The first batch underwent video-assisted schizophrenia class and didactic lecture in bipolar disorder (BPAD). A crossover of the topics was done. The students underwent pretest and posttest for each topic using the same set of topic-specific validated multiple choice questions and also filled a prevalidated teaching feedback form for each class. Difference between pre- and post-test scores after all classes was significant, indicating effective gain of knowledge by both methods. Feedback analysis indicated that most students favored video-assisted teaching (total mean feedback score - 61.99) compared to the conventional method (total mean feedback score - 60.58). Increase in mean feedback scores indicates the students' preference. Both didactic and video-assisted lectures were effective in terms of knowledge gained and students' f...Continue Reading
