Abstract

Abstract: The study determined the effect of animated based instruction on the performance of medical students in Gombe State University. Animated visuals in medicine explicitly explain general activity and motion of human body and its organs as instructional aid. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of animated based instruction on the performance of medical students. Non-availability of 3D Interactive Learning triggered the need to carry out a wider research. Quantitative approach (quasi-experimental and descriptive research design) was used to determined pre-performance test of pre-clinical students of medicine, post-performance test and perception of students from medicine and pharmacy on the use of animated visuals as instructional aid. A structured questionnaire was designed for data collection which addressed the perception of the students. The result showed that pre-test performance of the students is below average as indicated by mean value of 48.76 %, and post-test performance of the students is above average as indicated by mean value of 65.45 %, these vindicated that there is significant difference as indicated by t-statistics of 8.102 and p-value of 0.000 are within the recommended threshold of 1.96 minimum and 0.05 maximum respectively, meanwhile, the mean difference is 16.684 % with post-test having the upper scores. The perception of medical students on learning indicated the mean scores of 4.13 to 4.58, while on best mode for teaching anatomy the result indicated mean ranking of 1.30 to 2.22,which showed the students agreed that Animated Based Learning (ABL) is better than traditional didactic learning (TDL); it gives better knowledge of anatomy, it promotes better students participation in learning process, and is more effective in fulfilling learning objectives. Therefore, the study concluded that the intervention of animated based learning for medical students is effective and significant. The study also recommends the Provision of 3D Interactive Learning tools; Medical colleges should have curriculum evaluation mechanism that will embrace dynamics of modern teaching.
