Computer-based learning (CBL) in medical education showed declining student attitudes despite similar learning outcomes. This suggests curriculum-wide implementation of CBL may face challenges due to user discouragement.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Curriculum-wide implementation of computer-based learning (CBL) in undergraduate medical education is challenging.
  • Pilot tests often show high dropout rates and low long-term acceptance of CBL programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of a new, curriculum-wide implementable CBL program on Year 3 medical students' attitudes towards CBL.
  • To assess the impact of a comprehensive CBL program on student attitudes and learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A controlled randomized study involving 167 Year 3 medical students in a mandatory pharmacology course.
  • Attitudes towards CBL were measured using psychometric scales, and knowledge was assessed via multiple-choice pre- and post-tests.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Attitudes towards CBL significantly worsened in the CBL group (n=70) compared to the control group (n=97).
  • Perceived program quality was rated as average, potentially contributing to negative attitude shifts.
  • Learning outcomes were comparable between groups, but learning efforts shifted from self-study to CBL.

Conclusions:

  • Initial student enthusiasm for CBL did not persist when it complemented or replaced traditional teaching.
  • Discouragement among users may hinder the successful curriculum-wide implementation of computer-based learning in medical education.
