Background: Transfer of knowledge from teachers to students traditionally occurs in one direction using blackboards, overhead projectors, power-point presentations and lectures. It has many disadvantages. The main challenge in medical education is to teach surgical skills. For the learning of critical interventions, simulation-based training is structured so that the acquisition of new skills does not harm patients. Thus, the objective of this study was to enhance and improve procedural skills of resident doctors of Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of Government Medical College, Miraj using cadaver simulation in doing abdominal hysterectomy.Methods: Second year resident doctors from Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of GMC, Miraj who had completed their first year successfully in terms of basic orientation regarding surgical procedures were taken for study purpose. They were divided in two groups randomly. The first group underwent conventional method of teaching to learn the abdominal hysterectomy procedure and underwent feedback from them regarding the conventional teaching learning method. Then they were allowed to perform the procedure on a live patient and their performance of procedural skill was assessed by DOPS. (Direct observation of procedural skills). The second group underwent innovative method of use of cadaver simulation for the abdominal hysterectomy procedure and feedback on the same. They were allowed to perform the procedure on a live patient and their performance of procedural skill was assessed by DOPS. (Direct observation of procedural skills). All data was collected, analysed and processed to study the outcome of research project.Results: In group B, all resident were fully satisfied with newer method of teaching and learning for abdominal hysterectomy as surgical procedure. As far as, the advantages and disadvantages of teaching and learning are concerned, all residents pointed out large number of disadvantages in the conventional method. Evaluation of the surgical procedural skill was done by DOPS by senior faculty members of the department as per the questionnaire which showed good performance from group B.Conclusions: The benefit of simulation based medical education (SBME) is that it offers both learners and patients a safe environment for practice and error. In addition, SBME can provide a learning cycle of debriefing and feedback for learners as well as assessment and certification for procedures and competency.

We sought to assess the impact of procedural skills simulation training on residents’ competence in performing critical resuscitation skills. Our study was a prospective, cross-sectional study of residents from three residency training programs (Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine) at the University of Calgary. Participants completed a survey measuring competence in the performance of the procedural skills required to manage hemodynamic instability. The study intervention was an 8 hour simulation based training program focused on resuscitation procedure psychomotor skill acquisition. Competence was criterion validated at the Right Internal Jugular Central Venous Catheter Insertion station by an expert observer using a standardized checklist (Observed Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) format). At the completion of the simulation course participants repeated the self-assessment survey. Descriptive Statistics, Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Paired Sample t-test statistical tools were applied to the analyze the data. Thirty-five of 37 residents (9 FRCPC Emergency Medicine, 4 CCFP-Emergency Medicine, 17 CCFP, and 5 Internal Medicine) completed both survey instruments and the eight hour course. Seventy-two percent of participants were PGY-1 or 2. Mean age was 30.7 years of age. Cronbach’s alpha for the survey instrument was 0.944. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient was 0.69 (p < 0.001) for relationship between Expert Assessment and Self-Assessment. The mean improvement in competence score pre- to post-intervention was 6.77 (p < 0.01, 95% CI 5.23-8.32). Residents from a variety of training programs (Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in competence with critical resuscitation procedural skills following an intensive simulation based training program. Self-assessment of competence was validated using correlation data based on expert assessments. Dawson S. Procedural simulation: a primer. J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2006; 17(2.1):205-13.

Aim And Objective: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented disruption in medical education and healthcare systems worldwide. In India, responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in medical education resulted in closures of medical colleges and adoption of online teaching-learning methods, which is challenging for both faculty and students. Rising concerns among students urged to evaluate strength and weakness of ongoing online teaching and learning methods. The objective of the study was to nd out the perceptions of students regarding E-learning during lockdown period of COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted at IPGME & R Kolkata. A sample size of 600 was calculated. MBBS students of all levels participated in this study. A Google questionnaire was developed and was validated by Medical education unit of the college. The Google questionnaire was mailed to the students. The data was transferred to excel sheet and analysis was done on various parameters to derive descriptive statistics between classroom teaching and online teaching Results: Total 600responses were received. 340 (56.7%) males and 260(43.3%) females participated in the study. 41.7% students use mobile phones as their gadgets for E- learning and 33.3% use laptops followed by desktop (16.7%) and tablet (8.3%) Overall only 10 % students preferred to use only E- learning. 50% students preferred classical didactic learning. And 40% preferred a combination of classical ofine and E - learning as useful method of learning. Conclusions: Students did not prefer E- learning over classroom learning. They admit the usefulness of E -learning. But, classroom learning with rational use of E -learning is preferred by the students.

The Ideal

Approaches to teaching and learning keep on changing continuously as evidenced in the development of sub-disciplines dealing with education within the discipline, for example, medical education. This paper brings in another perspective in the search for the ideal teaching and learning approaches. Starting from the Qur’an and the Sunnah, this paper identifies about 20 different aspects of teaching and learning found in these two Islamic sources. These aspects could be grouped into four categories: pre-learning phase and setting the context; personality qualities needed for good teaching and learning relationship; teaching approaches; and lastly, approaches for enhancing the learning process. The paper demonstrates the great potential of the Qur’an and Sunnah for informing on the effective ways for teaching and learning.

This study was undertaken to assess the needs/problems of students of nursing regarding facilitation as a teaching/learning method. Facilitation as a teaching and learning strategy was uncommon and innovative in nature and presented a challenge to the students as it was a new way of learning. Focus group interviews were conducted. The sample study consisted of eight (8) groups of learners from four universities engaged in this curriculum. To answer the research question a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive design was used and the students were selected purposively. Data analysis using transcribed focus interviews, was based on the combined approaches of Tesch (1990) in Cresswell (1994:153-155) and the basic steps of Giorgi (1970) as quoted by Ornery (1983:49-63). The themes identified were about the experiences of the facilitation process and problems with the facilitators. All the students experienced the facilitation of learning negatively in the beginning but became more positive later when they adapted to this method of learning.

Nowadays, we live in a digital age and New Normal of COVID-19. There is a massive migration of face-to-face teaching learning method to online or mobil- teaching and learning. It is required to do a physical distancing among school members to stop the spreading of the COVID-19. Mobile-learning is a must to keep education process continue while we remain to stay at home. The successful of mobile teaching and learning process depends on several aspects, one of them is students’ self-efficacy.  Students’ self-efficacy determines how hard students try to accomplish the task given and to the extent students commit taking  part in the mobile learning process during this pandemic COVID-19. It also determines to what extent students want to challenge themselves. To sum up, self-efficacy plays a crucial role in students’ achievement using mobile-learning method during this pandemic era. There is a significant relationship between feedback and self-efficacy. Therefore, educationalist is suggested to provide mobile-learning feedback to enhance students’ self-efficacy to keep the students commit to taking part in the teaching-learning process. An elaborated feedback affected students’ self-efficacy more although it is only a video feedback.
