Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Digital Learning Technologies

Background:

  • Computer-based training (CBT) utilizes multimedia to enhance knowledge acquisition and assessment.
  • Interactive CBT programs can improve the learning process for complex medical subjects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a CBT program for teaching distal radius fractures (DRF) to medical students.
  • To compare the effectiveness of CBT with traditional lecture-based instruction.

Main Methods:

  • A CBT module on DRF was developed using SuperCard, incorporating text, video, and animation.
  • Fourth-year medical students were divided into a CBT group (n=103) and a control lecture group (n=47).
  • Knowledge retention and learning experience were assessed using various criteria.

Main Results:

  • CBT modules scored 15-20% higher than lectures in distinctness, detail, presentation, structure, motivation, time efficiency, and memory retention.
  • 100% of students found CBT helpful, despite limited prior computer experience.
  • Students recommended CBT for exam preparation, self-study, and as lecture supplements.

Conclusions:

  • CBT programs are effective and well-accepted tools for medical education.
  • CBT modules should be integrated into medical curricula as a valuable supplement.
  • Universities should develop and implement CBT systems for surgical residency programs.
