Abstract
Case Based Learning (CBL) is a strategy that has been used in the medical curriculum to develop analytic and diagnostic thinking skills in health professionals and not just a mere accumulation of large amount of knowledge. The goal of CBL is to prepare students for clinical practice, through the use of authentic clini¬cal cases So study is taken up to assess if Case Based learning is a useful tool for teaching Biochemistry. Materials and Method: A Quasi experimental study was taken up involving 1stMBBS students of Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences while attending regular Biochemistry tutorials during Jan-Feb 2017. Students were grouped into two batches based on their roll numbers and all of them were exposed to both CBL & didactic lectures alternatively in 2 weeks and pre test & post test evaluation was conducted for both the groups in the form of MCQ’s and analysis of pre test & post test expressed as Mean and SD was done by paired ‘t’test and feedback questionnaire by evaluating the perception by five point likert scale rating. Results: In this Quasi experimental study taken up, pre test & post test evaluation as twenty MCQ’s carrying one mark each were administered to all the batches A very significant post test performance was observed among the students after the CBL sessions in comparison to didactic lectures .Conclusion: Clinical case studies encourage active learning and the development of higher order thinking skills . Case Based Learning (CBL) can be used and it is effective in the medical curriculum for a better understanding of Biochemistry among the medical students.
