Background: Professionalism is a global quality expected in medical students’ along with clinical skills. Behavioral sciences have been included in 3rd year MBBS curriculum since 2014 at FJMU. The purpose of this change is to enhance Professionalism formally in addition to other areas of the subject. This study aims to determine effectiveness of studying behavioral sciences as a subject in enhancing elements of Professionalism. Subjects and Methods: The mixed-methods study was used and a sample of 240 3rd year medical students was taken by convenient sampling. In the first (quantitative) phase of the study, Penn State College of Medicine Professionalism Questionnaire (PSCOM-PQ) was administered before and after studying behavioral sciences as a subject, to collect pre and post statistical results about students’ attitudes towards professionalism. The results were analyzed by paired sample t-test. In the second (qualitative) phase, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was conducted to reveal the reasons for professionalism development and role of Behavioral Sciences in its development. 8 students were selected by purposeful homogeneous sampling technique. FGD session was audio-taped and transcribed, finally thematic analysis was done. Results: The results showed highly significant increase (p-value= 0.00, t= -74.39, mean= -72, SD= 14.99) in the scores of Professionalism after studying behavioral sciences as a subject. The broad themes identified by FGD were “Professionalism Related Skills Learned through Behavioral Sciences” and “Modes of Information Transfers’ Role in Professionalism Understanding”. The professional skills conceptualized by the students included emotional stability, empathy, psychoeducation, confidentiality, competency and sense of responsibility. The participants felt that professionalism develops by the means of lectures, workshops, role plays, modeling and formal assessment sessions. Conclusion: Study of behavioral science has significant effect in the development of professionalism among MBBS students and is well received by third year MBBS students.

Objectives: To determine preferences and perceptions of medical studentsabout teaching strategies in basic sciences years. Study design: Mixed method study. Placeand Duration: Khawaja Muhammad Safdar Medical College, Sialkot, from March 2014 toJuly, 2014. Methodology: A total of 77 medical students of 3rd year MBBS were selectedthrough non-probability convenient sampling for this study. A questionnaire to know abouttheir preferences and comments about teaching strategies was distributed to the students.A focus group discussion was also carried out to know in depth opinion of students aboutdifferent teaching strategies. Results: Mean age of the medical students was 22.75 ± 1.05years. Twenty one (27.3%) participants were males and 56 (72.7%) females. Out of 77 students,22 preferred interactive lectures; 16, small group discussion; 20 problem based learning, 10preferred demonstration on models. Only 01 students preferred one-way lecture as the bestteaching methodology.More female students (30.3% vs 23.8%) preferred interactive lecturesand more male (28.6% vs 17.8%) students preferred small group discussion as their teachingstrategies. Conclusion: Majority preferred interactive lectures (28.57%) and problem basedlearning (25.98%) as teaching strategies. Aligning our teaching strategies with preferences ofthe medical students will improve learning and academics.

Currently the Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Student Centered Learning (SCL) learning models are starting to be applied in universities with the aim of involving students actively in learning, one of which are Medical students of the UNS FK. One method of these learnings is Small Group Discussion (SGD). This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the SGD learning method that has been applied to Medical students of the UNS FK. The method used in this research is qualitative method. The result was found that the SGD learning method that had been applied was still less effective, but it was more effective compared to conventional learning methods. Therefore, it is necessary to make some improvements to this learning method so that it is more effective and the goal can be achieved.

Background: In present scenario, medical students are over burdened with high academic load making learning more complicated than simple. In the recent past a lot of importance has been given for active learning by implementing various approaches like tutorials, seminars, small group discussionsetc. Small group discussion enhances student-faculty interaction, improves communication skills and provides a platform to exchange of ideas, which will result in deeper learning and better academic achievements by students. Present study was conducted to find out educational outcomes of SDG. The objectives of study were to assess and compare the educational outcomes of student’s performance by 2 methods of teaching- Didactic lectures versus SGD and to assess student’s perception towards small group discussions in Community Medicine.Methods: Total 140 students of 7th semester participated in educational experimental quasi study. These participants were divided in to two groups on bases of systematic random sampling. Group A (Roll.no. 1 to 70) and Group B (Roll.no. 71 to 140). For conducting effective SDG, students were divided in 7 subgroups (10 students in each group). Demography (for group A) and family planning (for group B after cross over) topics were selected for SGD. Feedback from students were also recorded.Results: The post test scores of SGD, group A (15.6±3.55) were higher in comparison with that of the lecture session of group B (8.81 ± 2.8). After the crossover, the students exposed to SGD, group B (13.85±3.81) scored more than the students exposed to the lecture group, group A (9.08±2.94).perception of feedback on SGD shows that 80% of the students strongly opine that SGD has improved their performance.Conclusions: Result has shown that SGDs had a positive impact on performance of the students, the mean values in post-tests of both groups were statistically significant. Around 80% of student strongly agreed that SGD is comprehensive tool for in-depth learning by teacher-student interaction and 79% felt that SDG is better than didactic lecture. Significant changes in student’s performance and retention capacity were observed.

To study and analyze different teaching methodologies like didactic lecture and small group discussion among second BHMS students at MNR HMC. Teaching has got a very important role not only at school level but also in higher education as it can help in generating effective professionals. Materials and Methods: Students were divided into 2 batches of 11 students each. Each batch was exposed for the different teaching methods for same topic. MCQ test of 10 marks was given before and after the session to assess students understanding of the topic. Keeping this in mind the present study was planned to compare the two teaching methodologies. Results: After the small group discussion, the learners scored 70 % in the evaluation test whereas it was 61 % before the session. And after Lecture method, the learners scored 58 % in the evaluation test whereas it was 31 % before session. Conclusion: The study concluded that small group discussion ensured understanding as reflected in the test scores, as compared to Lecture method (i.e., teacher centered teaching).    Keyword: Small group discussion, Lecture method and Homoeopathy.
