Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Effectiveness of Artwork Learning Approaches in Improving Students' Attitudes and Self-Efficacy in Anatomy Education

  The outcome measure includes the assessment of anatomy self-efficacy and attitudes among the participating nursing and midwifery students. Additionally, a self-report questionnaire was administered to collect demographic information such as age, grade, sex, and field of study. The Anatomy Self-Efficacy Scale is a validated measurement tool that assesses students' perceived confidence in their ability to understand and apply anatomical knowledge. The Anatomy Attitude Scale is another validated measurement tool used to assess students' attitudes and beliefs toward the study of anatomy. It includes statements related to the interest, value, and enjoyment of learning anatomy. The data collected from the self-report questionnaire, Anatomy Self-Efficacy Scale, and Anatomy Attitude Scale will be aggregated and analyzed to evaluate the impact of different educational approaches on students' self-efficacy beliefs and attitudes towards anatomy.

Study Arms (2)

Art work

EXPERIMENTAL

The artwork group was tasked with preparing anatomical models by hand. This hands-on approach was designed to engage the students in a more active and creative manner, allowing them to develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter. By visualizing and creating the anatomical structures themselves, the students were able to retain the information better and apply it in a practical context.

Other: alternative teaching methods

Atlas groups

EXPERIMENTAL

The atlas group was provided with a selection of anatomical pictures from atlases and encouraged to use them as a resource to aid their learning throughout the semester. This approach focused on visual learning and aimed to provide the students with a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the anatomical structures and how they interact with one another.

Other: alternative teaching methods

Interventions

alternative teaching methods OTHER

This study aimed to explore the potential benefits of alternative teaching methods in anatomy education, as well as to investigate the effectiveness of traditional lecture-based education in comparison. By examining the outcomes of these different approaches, we hope to understand better how students can best learn and retain knowledge in this field.
