Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Neuroanatomy
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Traditional anatomy lectures struggle to engage diverse student learning styles.
  • Neuroanatomy presents unique challenges in comprehension and retention.
  • Innovative teaching methods are needed to enhance student interest and reduce stress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the 'Acting-out' method for teaching complex neuroanatomical systems.
  • To assess the effectiveness of immersive, role-playing-based learning in anatomy education.
  • To explore how physical embodiment of structures improves spatial understanding and memory retention.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the 'Acting-out' method: collaborative creation of enlarged neurological models.
  • Students engage in role-playing scenarios, embodying specific nerve structures.
  • Utilized immersive 3D models and peer teaching within the 'Acting-out' framework.

Main Results:

  • The 'Acting-out' method successfully engaged students in learning neuroanatomy.
  • Immersive role-play enhanced spatial understanding, collaboration, and critical thinking.
  • Physical embodiment and peer teaching facilitated deeper comprehension and memory retention.

Conclusions:

  • The 'Acting-out' method offers an effective, unconventional approach to anatomy education.
  • This pedagogical strategy aligns with modern principles, promoting active and experiential learning.
  • Educators can leverage such methods to create transformative learning experiences for future medical professionals.
