The webcast as a Meaningful Learning Strategy in Cardiovascular Physiology
Abstract
Introduction: Nowadays, it is necessary to transform educational activities to include the "digital natives" who currently make up the vast majority of students in the classrooms. This study is the result of an educational research in Health Sciences which is addressed using an innovation methodology based on the incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies, the webcast. Objective: To evaluate the impact on learning of Cardiorespiratory Physiology topics making use of a webcast applied to second-year medicine students of a Colombian university. Methodology: A quasi-experimental study was conducted, which included students who are enrolled in the second year of medicine at a university located in the northeast of Colombia. A standardized knowledge test on respiratory and cardiovascular physiology was used to evaluate the impact on learning. Results: The group instructed using webcast had a better performance in the knowledge test compared to group instructed in master classes ( = 3.47 ± 0.04 versus 3.18 ± 0.03, ±EEM respectively; ANOVA, F= 6.56, p= 0.01). Additionally, a survey was applied regarding aspects of the use and opinions of the materials. Conclusions: A webcast is a methodology that allows the reorganization of training activities which can promote formal thought processes, and achieve the meaningful learning of topics related to cardiovascular physiology. In addition, a good reception of the innovative strategy used was found in students. Also, it allowed them to have a satisfactory performance in knowledge tests which is considered as a good complement to curricula if it is combined it with master classes.
