Comparison of Text versus Video for Teaching Laparoscopic Knot Tying in the Novice Surgeon: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Effects of video-based, online education on behavioral and knowledge outcomes in sunscreen use: A randomized controlled trial

“…The cognitive model of learning suggests that audio-visual instruction is likely to be more effective than written material [16], and may be particularly useful for conceptual learning [17]. A review of 25 studies using video education revealed that video increased short-term knowledge and was as effective or better than traditional patient educational materials.…”

Comparison of Veterinary Student Ability to Learn 1‐Handed and 2‐Handed Techniques for Surgical Knot Tying

“…Filmed assessments at 5 and 10 minutes of practice time would provide a more detailed analysis of the initial learning occurring in each group. In this and all cited studies, a laboratory setting has been used to assess candidates' performance . We are unaware of studies assessing candidate performance of hand‐tying square knots on living material; however, this limitation is unlikely to change the learning of candidates.…”

“…Documented surgical teaching techniques included simulator training; videos; lecture‐based tuition; and individualized teaching . Previous studies suggest individualized teaching and external feedback can improve students' performance compared with group teaching or self‐study alone.…”

Training on synthetic ethylene-vinyl acetate bench model allows novice medical students to acquire suture skills

“…The adoption of faculty-directed learning was based on the study 28 that showed that this form of teaching is superior to self-directed learning. The tools (videos and textbooks) of teaching used by the control group are recognized as a form of learning technical skills 29,30 . The number of instructors used (one instructor for every four students) was shown to be ideal for teaching suturing skills to medical students 15 .…”
