Flipped classrooms in teaching pharmacology for medical undergraduate students – A comparative study

Background: The new competency-based medical education curriculum envisages the need to adopt newer teaching-learning methods. There is a growing concern about the effective dissemination of knowledge to a large group of students through conventional didactic lectures. Flipped classroom teaching has evolved as an innovative method and is a systematic approach to improving the student learning experience. Aims and Objectives: The present study was undertaken (1) to compare the effectiveness of flipped classroom methods with that of the lecture as a teaching learning method in pharmacology for undergraduate medical students and (2) evaluate the students’ perception of the flipped method. Materials and Methods: This study was done in the Department of Pharmacology in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Kerala after ethics committee approval. Two groups of students enrolled using the convenient sampling method, received three flipped classes and three lectures on the topics after crossover. Feedback was collected using a validated structured questionnaire and a common evaluation after each topic was done with a pre-validated multiple choice questions questionnaire. Results: This study has examined the perceptions of students about flipped teaching method using various teaching materials on a Likert 5-point scale. The findings indicate that flipped classroom was a better teaching method. The mean scores of flipped classrooms were high and it was found to be significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that flipped classroom is more effective for students when compared to lectures. An implication of this is the possibility that it can be used as an adjunctive method in the new curriculum.

The Shift and Way Out for Health Science Popularization Lectures in the New Media Era / 中国医学伦理学

Currently, the public’s concern for health has unprecedentedly increased, while some institutions find it difficult to carry out health lectures. Overall, health lectures play an important role, but they face some practical challenges at the operational level, involving lecture objectives, public demands, communication methods, dissemination channels, and foothold methods. In the era of new media, health science popularization lectures are still an effective means of persuasion today, but traditional lecture methods need to be endowed with new connotations, and made shifts and adjustments. Health science popularization lectures should make the following shifts. First, the lecture objectives should turn to "extensive use", stepping out of the limitations of popular science knowledge, and promoting the public to proactively seek health knowledge and information. Second, the lecture content should turn to the integration of physical and mental, designing courses from the perspective of physical and mental, enhancing communication among people, and promoting trust between individuals. Third, the lecture effect should turn to enjoyment, breaking the prejudice against the lecture effect and taking the enjoyment and interest stimulation as the important goal of health science popularization. Fourth, the speaker should turn to "professionalization", establishing a team of professional health lecturers. At the operational level, it is necessary to strictly control the entry and exit of health lecturers to create a lecture brand, segment the audience to organize homogeneous audiences, tell good stories and enhance emotional narration, plan holistically and achieve full-media three-dimensional communication, and scientifically evaluate and emphasize long-term effects.

Doctor-patient relationship: Effectiveness of the “Jigsaw” method of teaching among Phase I MBBS students in a tertiary care teaching hospital

Background: Students learn passively in the lecture format and rely on teachers for knowledge acquisition, making it unsuitable for achieving the higher levels of knowledge. Jigsaw learning encourages collaboration between learners for a deeper understanding of the subject and the facilitator role is relatively limited. Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to: 1. Determine the effectiveness of the jigsaw method versus traditional lecture methods for the teaching of Attitude, communication, and ethics (AETCOM) in Phase I MBBS students. 2. To assess the perception of students toward the jigsaw method. Material and Methods: This quasi-experimental study included 104 Phase I MBBS students, who were assigned to the jigsaw group and traditional lecture group. As part of the jigsaw method, 10 parent groups and five expert groups were formed to encourage peer group learning. Validated pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires were used in the evaluation. Results: On post-test, both groups scored significantly higher than pre-test, but the scores on pre-test did not differ between them. Post-test scores of the jigsaw group were significantly higher than those of the traditional method group. Jigsaw was rated positively by students for enhancing peer interaction (91%), deeper learning of the subject (90%), and communication skills (89%). Conclusion: The jigsaw method is more effective than the traditional method for the teaching of the AETCOM module to medical undergraduates. It can be used as a helpful tool for teaching communication skills and teamwork by utilizing cooperative learning strategies.

Online Educational Program for Parents of Adolescents on Human Papillomavirus Vaccination during COVID Pandemic: A Feasibility Check

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for adolescents helps in the prevention of preventable cancers caused due to HPV infection. However, many adolescents are not vaccinated due to lack of knowledge among parents. Objective: This study aimed to compare the level of knowledge and attitude of parents on HPV vaccination before and after the online educational intervention. Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted among a sample of 45 parents of adolescents studying in class 7th–9th. The parents were selected two-stage simple random sampling and assigned randomly to three groups with three different methods of education – online lecture with PowerPoint presentation, online short film with discussion, and self?learning online booklet. Pre? and postintervention knowledge was assessed with a structured questionnaire and attitude with modified Likert scale administered online. Wilcoxon and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to find the statistical significance in the study. Results: Only 36% of samples stated that they have not heard about HPV vaccination, while others had heard from health?care workers, family members, friends, or television, but their knowledge was inadequate. In all the three groups, there was significant improvement in level of knowledge, but there was no significant difference in attitude. The posttest knowledge scores of parents educated with short film were significantly more than the other two interventions. Conclusion: Online educational programs were found to be effective in improving the knowledge of parents on HPV vaccination and of the three methods; short film was more effective than the other two methods.

Effectiveness of self-directed learning in physiology-students’ perspective

Background: Self-directed learning (SDL) is an important adult learning educational approach where the learner makes all the effort to study on his own with or without the help of a facilitator. SDL gives the learner greater autonomy and freedom over his own learning process. Aim and Objectives: (1) To compare lecture-based and SDL methodologies using pre-test and post-test on 1st year MBBS students in physiology. (2) To know the effectiveness of SDL methodology sessions from a student’s perspective using questionnaires. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted among 1st year MBBS students in the Department of Physiology. After taking ethical clearance from the institutional ethical committee, total of 150 students were divided into two groups comprising 75 each. Each group attended two sessions of SDL and lecture where pre-test and post-test was given in the form of MCQs. Pre-test and post-test scores of each session were compared. Student’s perspectives about SDL were assessed via questionnaires. Data entry and analysis were carried out using Microsoft excel datasheet and SPSS software (Ver. 22). The test of significance for paired data was done using Wilcoxon Signed rank test. Results: In our study, it was found that the mean value of the post-test scores of SDL group were greater than that of the lecture session. Majority of students perceived the SDL sessions to be more effective. It helped them know their objectives and proactively establish their learning goal. Conclusion: SDL sessions are more effective than lecture sessions in teaching physiology to 1st year MBBS students. It ensures that the learner becomes more independent, which is a highly desirable trait for a medical graduate.

Application of case-based study combined with traditional lecture in the course of Laboratory Medicine and Clinical Sciences / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of the course of Laboratory Medicine and Clinical Sciences in the Laboratory Medicine Faculty of Sun Yat-sen University. Methods:Twenty-four undergraduate students in Batch 2016 of Medical Laboratory Faculty were divided into small groups (4-6 students per group). They learned each case in groups before class. In the first session of each class, the case-based study (CBS) tutor would randomly assign case-related questions to the students. Students were required to present their answers in class. The CBS tutor would guide the students to discuss the case further. In the second session, a lecture associated with the case would be given by a special subject lecturer. After the course, students, tutors and lecturers were given questionnaires and were randomly interviewed to comprehensively understand the course's effectiveness. SPSS 19.0 was used for statistics.Results:Most case discussion tutors agreed that they could guide students to discuss clinical cases well in class and give comments according to students' presentations (93.75%, 15/16). Most of the lecturers agreed that they could well guide students to think about the relationship between laboratory and clinical diagnosis and treatment in class (91.67%, 11/12). Both teachers and students had very positive evaluations of the learning mode, learning content, inspiration to students, and teachers' ability of this course. All the teachers and students agreed that the learning mode of combining CBS with special subject lecture was more helpful for the students to systematically learn medical knowledge compared with a CBS session alone or a lecture alone.Conclusion:The course, Laboratory Medicine and Clinical Sciences, which combines the CBS with the traditional lecture mode, integrates the advantages of the two learning modes. It not only stimulates students' enthusiasm for active learning, deepens clinical knowledge memory, and builds a clinical thinking model, but also enriches the teaching modes of medical laboratory education.

Questionnaire Survey on the Comprehension of the Relationship between Alcohol Degradation and Gene Polymorphisms among Pharmacy Students and Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Test-Linked Video Lectures / 社会薬学

Excessive drinking causes of social problems and economic loss, and has adverse physical and mental effects. If the gene polymorphism of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2), an important enzyme in the degradation of alcohol, is known, it is possible to avoid drinking alcohol to a level that exceeds its decomposition ability and prevent adverse physical and social effects. In the future, pharmacy students will contribute to improving the health of local residents as pharmacists; therefore, it is necessary for them to understand alcohol metabolism and related problems. In this study, we investigated the degree of understanding of alcohol degradation pathways, related enzymes, and polymorphisms among second- and third-year pharmacy students in their twenties before and after watching a test-linked video lecture on the subject. Third-year students (61.3 points) scored higher than second-year students (45.7 points) on average due to the learning effect. However, both the second- and third-year students did not show a high level of comprehension before the lecture. After the video lecture related to the test was shown to students, the same test was performed again. Comparing the test scores before and after the video lecture, both the second- and third-year students demonstrated a higher average score (86.1 and 93.3 points, respectively), a significant increase. From these data, it was proved that the test-linked video lecture we created could be used as an effective tool by pharmacy students to understand alcohol metabolism in a short time.

Leitura de textos literários como subversão à linguagem do poder / Literary text reading like subversion of the language of power

Este ensaio propõe apontamentos sobre as especificidades da leitura de textos literários como experiência potencialmente formadora de novos sentidos para o leitor e subversiva à linguagem do poder, com seus discursos normatizados e normatizadores do cotidiano. Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa de literatura sobre a temática, e dividiu-se este texto em quatro eixos centrais: o primeiro, em que se apresenta algumas concepções sobre literatura, texto literário e leitura literária; o segundo, em que se discorre sobre a leitura individual e de escuta, partindo do pressuposto de que tal modalidade possibilita ao leitor uma experiência criativa e crítica a partir da produção de sentidos derivada do encontro com o texto. Este ponto encontra-se intimamente relacionado ao terceiro, a leitura literária como experiência; e por fim, apresentam-se interpretações sobre a leitura literária como experiência de subversão à palavra de ordem e à linguagem do poder. Tal diálogo nos levou a concluir que a leitura literária pode representar uma resistência às naturalizações do instituído cotidiano, uma vez que ela se revela como um âmbito de produção de singularidades, instigando no leitor a interrogação sobre o mundo concreto ao seu redor e seus discursos hegemônicos.(AU)

This essay proposes notes on the specificities of reading literary texts as an experience, potentially forming new meanings for the reader, and subversive to the language of power, with its normative and normative discourses of daily life. To this end we conducted a narrative literature review on the subject, and divided this text into four central axes: in the first, we present some conceptions about literature, literary text and literary reading; in the second, we discuss about individual and listening reading, assuming that such modality allows the reader a creative and critical experience from the production of meanings derived from the encounter with the text. This point is closely related to the third, literary reading as an experience; and finally, we present interpretations about literary reading as an experience of subversion of the watchword and the language of power. This dialogue led us to conclude that literary reading may represent a resistance to the naturalizations of the daily institute, because it reveals itself as a scope for the production of singularities, prompting the reader to question the concrete world around him and his hegemonic discourses.(AU)

Este ensayo propone notas sobre las especificidades de la lectura de textos literarios como una experiencia que potencialmente forma nuevos significados para el lector y que es subversiva al lenguaje del poder, un lenguage con discursos normalizados y normalizadores de la vida cotidiana. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura narrativa sobre el tema, y ​​este texto se dividió en cuatro ejes centrales: el primero, en el que se presentan algunas concepciones sobre la literatura, el texto literario y la lectura literaria; el segundo, en que se discute la lectura y la escucha individual, a partir de la suposición de que esta modalidad permite al lector una experiencia creativa y crítica a partir de la producción de significados derivados de su encuentro con el texto. Este punto está muy relacionado con el tercero, la lectura literaria como experiencia; y finalmente, las interpretaciones de la lectura literaria se presentan como una experiencia de subversión a la orden y al lenguaje del poder. Este diálogo nos llevó a concluir que la lectura literaria puede representar una resistencia a las naturalizaciones en el cotidiano, pues se revela como un ámbito de producción de singularidades, e instiga al lector a cuestionar el mundo concreto que le rodea y sus discursos hegemónicos.(AU)

Abstract This theoretical and methodological study discusses the relationship between prosody and reading comprehension from two different approaches: 1) the different methodological resources adopted to investigate this complex relationship; 2) the existing controversy on how this relationship is configured. Reflections such as these allow for an in-depth knowledge on the characteristics of the different methodological resources used to study a given phenomenon and to clarify controversies in certain fields of knowledge, such as the prosody-reading comprehension relationship, a topic still open to different interpretations. The discussions presented here are based on research carried out with elementary school children.

Resumen Este artículo, de carácter teórico-metodológico, analiza la relación entre la prosodia y la comprensión lectora desde dos enfoques. El primer enfoque aborda los diferentes recursos metodológicos adoptados en la investigación de esta compleja relación, mientras que el segundo plantea la controversia existente sobre cómo se configura esta relación. Estas reflexiones nos permiten profundizar nuestro conocimiento acerca de las características de diferentes recursos metodológicos adoptados en la investigación de un fenómeno dado; también contribuye a esclarecer controversias en determinados campos del conocimiento, como la relación entre prosodia y comprensión lectora, tema que aún permanece abierto a diversas interpretaciones. Las discusiones que aquí se presentan están basadas en investigaciones realizadas con niños de escuela primaria.

Résumé Cet étude théorico-méthodologique traite de la relation entre la prosodie et la compréhension en lecture à partir de deux approches différentes: 1) les différentes ressources méthodologiques adoptées pour étudier cette relation complexe; 2) la controverse existante sur la façon dont cette relation est configurée. De telles réflexions permettent d'approfondir la connaissance des caractéristiques des différentes ressources méthodologiques adoptées pour étudier un phénomène donné et de clarifier les controverses dans certains domaines de savoir, comme la relation prosodie-compréhension en lecture, un sujet encore ouvert à différentes interprétations. Les discussions présentées ici sont basées sur des recherches menées auprès d'enfants de l'école primaire.
