| Popis: | Background: A self-explanatory, multidimensional yet tailor made method is needed to teach complex and intricate networks in Neuroanatomy. Mind maps use a 360 approach-a central theme, radially expanding concepts explained using colours, pictures, interrelated & strategic arrangement. Mind maps are tools of active learning using constructivist theory. Objective: To compare mind mapping and didactic instructional method in learning neuroanatomy for first MBBS students. To assess students’ perception about mind mapping. Methodology: Random controlled cross over study design was used. Pre-validated multiple-choice questions were used to assess the knowledge scores. Knowledge scores were compared by unpaired t and Mann-Whitney u test. Results: Mean Knowledge scores of students in mind mapping group were better than students in didactic lecture group. The difference was statistically significant by applying quantitative [p value 95% confidence interval] and qualitative [p value Conclusion: Mind mapping helps in better recall and is effective in teaching complex conceptual subjects. Keywords: Mind mapping, Neuroanatomy, Recall, Teaching learning method. |
