Effective teaching plays very significant role in acquiring knowledge with long term impact and remembrance. In teaching process many times we focus on factual recall rather than reasoning skills or understanding something better where learners are not actively involved. In this study students of 3rd phase BAMS were taught Aamottpatti Siddhant by Traditional Method (Tree Diagram) versus Audio-Visual Method. Student were familiar of traditional method of teaching however after introducing audio visual method, interest in lecture was increased in students. Audio visual method can be associated with the traditional type of teaching method. Teaching by Audio visual method is interesting to student as well as teachers.

"Moral case deliberation is regularly used as a teaching method at our medical school. Besides we facilitate moral case deliberation on the ward in our hospital. In both instances, our assumption is that practicing moral case deliberation will assist our (future) healthcare professionals to cultivate the virtue of practical wisdom. But, is this assumption, right? The answer to this question requires both empirical research and conceptual analysis. This paper focuses on the latter. The claim defended is that we can elucidate the relation between moral case deliberation and practical wisdom through an analysis of so called morisprudence. We start with discussing two divergent but related interpretations of morisprudence: one introduced by Toulmin and Jonsen, related to casuistry, and one related to a Dutch interpretation with a strong relation to moral case deliberation. The combination of the both interpretations shed new light on the conceptual connections between cultivating prudence (practical wisdom) and moral case deliberation, but it also provides new insights into the individual and collective dimensions of practical wisdom, of character formation within organizational contexts. Finally, it may have consequences for how moral case deliberation should actually be employed to teach practical wisdom. "

This study evaluates how medical students rate the different types of teaching materials and methods available as well as possible gender-specific differences in the use of such materials. In this descriptive, cross-sectional study a questionnaire with short, one-dimensional questions with a 4-step Likert scale was developed by a presurvey within 493 students (4th year) at a University Medical School (January-December 2015). The anonymous survey was performed from July 2016 to February 2017 with 252 students within an orthopaedic surgery course at University Medical School. After exclusion of (1) nonnative speakers and (2) incomplete forms, 233 samples were included. Practical education was regarded as the most important (n=160/68.7%) teaching method followed by Internet research (n=147/63.1%) as the most important teaching material, while traditional frontal teaching (n=19/8.2%) and e-books (n=11/4.7%) ranked last. The evaluation of gender-specific differences in the use of teaching materials showed that female students prefer to highlight text (p<0.0001) as well as a trend to Internet research (p=0.053) and small-group teaching (p=0.057). Despite some gender-specific differences, traditional learning methods retain their importance besides new learning possibilities such as Internet research.

Abstract Background International Inter-medical School Physiology Quiz (IMSPQ) is a global event that purportedly engages students in team work, critical thinking and active learning of physiology. Team-based learning (TBL) is an interactive analytic teaching approach and has been used extensively in medical education. However, there is little evidence of its use in preparing for IMSPQ. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether a TBL approach is effective to prepare for the written section of IMSPQ. Methods Five students from Grade 2014 majoring in Clinical Medicine, were selected, based on academic performance in physiology and English, to be taught in a TBL physiology course to prepare for the written section of 14th IMSPQ. Results In 2016, this TBL teaching method worked well and for the first time the team from Kunming Medical University entered the top forty teams at the written competition of 14th IMSPQ in Yogyakarta. Conclusion TBL method was effective to prepare for the IMSPQ in Kunming Medical University and provided an improved team performance in the written section of 14th IMSPQ.

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate student learning outcomes in a flipped classroom versus a traditional classroom in a podiatric medical school. To date no published reports in podiatric medical schools have used the flipped classroom for the entirety of a medical school course. Methods Students from the class of 2017 completed the Emergency Medicine and Trauma course using traditional classroom lectures, and the class of 2018 used a flipped classroom approach. Each class took two assessments that contained 99 identical questions and completed a postcourse evaluation that contained student comments. A multivariate analysis of covariance was conducted to determine whether student performances were significantly affected by the differences in the teaching method. Student evaluation comments were analyzed using textual data analysis to determine the sentiments that students expressed regarding their exposure to the teaching method. Results The multivariate analysis of covariance results revealed that students scored slightly lower on assessments during the flipped classroom delivery compared with the traditional classroom delivery, when adjusted for Medical College Admission Test scores and grade point average, but not significantly (P = .4340). Similarly, the sentiment analysis of student comments indicated that the average positive sentiment score for the flipped classroom delivery was higher but was not significant (P = .08914). Conclusions The analysis showed there was not a statistically significant change in examination scores based on teaching method. Sentiment analysis revealed that student sentiments were more positive with the flipped classroom group compared with the traditional lecture group, although not statistically significantly.

According to Priyatmojo dan Achmadi (2010), universities need to harmonize learning methods with the development of science and technology. To achieve this harmony, one effort that can be done is the use of the method student center learning (SCL) in learning. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of student learning center methods in Nursing Department of Manado Health Polytechnic. This research is a quantitative study with a type of descriptive study. The research variable is the effectiveness of using the learning method student center learning (SCL). The population in this study were Manado Health Polytechnic Nursing Department students in D3 Class IA and IB who were exposed to the student center learning (SCL) learning method. The subject taking method uses the total sampling method. The effectiveness of using SCL methods was measured using a questionnaire which amounted to 20 statements and then the data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, most of the research subjects 79 (90.8%) argued that the application of student center learning (SCL) in the Health Polytechnic Nursing Department was very effective. The results of this study indicate that the SCL teaching method is very effective in achieving learning objectives. This method not only makes students understand the material but also shapes their character. In addition to shaping the image that learning is fun and not boring, this method also builds the ability of students to actively participate in an activity. It was concluded that the student center learning learning (SCL) method was very effective applied in the Manado Health Polytechnic Department of Nursing. It is recommended that Manado Health Polytechnic institutions be able to provide training to lecturers on SCL learning methods. Keywords: effectiveness, student center learning, Nursing Department

Abstract Background: Arguably storytelling is a recognised teaching method used in different fields such as teaching children, religion, and culture. Its use in medical teaching is apparent, but little is known of how valuable this method is within medical teaching. This study aimed to explore the perceptions stakeholders have of using stories within teaching and learning at Dundee Medical School. We hope to understand how stories are perceived and to consider how educators might optimise their use. Methods: A qualitative approach allowed for the exploration of participants perceptions of storytelling within medical teaching. Purposive sampling was used to sample medical students and educators. Eleven students participated in one of three group semi-structured interviews and five individual semi-structured interviews with educators took place. The data collected was coded and analysed to reveal themes and sub-themes regarding storytelling at Dundee Medical School. Results: Both stakeholder groups sampled highly valued the use of stories and anecdotes within medical teaching. Whilst both suggested the same purposes, types and impact of stories and identified similar barriers to using storytelling such as confidence and experience. Students were more focused on the importance of the relevance, delivery, and context of where a story was being told for stories to be effective, whilst for faculty, their perceptions didn’t involve these themes. Conclusions: The findings from this small study have provided insight into how storytelling is perceived and developed some recommendations for optimising its use within medical education at Dundee Medical School. This highlights the value of this method to educators and exemplifies the important qualities stories can help to foster amongst students, whilst suggesting a possible theory on how to successfully utilise them.
