Percepción del Aprendizaje Activo Virtual de la Anatomía Humana, por Estudiantes de la Universidad Austral de Chile / Student Perceptions of Active Learning for the Practice of Virtual Human Anatomy, a Study at the Universidad Austral de Chile

Ante la pandemia del coronavirus, hubo que reinventar la forma de hacer las actividades prácticas de laboratorio de anatomía humana, la necesidad de que sean exclusivamente virtual, elevó la exigencia. La imposibilidad de trabajar con material orgánico demandó que al menos las imágenes a utilizar fueran de alta calidad. Para lo anterior, se usaron fotografías de disecciones del laboratorio de anatomía, más digitalizaciones de estructuras humanas de nuestro laboratorio en formato 3D disponibles en la plataforma web https://anatomiahumana3d.com. No obstante lo anterior, se detectó cierto grado de desidia por parte de los estudiantes y escasa participación en las actividades prácticas. Para resolver esto se implementó una modalidad de Aprendizaje Activo, específicamente de Aula Invertida, con el fin de que sea el propio estudiante quien genere su conocimiento. Una vez terminado el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje bajo la nueva modalidad, se realizó un estudio descriptivo, a fin de detectar falencias y proponer mejoras respecto a la metodología aplicada. Los resultados arrojaron un nivel de satisfacción por sobre el 80 %, en tanto, que solo el 5 % de los estudiantes contestó como aceptable las diferentes dimensiones evaluadas, demostrando como el sistema de aula inversa fue bien recibida por los estudiantes. Sin embargo es prudente generar futuros estudios que ayuden a mejorar este tipo de metodología, como también seguir innovando en las estrategias didácticas que aporten a la comprensión de la anatomía humana.

SUMMARY: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic it was necessary to reinvent the way of doing practical activities in the human anatomy laboratory and the need for these to be exclusively online, raised the requirement. Due to the impossibility of using organic samples, high-quality images had to be used. Therefore, photographs of dissections from our human anatomy laboratory were used, as well as digitalization of human structures from our laboratory in a three-dimensional (3D) format available on the web platform https://anatomiahumana3d.com. However, a certain degree of laziness on the part of the students and low participation in the practical activities was detected. To solve this problem, an Active Learning modality was implemented, specifically the Flipped Classroom, so that the students themselves generate their knowledge. Once the teaching-learning process was completed under the new modality, a descriptive study was carried out to detect shortcomings and propose improvements to the methodology applied. The results showed a level of satisfaction above 80 % and only 5 % of the students evaluated the different dimensions as acceptable demonstrating how the Flipped Classroom system was well received by the students. To conclude, it is prudent to generate future studies that help to improve this type of methodology, as well as to continue innovating in didactic strategies that contribute to the understanding of human anatomy.

Una Actualización de la Enseñanza de la Anatomía Humana: Análisis Comparativo de Aula Invertida y Modelo tradicional / An Update on the Teaching of Human Anatomy: Comparative Analysis of the Flipped Classroom and the Traditional Model

La enseñanza de la Anatomía humana es trascendental para toda profesión del área de la salud. En el contexto de Chile, ésta se caracteriza por ser principalmente corte tradicional con transferencia unidireccional de la información. Actualmente se propone lograr un aprendizaje más significativo, con la ayuda de modelos como Aula invertida. El objetivo de este estudio es comparar el rendimiento académico entre el modelo tradicional (MT) y Aula invertida (AI). Se intervinieron 2 cursos de 1° año, de las carreras de Nutrición y Odontología año 2022 de la Universidad de La Frontera, en los que se aplicó MT y AI, comparando el rendimiento con un test post clase en Nutrición, y un trabajo grupal en Odontología. Se realizaron análisis estadísticos descriptivos y pruebas que compararon las notas obtenidas. En uno de los grupos se segmentaron los estudiantes por rendimiento para analizar cómo afecta cada modelo dependiendo del tipo de estudiante. Se obtuvo mejor promedio post test con AI en Nutrición; 4,9 ±1,3, en contraste con un promedio de 4,2 ±1,3 para MT (escala 1,0 a 7,0). La prueba T de Student arrojó diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p0,05) en las calificaciones de los trabajos grupales con MT y AI. Es imperante actualizar la enseñanza de la Anatomía en favor de lograr un aprendizaje significativo, mediado por el trabajo de pares y el estudiante como protagonista que propone AI, que a su vez beneficia a aquellas personas con rendimientos más bajos al comienzo.

SUMMARY: The teaching of anatomy is transcendental for every profession in the health care area. In the Chilean context, this is characterized by being mainly traditional with a one-way transfer of information. Currently, it is proposed to achieve a more significant learning, with based models such as Flipped Classroom. The objective of this study is to compare the academic performance between the traditional model (TM) and the flipped classroom (FP). Two 1st year courses were intervened, from the Nutrition and Dentistry degrees at Universidad de La Frontera in 2022, in which TM and FP were applied, comparing the performance with a post-class test in Nutrition, and workgroup in Denistry. Descriptive statistical analyzes and tests that compared the grades obtained were performed. In one of the groups, the students were segmented by performance to analyze how each model affects the type of student. A better post-test average was obtained with FP in Nutrition; 4.9 ±1.3, in contrast to an average of 4.2 ±1.3 for TM (1.0 to 7.0 scale). Student's t test showed statistically significant differences (p0.05) in the evaluations of the workgroup with TM and FP. It is imperative to improve the Anatomy´s teaching in favor of achieving significant learning, mediated by peer work and the student as the protagonist proposing FP, which in turn benefits individuals with lower performances at the beginning.

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.

Innovación en la enseñanza de la anatomía humana: aula invertida y su aplicación / Innovation in the teaching of human anatomy: flipped classroom implementation

El contexto actual involucra un acceso cada vez más universal a las tecnologías e información, lo que repercute fuertemente en el aula. Los estudiantes se muestran pasivos y reacios al Modelo Tradicional de enseñanza. De esta manera las innovaciones toman protagonismo, tal es el caso del modelo Aula Invertida (AI). El objetivo de este trabajo es describir la aplicación de AI en la enseñanza de la Anatomía humana en un entorno universitario. Se intervinieron 4 sesiones de la asignatura de Anatomía General de un curso de 41 estudiantes. Se abordó el contenido en 3 etapas: pre clase, clase y post clase, utilizando recursos y plataformas multimedia como Moodle y Youtube. Las actividades incluyeron lecciones virtuales, trabajos en grupo y cuestionarios minimalistas. Al final del semestre se aplicó una encuesta de percepción del estudiante. El logro alcanzado en pre clase fue 40,45 %, 55,46 %, 43,75 % y 76,04 % para las sesiones 01 a 04, respectivamente. Las calificaciones de los trabajos en grupos de la encuesta el 63,2 % y 76,3 % de los estudiantes manifestó estar "muy de acuerdo" con que AI potencia el trabajo autónomo y colaborativo, respectivamente. El 73,6 % prefiere el modelo AI por sobre el Tradicional. El modelo AI ha mostrado promover una mejor evolución del proceso de enseñanza- aprendizaje, siendo adaptable a disciplinas de ciencias básicas como el caso de Anatomía humana. La buena experiencia de esta innovación se debe sustentar en una programación bien estructurada, apoyo dentro y fuera del aula, y el ajuste de estrategias exitosas. Es inminente la necesidad de adaptarse al nuevo contexto donde prima el acceso a las tecnologías e información.

SUMMARY: The current context involves a generally increasing access of technologies and information, which has a strong impact on the classroom. Students are passive and reluctant to the traditional teaching model. Thus, innovations take center stage, such is the case of the Flipped Classroom (FC) model. The aim of this paper is to describe the application of FC in the teaching of human anatomy in a university environment. Four sessions of the General Anatomy program were intervened with a group of 41 students. The content was approached in 3 stages: pre-class, class and post-class, using multimedia resources and platforms such as Moodle and YouTube. The activities included virtual lessons, group work and minimalist quizzes. At the end of the semester a student perception survey was applied. Achievement percentage in pre-class were 40.45 %, 55.46 %, 43.75 % and 76.04 % for sessions 01 to 04. The grades for class group work were 5.8±0.34, 6.1±0.46, 6.0±0.78 and 6.7±0.38 for the sessions worked. In the survey 63.2 % and 76.3 % of the students stated that they "very satisfied" that FC enhances autonomous and collaborative work, respectively. 73.6 % preferred the FC model over the traditional one. The FC model has shown to promote a better evolution of the teaching-learning process, being adaptable to basic science disciplines such as human anatomy. A positive experience of this innovation must be supported by well-structured programming, support inside and outside the classroom, and the adjustment of successful strategies. There is an imminent need to adapt to the new context where access to technologies and information is a priority.

“Flipped Classroom” teaching-learning method in medical biochemistry 1st professional MBBS students

Background: The flipped classroom is an educational model in which the standard lecture and homework elements of a course are “reversed” or “flipped.” In the current scenario, the new teaching-learning (T-L) method like flipped classroom is an essential requirement due to shifting in medical education from teacher-centric to student-centric as a consequence of the recent changes in medical education called “Competency-Based Medical Education.” The advantage of this teaching-learning method is to motivate students for self-directed learning and provides an opportunity for students to read/view course-related material at their own pace and on their own time before the actual class. Change in T-L method in medical biochemistry is extremely important since 1st Professional MBBS students considered it as tiresome and boring subject and give it least priority in all the subjects of 1st Professional MBBS course. Aim and Objectives: The main objective of this study is to introduce “Flipped Classroom” as an innovative teaching-learning method in medical biochemistry. Materials and Methods: For this study, 76 students were in-rolled and randomly divided them into two equal groups. Two topics from the medical biochemistry were selected, each group given an equal chance to learn by each method, at the end of teaching-learning the MCQ test was conducted and feedback from the student was collected. Results: In topics, the group learned the topic by flipped classroom scored more marks than the other group. The mean score of students, after the didactic lecture and flipped-classroom irrespective of the topic, were 4.43 and 5.39 marks, respectively (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The flipped-classroom method was found useful to improve the score of the 1st Professional MBBS students in medical biochemistry subject and facilitate them to understand the topic more clearly than the didactic lecture.

Effectiveness of Flipped Class Room Approach as a Teaching Methodology in Anatomy for Early Clinical Exposure Modules for First-Year Medical Students – An Interventional Study

Background: The National Medical Commission (NMC) of India has rolled out the competency based undergraduate medical curriculum in the year 2019 where there is more emphasis on integration of basic and clinical sciences, early clinical exposure (ECE) and clinical competence and skills. To achieve this it is essential to work on higher forms of cognitive work. Hence it reckons for the change in the teaching–learning methodology currently in practice. Thus we introduced a innovative teaching methodology such as flipped class room (FCR) methodology among first year medical graduates for early clinical exposure modules in anatomy. Materials and methods: This interventional study was conducted among the 1st year MBBS students of Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital (2019–2020 academic year). The ECE modules were taught using both traditional lectures and FCR methodology. Pre and post tests were conducted for both the methodology. A comparative analysis of FCR teaching method with lecture based session was done by obtaining the scores of the students. A Structured questionnaire to assess the learner’s perception about FCR teaching methodology was obtained from the participants. The Results were analyzed using microsoft excel and SPSS software version 23. Evaluation of teaching tool was done by using Kirkpatrick model Results: Repeated measures Anova was applied and there was a significant difference within the two methodology and the interaction effect was also significant with P value 0.001. Although both methods show increase in mean from pre to post test the mean increase in flipped class method is more than the lecture. Spearman’s correlation was done which showed there is a significant relationship between both the methods with p value 0.001 correlation co-efficient r was 0.377. Overall Response to FCR method received higher rating. Conclusion: FCR methodology creates the opportunity to meet the needs of students through various instructional activities. There is a positive reinforcement and improvement in the student’s performance.

El método de enseñanza-aprendizaje de aula invertida propicia actividades participativas, de esfuerzo y colaboración antes, durante y fuera del salón de clases. Por tal razón, que se propuso la aplicación del aula invertida en el desarrollo de competencias para el control domicilario de mosquitos de importancia para la salud pública en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Chota, Camarja, Perú. El estudio fue experimental con una muestra de 72 estudiantes. Para la recolección de datos se aplicó la estrategia didáctica del Modelo Flipped Classroom en dos tiempos (pre y post test). Se usó el software SPSS para medianas y prueba de Wilcoxon considerando un alpha del 5%. Como resultado, en el post-test sobre los factores de riesgo identificados en el domicilio se evidenciaron cambios significativos, donde 72,22% identificaron los recipientes de almacenamiento de agua expuestos, 51,39% Frascos/botellas/envases con agua estancada, 45,83% piletas sin liempieza, 29,17% Llantas/desechos al aire libre con agua estancada, 26,39% Floreros con agua vieja, 20,83% analetas/grietas con agua estancada, 12,50% otros y 8,33% no identifico ningún factor, la comparación de la puntuación promedio en competencias para el control domicilario de mosquitos, antes y después de la aplicación del aula invertida en la Prueba de Wilcoxon mostró una z de -4,81 en la dimesión de identificar, -4,860 proponer y -4862 actuar, todos con p 0,000% (diferencia altamente significativa). El método de aula invertida a través de métodos prácticos interactivos contribuye de manera significativa al desarrollo de competencias para el control domicilario de mosquitos de importancia de salud pública(AU)

The flipped classroom teaching-learning method encourages participatory, effortful, and collaborative activities before, during, and outside the classroom. For this reason, the application of the flipped classroom was proposed in the development of skills for the home control of mosquitoes of importance for public health at the National Autonomous University of Chota, Camarja, Peru. The study was experimental with a sample of 72 students. For data collection, the didactic strategy of the Flipped Classroom Model was applied in two stages (pre and post test). The SPSS software was used for medians and the Wilcoxon test considering an alpha of 5%. As a result, in the post-test on the risk factors identified at home, significant changes were evidenced, where 72.22% identified exposed water storage containers, 51.39% Jars/bottles/containers with stagnant water, 45 83% pools without cleaning, 29.17% tires/outdoor debris with stagnant water, 26.39% vases with old water, 20.83% holes/cracks with stagnant water, 12.50% others and 8.33 % did not identify any factor, the comparison of the average score in skills for home control of mosquitoes, before and after the application of the flipped classroom in the Wilcoxon Test showed a z of -4.81 in the dimension of identifying, - 4,860 propose and -4,862 act, all with p 0.000% (highly significant difference). The flipped classroom method through interactive practical methods contributes significantly to the development of skills for home control of mosquitoes of public health importance(AU)

Application of mixed TBL teaching method in practical teaching of critical obstetric diseases / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective:To evaluate the mixed team-based learning (TBL) teaching method in the practical teaching of critical obstetric diseases.Methods:A total of 72 undergraduate students majoring in "5+3" clinical medicine who practiced in The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from April to June 2019 were selected in the study. The typical cases of obstetric critical illness were selected, and the students were taught by TBL teaching combined with flipped classroom. After the class, a questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate the teaching effect.Results:Totally 72 questionnaires were recovered and the results showed that all the students thought this kind of mixed TBL teaching method was helpful to develop clinical thinking ability, and the process of "group discussion" and "extra-curricular preparation" was very helpful to understand the learning. A percentage of 93 (67/72) of the students liked this teaching mode, while 28% (20/72) of the students thought this learning mode was very stressful.Conclusion:This mixed TBL teaching method is effective and feasible in the practical teaching of critical obstetric diseases.

Application of multi-mode teaching steered by“HOPE” in the clinical teaching of contact lens / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

@#AIM:To investigate the application of multi-mode teaching steered by “HOPE” in the clinical teaching of contact lens.<p>METHODS: Prospective study. Two classes(totally 80 students)of 2018 grade major in optometry, Nanjing Medical University, were randomly selected as experimental group(40 students, 18 males, 22 females)using multi-mode teaching(including problem-based learning, case-based learning and flipped classroom),and control group(40 students, 19 males, 21 females)using traditional teaching mode. At the end of the course, the teaching effects were evaluated by usual performance, network examination, theory test, operation test and questionnaire.<p>RESULTS: The assessment result at ordinary times: the points of experiment group(16.46±2.19)points was higher than the control group(13.81±2.95)points(<i>t</i>=6.36, <i>P<</i>0.01); Network examination result: the points of experiment group(9.37±1.57)points was higher than the control group(7.21±1.46)points(<i>t</i>=4.39, <i>P=</i>0.01); Theory of the assessment result: the points of experiment group(40.41±3.48)points was higher than the control group(36.29±3.34)points(<i>t</i>=9.25, <i>P</i><0.01); The assessment result of operation: the points of experiment group(18.22±2.69)was higher than the control group(16.28±2.52)(<i>t</i>=3.25, <i>P=</i>0.02); Total grade: the points of experiment group(84.46±5.26)was higher than the control group(73.69±6.35)(<i>t</i>=11.26,<i>P<</i>0.01). Contact lens teaching effect feedback questionnaire results showed that: students based on the concept of “HOPE” teaching mode were more satisfied than control group, and they think it had more advantages than traditional teaching group in learning initiative and improving teaching efficiency, cultivating clinical thinking ability, improving the communication power of expression(all <i>P<</i>0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: Multi-mode teaching(PBL, CBL and flipped classroom)steered by “HOPE” in the clinical teaching of contact lens can stimulate students'interest in learning, improve the quality of teaching and achieve better teaching effect.
