BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Learning ultrasound early in the medical school curriculum helps students to understand anatomy and pathology and to perform defined ultrasound standard views. Instructional videos are a potentially valuable tool for improving the process of learning ultrasound skills. It was the aim of the present study to investigate how students perceived instructional videos as a learning aid, compared to other learning opportunities, in preparation for an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).
MATERIALS AND METHODS METHODS
Eleven concise ultrasound videos were created and implemented in the 4
RESULTS RESULTS
In total, 445 of 640 students (69.5% of the cohort) used the instructional videos. Of those students, 134 (30%) answered the questionnaire. Of this group, 88.9% rated the instructional videos as very helpful (49.6% as extremely helpful). An ANOVA revealed a significant difference between various learning materials in terms of helpfulness. Post hoc analysis showed that instructional videos were perceived as the second most helpful learning material after "self-execution and feedback."
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The study revealed that students use instructional videos frequently and appreciate them as an extra tool for effective studying.
