Introduction Of Case Based Learning In Teaching Of Biochemistry
Keywords:
CBL - Case Based Learning , TL – Traditional LearningAbstract
Background & Objectives: Biochemistry is the basic science subject of first year MBBS course. It describes all the biochemical reactions occurring in the body, which makes the subject difficult and the student looses interest in it. In our institute, teaching is done mainly by didactic method. We introduced case based learning method (CBL) for teaching. The objective of this study was -1. To compare score of students by two methods of teaching – traditional lectures and case based methodology. 2. To evaluate student’s feedback regarding their perception to case based learning. Methods: After getting written consent from 1st year MBBS students , they were divided into two groups. One group (50 students - case) was taught by case based learning method and another group (50 students control group) was taught by traditional method. Improvement in their performance was assessed by MCQ and statistically compared. Perception of both groups about CBL was taken by a set of questionnaire based on Likert’s scale. Results: Statistically significant increase in performance of student taught by CBL method than student taught by traditional method was seen. Student’s and faculties’s perception about CBL was positive. All students found the CBL as effective method for learning. Conclusion: CBL is a good teaching learning method to increase involvement and interest of student in learning and enhance their academic performance. [Dr. Rekha K NJIRM 2016; 7(5):82-86]
