Popis: Background: Understanding Physiological concepts is the backbone of Medicine. Active learning strategies can strengthen this process. The aim of this study was to introduce Model construction and its presentation as a self-directed learning tool (SDL) for the subject of Physiology.Method: The 2nd semester, 1st MBBS students Batch 2021-2022 actively worked in groups to construct physical models. Outcome of the educational intervention was calculated through post test scores, assessment of the models by judges, and student feedback regarding the SDL activity of model construction and presentation.Results: The comparison between scores for pre-test (8.1 ± 0.8) and post-test (12.8 ± 2.6) taken at the end showed that there was a statistically significant difference (p
