Comparison of Video Based Learning and Lecture Based Learning in Last Year Medical Faculty Students

Abstract

Background: Medical education is becoming more challenging for educators with increasing information, increasing number of students and less time allocated to education. Online education before graduation its usability in education has been brought up. For this purpose, this study is planned in order to compare the education with the trainer over the vidoe in General Surgery education. Matherial and Method: The students of Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine, Period VI were included in the study. The trainings to be given to the students during the internship have already been specified in the program. Educational visual videos have been prepared. Study was carried out on the subjects of suturing techniques and thyroid examination. Half of the students were trained by the instructor and the other half via video. Practical exam related to these courses was applied to both groups. The students were asked in terms of self-confidence, competence and anxiety in applications. Results: A total of 42 students were included in the study. 84% of the students participating in the study succeeded in suturing techniques and 100% in thyroid examination. In the thyroid examination, the average score was 88 in the video group, and the average score in the training group was 90 with the instructor. When we compare the thyroid physical examination; there was a significant difference between the prelecture and postlecture results of the both groups (P=0.001). There was no significant difference in knot tying and examination results between the two groups. Student felt similar confindent and excitment in both groups. Conclusion: The absence of a significant difference between video or instructor training in terms of achieving learning objectives has shown that video-based training can be successfully applied on certain topics. Practical practice and patient training should still be part of student training.
