Comparison of online, face-to-face and video-based teaching methods in anatomy education of medical faculty students

There are many opinions on the effectiveness of the methods used in anatomy education. The aim of the study is to determine the superiority of online, video-based, and face-to-face education methods over each other. A total of 80 students, 41 female, and 39 male, participated at Malatya Turgut Ozal University Faculty of Medicine to study. A questionnaire consisting of 20 questions, seven questions questioning demographic information and internet activity, and 13 queries about anatomy education was applied by online submission. The students consider that video-recorded education is effective in terms of time management with %75, three-dimensional digital resources are effective with 47.5%, more concentrated in face-to-face education than online education with 48.8%, face-to-face education is sufficient in professionality in medical applications with 58.8%. The students stated that both face-to-face and video-recorded education were effective at a high rate, with 73.8%. In addition, anatomy lectures should be based on theory and practice, and face-to-face & video-recorded education to be together with practical education 70%. The correlation results demonstrate that the benefit of teaching method, concentration, and benefit on professionality have the highest level of correlation with other educational landmarks. Face to face method is effective in concentration and community, and the video-recorded education method is effective in time management in anatomy education. Therefore both face-to-face and video-based education called the hybrid education method, is effective in anatomy education. [Med-Science 2023; 12(3.000): 803-11
