The Use of Digital Illustrators in Histology Practicum Learning of Medical Students In Gorontalo: Perception Study

Abstract

Introduction: Medical students need to learn histology to understand the relation between microscopic structure and function of cells and tissues. Pictures of manual preparation made by students can be used as notes and can describe students' understanding of the observed structures. Producing good pictures in a short time is a challenge for medical students. The use of digital illustrator technology is expected to be a solution to overcoming these problems. This study aims to measure the perception of acceptance and satisfaction rate of medical students in Gorontalo towards digital illustrators in apprehend histology practicum.Method: Cross-sectional descriptive survey with modified questionnaires from previous studies. The sampling technique used purposive sampling and involved 54 first-year students. The raw data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The mean value calculated for each item was compared with the theoretical mean value of 2.50 to determine whether the respondents agreed with the statement.Results: All items have an average rating exceeding the theoretical mean of 2.50. Also, the mean of 3.91 (SD = 0.58) for all items substantially exceeds the theoretical mean. Items with the highest perceived rate of perceived utility, ease of use, intention to use, and actual use of digital illustrator teaching materials in learning practical skills will significantly increase students' motivation, interest, and acquisition of practical skills.Conclusion: the use of digital illustrators is perceived positively by medical students in helping histology practicum learning, which is indicated by the high rate of acceptance and rate of satisfaction with its use.

The Influence of Modified Anatomical Jendral Playing Cards in Improving Medical Student Learning Outcomes

“…17 The increase in response results among respondents was because respondents were given treatment in the form of learning media in the form of modified anatomy cardsPlaying respondents who have comprehensive theoretical knowledge are able to implement the theory well. 22 Apart from previous research which supports that the use of learning media in the form of games can improve learning outcomes, respondents in this study also provided feedback that they felt helped in the learning process because of General Anatomy Modification.Playing Cards It is packaged in a simple and educational way and they feel happy playing these cards because it provides motivation to learn by encouraging them to compete with their gaming group friends. In accordance with the results that researchers got from playing Generals Anatomy ModificationPlaying Cards improve the results of the anatomical response of the musculoskeletal system of FK UNG students.…”

Comparison of Histology Practicum Exam Results Based on the Learning Style of Medical Students

“…10 Kegiatan pendidikan dan pembelajaran histologi lebih banyak menerapkan pengamatan preparat pada mikroskop, melakukan visualisasi dengan menggambarkannya, serta menunjuk bagian-bagian struktur terkait. [11][12][13] Sistem pembelajaran histologi dengan cara tersebut juga diterapkan pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, khususnya pada kegiatan praktikum. Pembelajaran histologi lebih melibatkan pada kegiatan praktikum yang dilakukan dengan mengamati preparat jaringan di bawah mikroskop menggunakan mata secara langsung, sehingga dapat dilihat bahwa sebagian besar praktikum histologi cenderung melibatkan pendekatan gaya belajar visual.…”

“…Namun, jenis kelamin tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap preferensi gaya belajar pada mahasiswa kedokteran. 13,20 Sedangkan pada karakteristik gaya belajar, auditorial merupakan gaya belajar dengan hasil jumlah paling banyak dalam penelitian ini. kinestetik.…”
