They were divided into two equally sizedexperimental groups, online learning (ONL) group (n = 16) and in‑person learning (INL) group (n = 16),to perform (15) educational sessions for (5) weeks, (3) sessions per week, and the session timewas 90 minutes. Junior basketball players were assessed before and after five‑week training period.Data were collected by Basketball Passing test, Dribbling Skill test, Lay Up Shoot test, Speed SpotShooting, and Free‑Throw Shooting test. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 22software using the descriptive statistical test. The level of significance was set at P ≤0.05.RESULTS: The results showed that the two groups made significant improvements in all variables butINL group had significantly greater improvements than ONL group. The percentage of improvementranged from 13% to 223% for INL group versus 8% to 158% for ONL group.CONCLUSION: We conclude that in‑person basketball learning was better than online learningbasketball.

Read More BACKGROUND: Linking anatomy with the clinical approach for creating an inquisitive mind fora millennium via the digital platform is the need of the hour. Traditional lecturing makes studentshave rote memorization of the human anatomy. The inquiry‑based project will allow undergraduatemedical students to have a deeper understanding of human anatomy along with team building andinterpersonal skill development. This approach of teaching would allow students to link the contenttaught for human anatomy with its clinical applicability and probably generate inquisitiveness forfurther exploring the course content. The study aimed to appraise and assess the perception ofmedical students and faculty about the inquiry‑based digitalized project presentation.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive cross‑sectional study was conducted for inquiry‑basedproject presentation where students were divided into 15 groups with 15 inquiries, which werepresented as projects on a digital platform under the guidance of the facilitator. The perceptionof students and faculty for the inquiry‑based approach was collected using a validated surveyquestionnaire. The quantitative data were analyzed by SPSS‑version 15, using descriptive statistics,Friedman’s rank, and thematic analysis for qualitative data.RESULT: In total, 117 students participated in the pre‑test and 129 in the post‑test part of the study.Also, 79.1% of students appreciated that the inquiry‑based project presentation approach allowedthem to link anatomy with different courses; 73.6% agreed that this approach has a positive impacton their attitude toward learning anatomy. Then, 75.2% students appreciated of learning new skillsusing the digital platform. They agreed to have developed leadership (65.1%) and team‑buildingskills (83.7%) and self‑directed learning (SDL) improvement (71.3%). However, some students (9.3%)and faculty (16.7%) had been ostracized for presenting their inquiry‑based projects on a digitalplatform, whereas 65.1% of students appreciated this approach.CONCLUSION: Inquiry‑based learning approach would allow students to have a deeperunderstanding of the subject knowledge and skills for the SDL and learn strategies for the usage ofvirtual technology for literature search.

Read More BACKGROUND: “Should students keep their webcams on or off during synchronous online classes?”is an unanswered question with educators’ opinions divided on this aspect. Along with educators’perspectives, it is also important to unfold students’ perspectives on this question. The objectivesof this study were to determine the routine and opinion of students’ regarding webcam usage andidentification of students’ reasons for not using webcams during online learning.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross‑sectional study was carried out at Margalla Institute of HealthSciences, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Census was done for data collection by including all dental students(n=180)enrolled at the institute attending synchronous online preclinical and clinical operative dentistry classes.Data collection was carried out using a self‑administrated questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was used todescribe survey item responses. Pair‑wise differences between demographic categories (female vs. male,and preclinical vs. clinical) were analyzed using the Pearson Chi‑Square test. Correlation of routine andopinion with students’ reasons were done using Spearman correlation. Ordinal regression analysis wasdone to associate routine and opinion with reasons. The level of significance (P value) was set at 0.05.RESULTS: Out of 180 students, 141 submitted the survey form, with a response rate of 77.47%. Themajority of the students (n = 117, 83%) used to keep their webcams off during online classes andwere (n = 69, 48.9%) of the opinion that webcams should be kept off during online classes. The mostcommon reasons for keeping the webcam off during online classes were “comfort” (n = 87, 61.7%)and “distractions” (n = 84, 59.6%). A statistically significant association of gender was obtained, withfemales more likely than males due to distraction, self‑consciousness, and appearance (P = 0.000,0.003, and 0.016, respectively). The odds of gender highly influenced routine use of cameras, andthis was statistically significant (OR: 3.478, P = 0.011). Students tended to keep their webcam offwhen they were inattentative during online classes (OR; 3.743, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: The majority of the students did not agree to keep the webcam on during onlinesynchronous learning. The main reasons for students’ reluctance to keep the webcam on wereself‑consciousness, surrounding consciousness, distractions, and technological issues. Studentscan be encouraged to turn the webcam on by framing strategies according to students' concerns.
