An Innovative Web-based Platform for Enhancement of Outcome-based Learning in Orthopaedics
Recent pedagogical focus has shifted from teacher-orientated knowledge transfer to outcome-based learning.In an undergraduate orthopaedic teaching module, Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) are explicitly specified at the start.For realization of these learning objectives, a web-based SLO Mapping Platform (SMP) supporting multimedia teaching materials is constructed.The objective of this study was to evaluate its acceptance and usefulness for students and teachers.Year 3 and Year 5 medical students were invited to participate by completing a self-administered feedback questionnaire after going through the Orthopaedic Module augmented with the SMP Teachers were invited to complete a similar questionnaire and a questionnaire on their perception of student”s performance during teaching sessions.Student”s academic performance of Med 3 classes at two consecutive academic years without and with the SMP respectively was compared.For the feedback questionnaire, 232 students were recruited.Out of a ”1-6” Likert Scale, the average scores for various items of the questionnaire ranged from 4.67 to 5.08 indicating a very satisfactory outcome.14 teachers participated and a similar Likert Scale was employed.Average scores ranging from 4.58 to 5.14 were noted.Teacher”s evaluation generally indicated that student”s performance during teaching sessions has improved.In alignment with these positive results, student”s academic performance as measured by the module-end summative assessment also improved with implementation of the SMP.Student Learning Outcome, web-based application, teaching web, outcome-based learning The evaluation indicated a very satisfactory outcome for the SMP.Students found the SMP being well organized, having a clear layout and helping them to learn.Given its acceptance and usefulness for an undergraduate orthopaedic program, the SMP can also be beneficial for other parts of the medical curriculum and other teaching programs at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
