Abstract
Introduction: The concept of CBME was introduced in India in 2018. It is need of the hour to test newer techniques like DOAP in Indian Educational context.
Objectives:
- To compare effectiveness of DOAP with Conventional TL (CTL) method with regards to acquisition of cognitive learning outcomes and psychomotor skills for “Nutritional Assessment of an Individual”.
- To assess and compare subjective opinion of the students on a Satisfaction Scale for both the TL Methods.
- To evaluate feedback on DOAP on a Quantitative Scale and Qualitative method (FGD).
Methods: The study type was Interventional Mixed Method Study. Sample size - 43 in each interventional group. Study participants were Third MBBS (I) students who gave Informed consent. On day one Pretest (MCQ and OSCE) was conducted on the full class. After basal equalization of pre test scores, two groups were formed. On day two, Intervention (DOAP and CTL) was carried out separately in the two groups. Day 3 all participants were subjected to post test. On Day four, cross-over sessions were conducted followed by Satisfaction Sale of both TL Techniques, Feedback on DOAP on Likert-Scale and FGD on a randomly selected sub-sample.
Results: As far as gain of knowledge and skill is considered, both TL techniques were found to be at par with each other. Satisfaction Scale and Quantitative as well as Qualitative (FGD) Feedback on DOAP shows that DOAP is very well accepted by the students.
Conclusion: Students opined that DOAP Sessions must be encouraged.
