Objective: In order to improve the quality of medical
education, it is essential to learn the students' opinions about the lectures
through surveys. For this reason, a questionnaire was applied to the 2nd and
3rd-year students of Dentistry students of Sivas Cumhuriyet University
Method: The study included 150 volunteer students
(88 females and 62 males) who accepted to answer the questionnaire questions. A
questionnaire consisting of 14 questions was applied to the students. The
answers to the questionnaire questions were evaluated by using SPSS 23.0
program.
Results: 48% of the
students stated that the neuroanatomy course should be taught in the first
semester of the second year, and 54% stated that the neurophysiology course
should be taught before the neuroanatomy course. While 45.3% of the students
found the course content sufficient, 42.7% stated that it should be added to
the curriculum in the clinical anatomy course. In addition, 14.7% of the
students think that high-class size makes it challenging to learn practical
courses such as neuroanatomy.
Conclusions: The feedback from
the students shows that given the current content of the neuroanatomy course,
it is more efficient to give the course in the second grade. In addition to the
neuroanatomy course, the inclusion of neurophysiology and clinical anatomy
courses in the curriculum will facilitate learning and be beneficial in
improving the quality of education.
