Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: With the development of technology, anatomy teaching methods are also updated. In this direction,
different methods are applied in practical courses. It is foreseen that anatomy lessons will be more
useful and laboratory lessons will be active and efficient. Transferring their thoughts and experiences
positively or negatively during the education process can motivate the student. We aim to evaluate the
thoughts and suggestions of the students with the survey study.
Material and Methods: A study was conducted for the practical anatomy education of Ordu University
Faculty of Medicine Term II students during the 2022-2023 academic year. A questionnaire study was organised
to learn the student's perspective on the practice. A total of 12 questions were asked in the questionnaire.
One of these questions was open-ended and the others were multiple choice questions. Except for the
open-ended question, the other questions had to be answered. The survey questions were prepared from
Google Forms application. The questionnaire prepared in this application was delivered to the students via
a link on the social platform.
Results: In the questionnaire, students were asked the question 'Which of the auxiliary resources do you
mostly use?' The rate of tablet use was high in both genders. The expected frequency for male students to
answer 'Textbook' in this question is 1,7. There was no difference between the answers given to this ques-tion
in the whole population (p>0,05). In the questionnaire, the students were asked the question 'Do you
find the question-answer (mini-exam) technique useful while teaching the laboratory course?' The expected
frequency of 'yes' answer is 12,8. There is no difference between the answers given to the this question in
the whole population (p>0,05).
Conclusion: In conclusion, in this study, students were asked multidimensional questions related to the
anatomy course. Positive and negative answers were received and evaluated. According to the results of
the study, the inclusion of technology in every stage of the course shows that the anatomy course can be
taught more efficiently.
