Assessment of the Effect of Educational Animations in Physiology and Anatomy Teaching on Occupational Health Student's Learning

Teaching of anatomy and physiology are the important basic courses for medical sciences students. If these courses are taught by animations and films, these will be learnt better by students. The objective was to determine the of effect of educational animations in teaching of anatomy and physiology of organ systems on occupational health students’ learning. This study had been performed in planning of educational course, in cross-sectional study with educational websites such as Ministry of Health, Medical Sciences Universities and professors’ opinions. These courses had been taught with animations in physiology and anatomy for B group and had been taught without these for A group. Then data had been analyzed in SPSS 11.5, mean, standard deviation, t-test with P<0.05. Mean grade of anatomy in group B was 19.40±0.64 and in group A was 18.50±0.77, with t= -4.102 and P<0.001 and mean grade of physiology in B group was 18.41±1.30 and in A group was 17.99±1.52, with t=0.931 and P=0.357. This teaching was good for learn of anatomy and some chapters of physiology.
