An instructional DVD for gross anatomy dissection improved student performance, particularly for those with lower scores. The DVD provided step-by-step guidance, enhancing learning outcomes in veterinary students.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Anatomy Education
  • Medical Instructional Technology

Background:

  • Gross anatomy dissection is a time-intensive component of veterinary education.
  • Traditional dissection methods can be challenging for students to master within limited timeframes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an in-lab instructional DVD on veterinary student performance during gross anatomy dissection.
  • To determine if supplemental DVD-based instruction improves dissection learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A controlled study involving first-year veterinary students comparing dissection with and without an instructional DVD.
  • Students were divided into two groups: one with DVD access (Blue group) and one without (Orange group).
  • Exam scores were compared between the groups after a single dissection period.

Main Results:

  • While overall mean score differences were not statistically significant, 73% of the DVD group scored 60% or higher compared to 38% in the no-DVD group.
  • The DVD group achieved an average of 2.3 points higher on the exam (out of 49 possible points).
  • The DVD appeared to particularly benefit students with lower baseline scores.

Conclusions:

  • An in-lab instructional DVD can be a valuable tool to support gross anatomy dissection learning in veterinary students.
  • The DVD demonstrated a positive effect on student performance, especially in improving scores for lower-performing students.
  • This technology offers a scalable and accessible method for enhancing anatomical education.
