Hypothesis
Does Clinically Oriented Physiology Teaching (COPT) improve the performance of undergraduate medical students compared to traditional teaching methods?
Conclusion
COPT was found to significantly enhance student performance in physiology compared to traditional teaching methods.
Supporting Evidence
- Post-COPT scores were significantly higher than pre-COPT scores.
- Experimental group outperformed the control group in post-COPT assessments.
- Students preferred COPT over traditional didactic lectures.
Takeaway
Teaching physiology with real-life cases helps students learn better than just lectures.
Methodology
The study compared exam scores of students taught with COPT to those taught traditionally, using ANOVA for analysis.
Limitations
COPT could not be implemented in all blocks due to time constraints, and exam content varied across batches.
Participant Demographics
Undergraduate medical students from Melaka Manipal Medical College, India.
