Abstract

Purpose

Sectional anatomy knowledge is essential for a wide spectrum of health professionals and is extensively applied to their everyday practice. We performed a scoping review to find which are the most effective methods of teaching sectional anatomy.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library to detect articles which investigated the effectiveness of sectional anatomy education methods, based on test scores. From each included paper, we extracted: author(s), number of participants, the anatomical region or regions, the method or methods of sectional anatomy education and the outcomes concerning only the acquisition of sectional anatomy knowledge.

Results

Seven studies were included. There were four articles, which involved combined teaching approaches, and three articles, which did not comprise such approaches. In all studies which evaluated the effectiveness of a combination of teaching methods (comprising three-dimensional digital or physical tools) compared to cross-sections only, the anatomy test scores were significantly higher in the first case. The students’ interaction with the educational material significantly enhanced the effectiveness of the implemented methods.

Conclusions

The multimodal teaching of sectional anatomy, especially involving three-dimensional methods, both digital and physical, was more effective than teaching based only on cross-sections. The students’ interaction with the educational material improved the effectiveness of the teaching, which they received. These outcomes may stimulate anatomy teachers to enhance sectional anatomy education and encourage researchers to shed more light on the investigation of the optimal teaching strategies.

哪些是最有效的剖面解剖教学方法？范围综述

目的截面解剖学知识对于各类卫生专业人员来说都是必不可少的，并广泛应用于他们的日常实践中。方法我们检索了 PubMed、Scopus 和 Cochrane 图书馆，以检测根据测试分数调查断面解剖教育方法有效性的文章。我们从每篇收录的论文中提取了：作者、参与者人数、解剖区域、剖面解剖教育方法以及仅与获得剖面解剖知识有关的结果。其中四篇文章涉及综合教学方法，三篇文章不包括此类方法。在所有评估组合教学法（包括三维数字或物理工具）与仅截面教学法效果的研究中，前者的解剖测试成绩明显高于后者。学生与教学材料的互动大大提高了所实施方法的有效性。结论剖面解剖学的多模式教学，特别是涉及数字和物理的三维方法，比仅基于截面的教学更有效。学生与教材的互动提高了他们所接受的教学效果。这些结果可能会激励解剖学教师加强断面解剖学教学，并鼓励研究人员对最佳教学策略的研究做出更多贡献。
