Abstract

Objective: To compare module-based versus conventional lectures for undergraduate teaching in pediatrics.

Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted among phase III part II MBBS students during their pediatric posting at a tertiary care teaching center in Southern India. Fifty students each in the experimental and control group were taught using module-based and conventional lectures, respectively. The learning outcome was evaluated by pre-, and post-test scores and analyzed by 'paired t test', 'unpaired t test' and 'repeated measure ANOVA'. Perception was assessed using five-point Likert scale.

Results: The gain of marks for module-based teaching was statistically significant compared to conventional lecture (P < 0.001). Regarding perception, 72% of students 'strongly agreed' (40%) and 'agreed' (32%) to the different characteristics of modular teaching whereas in conventional lecture, 34% were neutral, 32% disagreed, and 12% strongly disagreed.

Conclusion: The knowledge outcome and perception level in module-based teaching are superior to that of conventional lectures.

小儿科本科教学中模块式教学与传统课堂教学的准实验研究。

目的：比较单元教学法与常规教学法在儿科本科教学中的应用。方法：这项准实验研究是在印度南部三级护理教学中心的第三期第二部分MBBS学生中进行的。实验组和对照组各有50名学生，分别采用模块授课和传统授课方式。学习效果通过测试前和测试后的分数进行评估，并通过“配对t检验”、“非配对t检验”和“重复测量方差分析”进行分析。知觉采用李克特五点量表进行评估。结果：模块式教学与常规授课相比，获得的分数有统计学意义(P)。结论：模块式教学的知识产出和感知水平均优于常规授课。

期刊介绍： The general objective of Indian Pediatrics is "To promote the science and practice of Pediatrics." An important guiding principle has been the simultaneous need to inform, educate and entertain the target audience. The specific key objectives are: -To publish original, relevant, well researched peer reviewed articles on issues related to child health. -To provide continuing education to support informed clinical decisions and research. -To foster responsible and balanced debate on controversial issues that affect child health, including non-clinical areas such as medical education, ethics, law, environment and economics. -To achieve the highest level of ethical medical journalism and to produce a publication that is timely, credible and enjoyable to read.
