Computer-based training (CBT) in dermatooncology proved more effective than face-to-face team learning for medical students. CBT achieved higher test scores, highlighting its efficiency in delivering complex medical content.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Dermatooncology
  • E-learning

Background:

  • Electronic media are increasingly integrated into medical education.
  • A key question is the comparative effectiveness of digital tutorials versus innovative face-to-face teaching methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of computer-based training (CBT) compared to face-to-face team learning for teaching dermatooncology.
  • To assess student performance in an undergraduate medical curriculum using these distinct educational formats.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 26 undergraduate medical students participated in a dermatooncology course.
  • Content was delivered through both face-to-face sessions emphasizing team learning and web-based CBT modules.
  • Student performance was evaluated using a multiple-choice test.

Main Results:

  • Students achieved significantly higher scores on content delivered via CBT (90.4%) compared to face-to-face team learning (80.6%).
  • A significant correlation was observed between individual student performance in both formats (r = 0.52, p < 0.01).
  • No correlation was found between performance in either teaching format and overall student academic achievement.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-based training demonstrates superior efficiency in conveying dermatooncology content within an undergraduate medical curriculum.
  • CBT may be a more effective method than traditional face-to-face team learning for specific medical topics.
