An interactive contraceptive teaching session for medical students yielded equivalent knowledge gains compared to a standard lecture. Both teaching methods resulted in high student satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Contraceptive Education
  • Pedagogy in Medicine

Background:

  • Effective contraceptive education is crucial for medical professionals.
  • Traditional didactic lectures are a common method for teaching medical students.
  • Assessing novel teaching methodologies is essential for improving medical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of an interactive teaching session versus a standard lecture for contraceptive education.
  • To evaluate knowledge gain and student satisfaction between two distinct teaching formats.
  • To inform best practices in medical student reproductive health education.

Main Methods:

  • Third-year medical students were divided into two groups: one receiving an interactive lecture, the other a standard lecture.

  • Knowledge gain was measured by comparing pretest and posttest scores.
  • Student satisfaction was assessed using a visual analog scale.

    • Main Results:

    • Both interactive and standard lectures significantly increased student test scores (P < .0001).
    • No significant difference in knowledge gain was observed between the interactive and standard lecture groups (P = .087).
    • Student satisfaction was high for both formats, though significantly greater for the standard lecture (P = .004).

    Conclusions:

    • Interactive contraceptive teaching sessions provide equivalent knowledge acquisition to standard lectures.
    • Both interactive and didactic approaches are effective and well-received learning formats for medical students.
    • Educational strategies in reproductive health can be delivered effectively through various pedagogical methods.
