- Abstract
This quasi-experimental non-equivalent research examined whether master-level physician assistant students improved their learning with a unique teaching methodology, defined as a memory maker, connecting advanced physics concepts to familiar objects. The memory maker cohort (2021) was compared to data from a historical control group (2020) taught using a traditional lecture format. Two instruments were used: an initial knowledge quiz and an attitude survey, with repeat testing at five months. Both groups had better comprehension at the initial quiz compared to repeat testing, where both groups had a decrease in scores; the memory maker cohort had a larger decrease. The initial collection of the memory maker group had improved scores, with repeat testing declining in both groups (p<0.001) and significantly so for the memory maker (p = .003). Further research is recommended to explore unique teaching methodologies, duration, and repetition of instruction.
