Read More BACKGROUND: Modern competency‑based medical education emphasizes student‑centeredteaching‑learning strategies where students take responsibility of their own learning. Student‑centeredapproaches facilitate multifaceted learning such as observation, critical evaluation, analysis, deeperunderstanding, and application of knowledge. The current study aims at assessing the students’perception on utilization of clinical case problem‑solving approach (CCPS) to promote their lifelonglearning.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present cross‑sectional study was conducted at College ofMedicine and Health Sciences (CoMHS) during the year 2021‑2022. MD3 students of the academicyear 2021‑2022 were the study participants. The study was approved by institutional Ethic and ReviewCommittee. Students’ performances were assessed through pre‑test and post‑test performances.Students’ feedback was collected through a predesigned questionnaire on a 3‑point Likert scale.Cronbach’s alpha coefficient test was used to assess the reliability of the questionnaire. The data wasentered to Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Paired t‑test was used tocompare pre‑test and post‑test scores and the data was expressed as numbers and percentages.RESULTS: In total, 103 participants were included in the study. Post‑test scores were significantlyhigher compared to pre‑test scores (p < 0.05). Questionnaire results showed that CCPS approachwas accepted as an effective learning strategy. Majority (>90%) of the students expressed CCPSapproach was interesting, motivated to learn, encouraged peer discussion, enhanced knowledge,and clarified their topic‑related doubts. More than 80% students opined that CCPS enhanced theircritical thinking, problem‑solving ability, deep learning, and lifelong learning skills. Nearly 90% ofthe students suggested for including such sessions for more topics in immunology course in future.CONCLUSION: From our study results, it can be concluded that CCPS is an effective learningstrategy to encourage students’ engagement and promote their deep learning skills.

Read More BACKGROUND: The use of active teaching methods in ethics education, instead of being merelyteacher centred, can lead students to problem‑solving in a practical way. Therefore, this study wasconducted with the aim of comprehensive medical ethics education based on educational approachesand the effect of this approach on students’ learning and moral reasoning skills.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This quasi‑experimental intervention study was performed on seventyphysiopathology medical students who had taken the medical ethics course. The students’ educationalprogram included teaching theoretical concept of medical ethics, discussing ethical cases and clinicalreasoning in class, and then discussing in forum environment and individual assignments in thelearning management system (LMS) system and completing the portfolio. Student evaluation wasassociated students’ knowledge, attitu de, and moral reasoning skills and learning. A comprehensiveprogram including forum participation, individual assignments in LMS, theory and objective structuredclinical examination (OSCE) tests, and portfolio completion was used to evaluation of students. Thestudents’ learning was compared to students of the previous year, which was conducted through atraditional teacher‑centered method. Data analysis was conducted using IBM® SPSS® Statistics 21at two levels of descriptive statistics and analytic statistics.RESULTS: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean learning ofstudents compared with traditional class (P < 0.05). Furthermore, comparison of students’ practicalscores through the OSCE test showed its impact on changing students’ knowledge, attitude, andperformance in moral reasoning.CONCLUSION: According to research findings, it seems that the mentioned model is one of theimportant and new issues as a suitable method of teaching medical ethics. Furthermore, it can besuitable model in other medical courses. The more research in multicentral may be need to assessother effects on students’ learning indicators.
