Title

Z to A approach as a novel and innovative method in teaching Biochemistry for 1st MBBS students

Abstract

Introduction: Z to A approach is an innovative technique which explains application of particular concept first and the concept itself later. It has not been used in medical education so far. So, this innovative method, called Z to A technique can be used in teaching biochemistry more effectively. Hence, the present study was undertaken (i) To show that Z to A technique is one of the effective teaching method and (ii)To study the Students’ perception about Z-A approach.Method: Two topics were taught using traditional lecture. Another 2 similar topics were taught by using Z to A approach. In Z-A approach, induction of the class was done with MCQs related to topic asking students to choose their answers and then the topic was taught. A post test was conducted for both methods at the end of the class. The post test scores of two methods were compared using Mann Whitney U test. Students’ perception about method was also obtained with a questionnaire using Likert’s scale.Results:It was found that mean post-test score by Z to A approach was better than traditional method which was statistically significant (p value- 0.001)Most of the students agreed that this method helped in concentrating in class, creating interest, improving learning & promoting active participation.Conclusion: Z to A approach is an useful innovative method for teaching biochemistry for 1st MBBS students. Hence Z to A approach can be used in teaching not only biochemistry but any subject for medical students which can help them develop interest in the topic and concentrate better through the class.
