Then, physiology of endocrine system was taught to both groups during two semesters, control group was taught through traditional method and the other through combination of CBL and lecture. The headings of the lesson were the same for the two groups. Students were evaluated through post-test at the end of the semester. Data was analyzed by SPSS software using independent T-test.   Results: Although there was no significant difference between the score of final exam between two groups, CBL group students were more satisfied and showed higher motivation compared to the traditional group.   Conclusion: This study showed that using of CBL methods in teaching endocrine physislogy can increase satisfaction and interest in medical students. Moreover, this method motivates students to study more by encouraging them into more group interaction.}, Keywords = {Teaching, Lecture, Physiology, Medical education}, volume = {4}, Number = {1}, pages = {1-8}, publisher = {Guilan University of Medical Sciences}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.rme.4.1.1}, url = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-27-en.html}, eprint = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-27-en.pdf}, journal = {Research in Medical Education}, issn = {2008-952X}, eissn = {2008-7284}, year = {2012} } @article{ author = {Pakniat, H and Movahed, F and Dabagh, T and Ghasemi, Z}, title = {The Effects of Clinical Skills Training on Medical Trainees Performances in Gynecology Ward of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences}, abstract ={  Introduction : Nowadays, clinical skill training to the medical students has important role and Clinical skill center can link theorical and practical skills together.

Conclusion : the present study show that education through workshop had more effect in increasing average level of awareness of practitioner rather than the lecture.}, Keywords = {continuing education, work shop, lecture, general practitioners.}, volume = {4}, Number = {2}, pages = {47-52}, publisher = {Guilan University of Medical Sciences}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.rme.4.2.47}, url = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-26-en.html}, eprint = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-26-en.pdf}, journal = {Research in Medical Education}, issn = {2008-952X}, eissn = {2008-7284}, year = {2012} } @article{ author = {VeisKarami, H A and Garavand, H and NaserianHjiabadi, H and Afsharizadeh, S E and Montazeri, R and MohammadzadeGhasr, A}, title = {A Comparative Study of Functions of Thinking Style and Self-Directed Learning among Nursing and Midwifery Students in Mashhad}, abstract ={  Introduction: Students' thinking styles are effective factors in self-directed learning. This study aimed at comparing functions of thinking style and self-directed learning among nursing and midwifery students in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.   Method : The statistical population in this correlation descriptive study included all undergraduate students (N=550) of Nursing and Midwifery in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. A randomly stratified sample of 214 %27 males and %73 females) received thinking styles questionnaire and Fisher’s Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS). Data were analyzed using descriptive (pearson's Correlation, multiple regression, Mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (MANOVA, independed t- test).   Findings: The results of Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that there was a significantly positive correlation between executive and judicial thinking styles and self-directed learning. The results of multiple regression showed that self-directed learning can be predicted by functions of thinking styles. Independent t-test revealed that there was no significant difference between girl and boy students as to their total self-directed learning scores. Based on MANOVA test results, there was no significant difference between girl and boy students as to the independent variable, self-directed learning (including the components named self-management, desire for learning and self-control).   Conclusion: According to the findings, it seems that professors and educational professions can predict students' readiness for self-directed learning or help them to learn the style of thinking with aware of functions of thinking styles.}, Keywords = { self-Directed learning, Functions, Thinking style, Nursing and Midwifery students }, volume = {4}, Number = {2}, pages = {53-62}, publisher = {Guilan University of Medical Sciences}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.rme.4.2.53}, url = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-99-en.html}, eprint = {http://rme.gums.ac.ir/article-1-99-en.pdf}, journal = {Research in Medical Education}, issn = {2008-952X}, eissn = {2008-7284}, year = {2012} }
