- Abstract
Objective: Theoretical anatomy education is mainly performed through two-dimensional images. However, learning and teaching three-dimensional (3D) structures with two-dimensional representation is difficult. For this reason, anatomy education requires practical lessons. In recent years, practical anatomy courses have used 3D digital anatomy models (3D-DAM). However, the contribution of integration to theoretical anatomy courses of these models to education has not been discussed. This study will investigate the positive and negative aspects of the theoretical anatomy education we conducted using 3D-DAM. Methods: This study was conducted with students of Bursa Uludağ University Vocational School of Health Services. For this research, an online questionnaire of 5 Likert-type answers was prepared. Volunteers using Anatomylearning.com's 3DDAMs were invited to the study. SPSS28.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: 84.1% of the volunteers in the study said that 3DDAM made it easier for them to understand anatomy lessons. Participants stated that they understood the functional properties of muscles (81.7%) and joints (81.4%) more easily, thanks to the action feature of this software. 82.7% of the participants stated that 3D-DAM increased their interest in the course, and 80% found Anatomylearning.com software useful for studying. 58.5% of the volunteers stated that the applied anatomy course with plastic anatomy models and cadavers would contribute more to their learning process. Conclusion: The students gave feedback that using 3D-DAMs positively affected anatomy education. Therefore, we suggest that arrangements should be made to ensure the use of 3DDAMs in theoretical anatomy education.
