Abstract
This study evaluates the impact of case-based learning (CBL) on undergraduate medical students' learning in ENT and compares its effectiveness to didactic lectures, alongside assessing perceptions from students and faculty.The primary goals are to assess learning outcomes from CBL versus didactic lectures and gather perceptions on these teaching methods. Conducted over five months with 100 pre-final year MBBS students at Govt Medical College, Vidisha, the study involved a prospective educational intervention design. Students alternated between CBL and didactic lectures for two topics, with knowledge assessed through pre- and post-tests and perceptions collected via surveys. Results Initial knowledge scores were comparable (p > 0.05). Post-intervention, both groups showed significant improvements (p < 0.05), with the CBL group outperforming the didactic group (p < 0.05). Notably, 98% of students felt CBL enhanced retention, and 96% believed it improved understanding and problem-solving. Faculty favored CBL as a more effective teaching method. CBL promotes deeper learning and self-directed study in medical education. The favorable feedback from students and faculty supports integrating CBL with traditional lectures to enhance educational outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery was founded as Indian Journal of Otolaryngology in 1949 as a scientific Journal published by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and was later rechristened as IJOHNS to incorporate the changes and progress.
IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015. The Journal published quarterly accepts articles in general Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and various subspecialities such as Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and Phonosurgery, Neurotology, Head and Neck Surgery etc.
The Journal acts as a window to showcase and project the clinical and research work done by Otolaryngologists community in India and around the world. It is a continued source of useful clinical information with peer review by eminent Otolaryngologists of repute in their respective fields. The Journal accepts articles pertaining to clinical reports, Clinical studies, Research articles in basic and applied Otolaryngology, short Communications, Clinical records reporting unusual presentations or lesions and new surgical techniques. The journal acts as a catalyst and mirrors the Indian Otolaryngologist’s active interests and pursuits. The Journal also invites articles from senior and experienced authors on interesting topics in Otolaryngology and allied sciences from all over the world.
The print version is distributed free to about 4000 members of Association of Otolaryngologists of India and the e-Journal shortly going to make its appearance on the Springer Board can be accessed by all the members.
Association of Otolaryngologists of India and M/s Springer India group have come together to co-publish IJOHNS from January 2007 and this bondage is going to provide an impetus to the Journal in terms of international presence and global exposure.
