Abstract

Background:-The teaching and learning process is most effective when implemented in an organized way. The National Medical Commission (NMC) revised the traditional curriculum by introducing the competency-based medical education (CBME) , making its implementation mandatory for undergraduate medical courses starting in 2019. Additionally, approaches such as self-directed learning, tutorials, demonstration classes and small group teaching activities foster one-on-one interactions within the groups and make them more active. improving their knowledge, attitudes and overall learning outcome. Aim & Objectives:-The aim of this study is to evaluate and systematically record the perspectives of medical students regarding the recently introduced teaching methods and strategies. Materials and Methods:-A total of 100 first-year MBBS students were selected for the study following approval and clearance from the institutional ethics committee. A questionnaire, developed in English through an extensive literature review and thoroughly validated, was utilized. The teaching and learning methods were analyzed  first for their effectiveness and subsequently for their usefulness. The questionnaire was emailed to all participants via Google Forms, and responses recorded using a five-point Likert scale. The collected data was then systematically processed and analyzed for statistical insights. Results:-The majority of students acknowledged that small-group discussions significantly enhance learning outcomes. Additionally, 37% of the respondents strongly agreed on the effectiveness of demonstration classes and tutorial sessions, while about 36% strongly agreed on their overall usefulness. Conclusions:- Effective teaching and learning play a crucial role in shaping the future of medical graduates, and their successful implementation is key to meeting the evolving needs of the healthcare profession.
