Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 14
Abstract
BACKGROUND Integrated teaching, an important educational strategy, is the need of the hour. It has to be an important aspect of the modified curriculum. This study was carried out with the following objectives1. To compare the perception of preclinical, paraclinical and clinical faculty on vertical integration. 2. To determine the faculty perception on effectiveness of vertical integration. 3. To determine the difficulties in execution of vertical integration. METHODS Study Design- Cross sectional observational study. Place of Study- SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, Odisha. Study Period- Oct 2017 to Dec 2017. Study Subjects- 20 preclinical, 36 para-clinical and 63 clinical, teaching faculties. Study Sampling- 50% of faculties willing to participate were selected by simple random sampling. Study Instrument- Pre-designed & pre-tested self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS Out of 20, 36 & 63 faculties, 55 % pre-clinical and 55.55% para-clinical and 77.42% clinical faculties agreed to go for integrated teaching. 67.74 % clinical faculties felt that there was unnecessary repetition of the chapters in the present scenario. 8.06% clinical faculties perceived that students are confused without clinical correlation. 90.67% preclinical, 61% para-clinical and 87.10 % clinical faculties perceived that it is difficult for the students to understand and gain mastery over the subject without clinical correlation. 60.99% preclinical, 66.67 para-clinical and. 67.74% clinical faculties felt that students find it difficult to connect themselves with topics of different disciplines when they are taught at different times without any integration. 90.01% preclinical, 88.89% para-clinical and 95.16% clinical faculties have agreed that problem based learning will be the chief motto of vertical integration. 90% preclinical, 88.89% paraclinical and 87.10% clinical faculties agreed that learning will become more interesting if integrated teaching is followed. That improvement in cognitive and psychomotor domains will be achieved in vertical integration was noted by 60.43%, 83.33% and 83.87% of the pre, para and clinical faculties. 85.23% preclinical, 88.89% para clinical and 74.19% clinical faculty agreed to the fact that integrated teaching will facilitate better interdisciplinary coordination. 92.76% clinical, 79.45% para-clinical, and 84.32% pre-clinical faculties agreed that integration would help in appreciation and application of the basic science knowledge to different diseases. CONCLUSIONS Most of the faculties perceived that vertical integration would facilitate learning. Most of the faculties opined that integration from entry level to completion, will improve understanding.
