Model Video Activity in Anatomy Education

Investigation of the Effect of Model Video Activity on Medical Faculty Students' Anatomy Education

During Anatomy education and training at medical school; In addition to theoretical lecture presentations, visual alternative methods such as videos can be used to better understand, learn and keep in mind anatomical structures, to help reinforce knowledge and to increase students' motivation in anatomy lessons. Model videos can be an alternative to visual anatomy education in order to provide a better understanding of the subjects so that people can watch model videos wherever and whenever they want, in addition to the theoretical lesson.

Detailed Description

The study aims to evaluate the effect of using model video activity on anatomy education in first-year medical faculty students. This study was planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled trial in a pre-test-post-test design to determine the effect of model video activity in anatomy education on the anatomy education of medical faculty students.The population of the research will be first-year students at Giresun University Faculty of Medicine, and the sample will be students who agree to participate in the research. Students who agreed to participate in the study were divided into experimental and control groups using the randomization method. Participants' consent to participate in the study was obtained by ticking the 'Volunteer consent form' and 'I want to participate in the study' box on the first page of the survey. Students who accept the research will fill out the "Introductory Characteristics of Students Form". After the anatomy course topic is explained in class, students will answer the theoretical questions about the subjects and the pre-test online via a Google Forms survey. Anatomy model videos prepared by the researchers for the experimental group students will be uploaded to Google Drive and sent via link. Students will be asked to log in from their computer or mobile phone and watch anatomy model videos whenever and wherever they want. Students in the experimental group will answer the final test after studying for a week and watching videos on Facial Muscles, Neck Anatomy and Muscles (Anterior Side Region Muscles and Triangles), Forearm Anterior Region Muscles, Forearm Posterior Region Muscles and Hand Muscles.

No application will be made to the control group and their training will continue only with the traditional method. Control group students will fill out the theoretical questions test again on the topics "Facial Muscles, Neck Anatomy and Muscles (Anterior Side Region Muscles and Triangles), Forearm Anterior Region Muscles, Forearm Posterior Region Muscles and Hand Muscles".

After the experimental group application is completed and all data is received, anatomy model videos will be shared with the control group students. Students will be asked to fill out the 'Anatomy Model Video Activity Feedback Form'.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The effects of model video activity in anatomy education on the anatomy education of medical faculty students were measured with the 'Anatomy theoretical questions test' prepared by the researchers.	A randomized controlled study with pre-test-post-test design with experimental and control groups. 'Anatomy theoretical questions test' prepared for pre-test and post-test was given to students before and after watching anatomy model videos. 'Anatomy theoretical questions test' prepared by researchers consists of 25 questions, each with five options.	The duration of watching anatomy model videos for each subject is 1 week. The time to complete the 'Anatomy theoretical questions test' pre-tests and post-tests is 1 week each.
