Interactive multimedia computer programs significantly improve student knowledge in cardiovascular physiology. Students using the "Electronic Textbook" showed better test scores and final exam grades compared to control groups.

Area of Science:

  • Physiology Education
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Traditional methods of teaching cardiovascular physiology may have limitations.
  • Interactive multimedia offers a novel approach to enhance student learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive multimedia computer program, the "Electronic Textbook in Human Physiology," on student knowledge acquisition.
  • To compare the academic performance of students using the program with a control group.

Main Methods:

  • Administered pre- and post-tests to assess immediate knowledge gain after a two-hour animation program on the Cardiac Cycle and Electrocardiography.
  • Compared final examination scores in cardiovascular physiology between students who used the program and a control group.
  • Collected qualitative feedback from student users.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in immediate post-test scores compared to pre-test scores was observed.
  • Students using the "Electronic Textbook" achieved significantly higher grades in the cardiovascular section of the final examination.
  • User feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

Conclusions:

  • The interactive multimedia program demonstrably enhanced learning in cardiovascular physiology.
  • This technology holds significant potential for improving physiology education and curriculum planning.
