Restructuring of laboratory-demonstration classes in the Medical Microbiology Education Programme for the second year at Ege University Faculty of Medicine: Evaluation of preliminary results of students' achievements and feedback

Abstract

Aim: This study aims to present the preliminary results, students' achievement and feedback relating to the restructuring of the Medical Microbiology Laboratory-Demonstration (MM-LD) classes in Ege University Faculty of Medicine (EUFM) 2nd year curriculum. Materials and Methods: The MM-LD classes' objectives have been reviewed and reestablished within the framework of EUFM Phase 3 Education Program and the National Core Curriculum (NCC). During EUFM's 2009-2010 Academic Year, the lectures and demonstrations were given as four separate classes in a way which students would experience in their daily practice and to support comprehension of theoretical knowledge. At the end of the training, the students were asked to complete a structured feedback form containing 12 questions on a 9-point scale. Students also received a knowledge test consisting of 25 questions. The same test was applied five months later as a re-test. Results: The survey was conducted among 351 students who were enrolled in their 2nd year, 284 (80.9%) attended all classes. Feedback forms were answered by 328 (93.4%) students. In their feedback, students found the lectures to be generally good (mean: 6.91). Test and re-test results demonstrated that the students had a high average of correct answers (mean.test1=18,60, mean.test2=19,48). The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) coefficients of the tests were α1=0.62 and α2=0.65, respectively. Conclusion: It was concluded that 2nd year students of the EUFM were highly satisfied with the restructured MM-LD classes and this was reflected positively in their level of knowledge.
