Effectiveness of Integrated Multimodal Digital and Specimen-Based Neuroanatomy Teaching Among Medical Students
Effectiveness of Integrated Multimodal Digital and Specimen-Based Neuroanatomy Teaching in Improving Knowledge, Reducing Perceived Learning Difficulty, and Enhancing Confidence Among Medical Students
This three-phase randomized controlled educational intervention trial will evaluate the effectiveness of integrated multimodal digital and specimen-based neuroanatomy teaching compared with traditional specimen-based revision among Medical Year 2 students. The study will assess knowledge, perceived learning difficulty, and confidence in a difficult neuroanatomy topic identified through a baseline assessment.

Detaillierte Beschreibung
The study will be conducted in three phases. In Phase 1, students will receive traditional neuroanatomy teaching followed by a 50-item single-best-answer assessment, topic difficulty ratings, and confidence ratings to identify the most challenging neuroanatomy topic.
In Phase 2, students will be randomly allocated after stratification based on previous module academic performance. Group A will receive an integrated multimodal digital and specimen-based neuroanatomy teaching session, while Group B will receive a traditional specimen-based revision session as a wait-list control. Both groups will receive a 90-minute structured teaching session covering identical learning objectives.
In Phase 3, students will complete an immediate post-intervention 20-item single-best-answer assessment and confidence questionnaire. Group B will subsequently receive the integrated multimodal digital and specimen-based teaching intervention.

Intervention / Behandlung |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Integrated Multimodal Digital and Specimen-Based Teaching
A 90-minute structured integrated multimodal digital and specimen-based neuroanatomy teaching session using virtual dissection, three-dimensional digital visualization, pathway animations/drawing/mapping, sectional CT/MRI imaging, physical 3D models, specimen-based learning, interactive learning activities, and clinical case integration. |
Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive integrated multimodal neuroanatomy teaching using multiple complementary learning modalities. The intervention will incorporate 3D virtual dissection and anatomical segmentation using the Asclepius virtual dissection table, physical anatomical specimens and three-dimensional models, pathway animation and instructor-guided drawing/mapping, two-dimensional CT/MRI brain cross-sectional images, and case-based learning (CBL). These modalities will be integrated around the selected difficult neuroanatomy topic to facilitate three-dimensional spatial understanding, anatomical relationships, pathway organization, and clinical application. The intervention will be delivered by the same instructor using a standardized teaching session. Participants in the wait-list control group will receive the integrated multimodal neuroanatomy teaching after completion of the post-intervention assessment. |
|
Aktiver Komparator: Traditional Specimen-Based Revision
A 90-minute structured traditional specimen-based revision session consisting of a brief review lecture and demonstration of formalin-fixed anatomical specimens, following standardized learning objectives and teaching materials. |
Participants assigned to the active comparator group will receive traditional specimen-based neuroanatomy revision using formalin-fixed anatomical specimens and instructor-guided review of relevant anatomical structures and relationships. The session will follow the conventional specimen-based teaching approach used for neuroanatomy revision. |

Beschreibung des IPD-Plans
Individual participant data will not be shared because the study involves individual-level educational data from medical students. Although the data will be de-identified for analysis, access to the participant-level dataset will be restricted to the research team to protect participant privacy and confidentiality.
