Although real skulls are considered the gold standard, their use is limited by fragility, cost, ethical considerations, and restricted availability. Commercial plastic models are durable and accessible but are typically derived from standardized specimens and therefore lack anatomical variability, pathological features, and the precision required for professional education and clinical practice. This study aimed to establish and validate a workflow for producing anatomically accurate, durable, customizable, and cost-effective 3D-printed human skulls that represent clinically relevant anatomical diversity. Using CT data, one female and one male cadaveric head were selected to ensure sex-specific representation. The specimens underwent specialized anatomical preparation to optimize CT image acquisition and 3D reconstruction quality. Segmented CT datasets were converted into digital skull models and fabricated using a custom blend of commercially available printing materials, enabling accurate reproduction of fine structures and individual variation. Educational relevance was explored through a structured questionnaire completed by dentistry students (n = 30), evaluating perceived anatomical realism and the value of anatomical diversity for learning. The workflow enabled rapid and flexible production of high-fidelity skulls using accessible resources. Compared with commercial models, the custom prints preserved intricate anatomical detail and authentically depicted sex-specific traits, individual variation, and pathology. Students emphasized the educational value of incorporating anatomical diversity into training. Custom 3D-printed skulls provide a practical enhancement to existing teaching resources. The workflow is readily extensible to additional datasets, allowing progressive expansion of anatomical diversity in anatomy education.</p>","PeriodicalId":124,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Sciences Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149056725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these, active learning methodologies, such as gamified-based learning, have emerged as approaches designed to foster engagement, enhance interactivity, and support students' learning process. This study explores the implementation of a gamified learning activity within a Human Anatomy Museum, leveraging its rich collection of anatomical specimens to create a dynamic educational experience. The study included first-year undergraduate health sciences students enrolled in systemic morphofunctional sciences courses. All students participated in expository lectures and an initial museum visit. A subset of students later returned to the museum for a gamified session focused on cardiorespiratory anatomy. Data collected from the groups included sociodemographic profiles, pre- and post-test knowledge assessments, and a perception questionnaire. Dental students also completed the late post-test. The results showed improvements in the post-test in both groups compared to the pre-test. Post-test scores were comparable between the gamified and control groups, indicating no additional effect of the intervention on test performance. Students who engaged in the gamified activity reported high levels of perceived usefulness, engagement, and enjoyment. Gamified strategies, when thoughtfully integrated into museum-based learning environments, hold promise as an innovative pedagogical tool in undergraduate health science curricula.</p>","PeriodicalId":124,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Sciences Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149056654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the methodology of existing studies is limited to investigating if 3DPMs work but fail to provide insights into why and how they work. This study investigated behaviors of a cohort of 80 first-year dental students in a learning environment assisted by 3DPMs and generated design principles for 3DPMs integration in the classrooms. To observe students' behaviors and determine their achievement of the learning outcomes, a list of tasks and their respective hypothetical learning trajectories (HLTs) were developed. The HLTs were compared with the actual learning trajectories (ALTs) based on students' work, observers' notes, video recordings of the classroom and focus group interviews. Overall, there is a gradual decrease in alignment for HLTs and ALTs as the cognitive level of the task goes up. Notably, students were more likely to apply their knowledge on human prosections having learned with 3DPMs, as shown by the video creation task. The study offered several implications for the design and delivery of modern undergraduate anatomy curricula. Focus group analysis revealed that the design of the 3DPMs played a role in increasing perceived confidence, assisting quicker knowledge acquisition, and increasing students' motivation. 3DPMs play a supportive and transitional role, particularly in early stages of students' learning, in motivating them to transfer knowledge to real human prosections.</p>","PeriodicalId":124,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Sciences Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148981639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies published between January 1, 2022, and August 5, 2025, were identified using seven databases. Titles and abstracts were screened against eligibility criteria, which included testing LLM performance on text-based MCQs in English. Extracted data included accuracy rates (correct responses/total questions) and study characteristics. A random-effects proportional meta-analysis was used to calculate the pooled accuracy of LLM versions across studies, and a meta-regression tested the effects of study characteristics on accuracy.
