Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: With the development of technology, anatomy teaching methods are also updated. In this direction, different methods are applied in practical courses. It is foreseen that anatomy lessons will be more useful and laboratory lessons will be active and efficient. Transferring their thoughts and experiences positively or negatively during the education process can motivate the student. We aim to evaluate the thoughts and suggestions of the students with the survey study. Material and Methods: A study was conducted for the practical anatomy education of Ordu University Faculty of Medicine Term II students during the 2022-2023 academic year. A questionnaire study was organised to learn the student's perspective on the practice. A total of 12 questions were asked in the questionnaire. One of these questions was open-ended and the others were multiple choice questions. Except for the open-ended question, the other questions had to be answered. The survey questions were prepared from Google Forms application. The questionnaire prepared in this application was delivered to the students via a link on the social platform. Results: In the questionnaire, students were asked the question 'Which of the auxiliary resources do you mostly use?' The rate of tablet use was high in both genders. The expected frequency for male students to answer 'Textbook' in this question is 1,7. There was no difference between the answers given to this ques-tion in the whole population (p>0,05). In the questionnaire, the students were asked the question 'Do you find the question-answer (mini-exam) technique useful while teaching the laboratory course?' The expected frequency of 'yes' answer is 12,8. There is no difference between the answers given to the this question in the whole population (p>0,05). Conclusion: In conclusion, in this study, students were asked multidimensional questions related to the anatomy course. Positive and negative answers were received and evaluated. According to the results of the study, the inclusion of technology in every stage of the course shows that the anatomy course can be taught more efficiently.
