are using museum as an innovative teaching-learning method.

Material and Method: 96 undergraduate students were evaluated by dividing into 2 groups. Group 1 (48 students) was taught through the traditional blackboard-chalk and Power Point presentation method and Group 2 (48 students) was sent to the Paediatric Museum for the same period of time. The knowledge and understanding of the subject was then assessed through a test at the end of the 1 month posting. After both the groups were taught by both methods of teaching, feedback was taken.

Result: Most of the students accepted that the newer, innovative method of teaching was more interesting and appealing to them. Group 1 scored 68% average and in that group 54% students got above 50%. While the average of Group 2 was 84% and 68 % scored a over 50% marks. The feedback showed that 99% of the students agreed or strongly agreed that learning and clearing their concepts was easier after visiting museum. Students also strongly agreed that this method was time saving and helped them in memory retention.

Conclusion: Students who had attended the museum had a better understanding of the Paediatric subject and could reproduce the knowledge gained by them in a better way as compared to the students taught through the traditional method.
