It was observed that the students attending the practicals in hematology laboratory find difficulty in understanding the concept and topic with usual lectures and demonstration practices.
The efficacy of regular lecture delivery system was challenged with the introduction of audiovisual aids along with lecture. This led us to the present study in which the efficacy of lecture was determined by scoring performance of students on the basis of pre-designed test evaluated on basis of MCQ and VIVA exam which was taken after the lectures with and without audiovisual aids.
The study revealed significant (p<.005) increase in understanding and performance of the students who attended practicals along with audio-visual aids.
The students had better understanding towards the identification of various cells present in a smear of differential count. When we asked the students for feedback, 99% students of study group were satisfied and enjoyed this new way of learning.
