Abstract
Pandemic COVID-19 limits most of the norms and give great impact to the educational sector including veterinary students. Both veterinary anatomy and surgery are important subjects in the veterinary curriculum which require students to practice hands-on during class. However, these activities were restricted during movement control order (MCO). Similar to another medical syllabus, veterinary students are bombarded with many different surgeries and anatomical terms to remember, making it a challenge for them to memorize and explain any procedure in exams. Thus, the anatomical model which resemble the female reproductive organs was built as one of the learning intervention that can help veterinary students throughout the learning process. This study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of the anatomical model towards students’ knowledge of the surgical procedure namely the ovariohysterectomy (OHE). Formerly, a survey involving 103 first-year and second-year veterinary students (75 females, 28 male) was conducted to measure the effectiveness of the model toward students’ knowledge of the procedure. First, the students are required to read provided “Small Animal Surgery” reading material. After gaining prior knowledge of the procedure, they need to answer a questionnaire contained 14 questions related to the anatomy and procedure. Next, they are required to watch the video of using the anatomical model and answered the same questions again. Questionnaires were designed to assess the effectiveness, the rate of the model, helpful in their study and continuity of the model for a different procedure. The scale range from 0 (very unsatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied) for the rate of program and satisfaction. The scale yes or no was used for the remainders. The analysis revealed that 100% of students agreed that the model has improved their knowledge on the procedure and should be continued in future. The satisfaction rate for the model was rated based on its function (95%), colour choice (96%) and structure (93%). 94% of the students agreed that the model is simple and easy to understand. Almost all of the students (93%) agreed that this model helps them to understand the surgery better and prefers to use anatomical model rather than reading the textbook only (97%). In conclusion, these results indicated that anatomical model is a pedagogy that can be applied within veterinary medicine curricular and may lead to a more well-planned intervention for the education module with the positive classroom environment and student experience.
