Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In the last curricular review (1995/96) radiological anatomy was introduced as an innovation in the program of the course of clinical anatomy of the Medical School. Since computer-based media are known to facilitate the understanding of the human body, computer technology was selected in the academic year of 1997/98 as an elective educational tool to teach radiological anatomy. CD-ROMs were introduced as additional instructional resources in 1997/98. This technology aimed to provide educational support to the program, namely, to the sessions of radiological anatomy in each section of the course: head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum. A questionnaire was designed to evaluate the opinion of the students enrolled in this course, focusing on the teaching sessions of radiological anatomy. Of 152 students, 135 (88.8%) returned the questionnaire. To describe the relationship between the value of this technology and several aspects of its organisation and adequacy, the Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used; canonical correlation was used for the various practical sessions. The comments of students were very positive emphasising the quality of the media, organisation of the course, immediate feedback, degree of interactivity and simplicity of use; they suggested a larger facility for the computers and acquisition of more programs and hardware. The positive evaluation of the use of the CD-ROMs in clinical anatomy allows us to foresee the formal integration of these instructional tools in the whole course, and not to restrict its use to specific units within the course. |
