- Abstract
Objective: This study's purpose is to assess data collected during 'Applied Radiological Anatomy Training for Graduate and Specialty Students of Medicine and Dentistry' event, which was organized as part of TÜBİTAK 2237 A Scientific Education Activities Support Program. Methods: A mixed method approach was used in study, combining both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Sample consisted of 33 participants who attended course. To determine changes in their effective learning, simple experimental design with single group pre/post-test was used. Test was classified according to success criteria as follows: 0-39 (Group 1), 40-59 (Group 2), 60-79 (Group 3), 80 and above (Group 4). Data was collected using non-parametric tests for quantitative data and in-depth interview techniques for qualitative data. Analysis of the obtained data was conducted using Kruskal-wallis test and descriptive statistical methods. Results: The average score of participants increased from 54.09±16.036 in pre-test to 77.70±17.125 in post-test. Highest score in pre-test was between 40-59 (n=16), while in post-test, highest score was 80 or above (n=15). Mean difference between post-test and pre-test was calculated as 25.30 (19.23-31.37), and difference was found to be statistically significant (p<0.01). At the end of training, satisfaction score of course was an average of 60.39±8.124 out of maximum of 68 points, with 88.23% of participants giving score of 60 or higher. Open-ended questions that were evaluated qualitatively supported 95.67% of the quantitative data. Conclusion: The study showed a significant difference between pre-and post-test scores in effective learning. Accordingly, it was observed that practical radiological anatomy education positively improved the participants. This education was found to contribute positively to the ability of trainees to read, analyze radiological images, detect pathological conditions, and most importantly, create projects in this field.
