ABSTRACT

Study design: Comparative descriptive survey

Place and duration of study: The online study was conducted in the Department of Gyne. & Obs., Islamic International Medical College Rawalpindi & Sialkot Medical College Sialkot on Ms-Teams from 21st July 2020 to 21st October 2020

Methods: One hundred and one students from 4rth year MBBS participated in the study. Students were taught a given topic on power point presentation and then through a video tutorial online on Ms -Teams. Data was collected using a validated questionnaire. Students were inquired to express their perceptions & attitudes regarding the online teaching method, using a five point Likert scale. All the data was analyzed on SPSS version 20.

Results: Out of 101, there were 38 males and 63 female students with ages ranged between 22 to 26 years. The mean score for video tutorial was higher than the mean score for Power Point in content understandability. There was a statistical difference in content understandability, effectiveness of teaching technique and attitude towards two teaching techniques (P< 0.05). Students had more positive attitude towards watching an online video than PowerPoint, which implied it was more entertaining, engaging and effective. Discussion was more spontaneous with a video tutorial as compared to Power Point. Students were involved more and enjoyed higher level of interaction.

Conclusion: Online video tutorials were more effective as compared to the power-point presentations in content understandability of students and their learning processes.
