Use of carefully structured image improves attention, cognitionand reflection. Aim: To facilitate learning in FMT by image based interactive teaching.
To obtain student’s perception after introduce and evaluation of effectiveness of image based interactive teaching learning method.
Prospective, interventional and cross over study was conductedover 6 months period on 144 second MBBS students of GAIMS. Pre Sensitization of session of one hour was conducted. Participants were randomized into two groups - A (n = 73) and B (n = 71). Two topics were taught by image based and none imaged based TLM with Crossover. Assessment was done by pre validated 10 MCQs test after each topic. Data were statically analysed. Participant feedback was taken in Google form by using questioners based on Liker’s scale.
Mean ± SD of imaged based TLM was higher (7.53 ± 1.35) than nonimage based TLM (5.94 ± 1.80) on Abrasion. Mean ± SD of imaged based TLM was higher (6.15 ± 1.80) than non image based TLM (4.77 ± 1.70) on Contusion. P value was statically highly significant on image based TLM. Student’s feedback most of the students agreed with imaged based TLM.
Image based TLM is found to be useful learning tool for FMT. Ithastens understanding of complex components of FMT in shorter period of time than non-image based teaching.
