Yining Zhao; Yavor Bozhkov; Xiaolei Chen; Katharina Fuchs; Michael Buchfelder; Lars Fester; Daniela Souza de Oliveira; Alessandro Del Vecchio; Thomas Kinfe – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
To date, neuroanatomy education courses are still based on two-dimensional (2D) illustrations combined with cadaver dissections. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of neuroanatomy, we offered mixed reality experience using a head-mounted device (HMD) for medical students during their neuroanatomy course. This pilot study´s purpose was to…

Hands-on courses utilizing preserved human tissues for educational training offer an important pathway to acquire basic anatomical knowledge. Owing to the reevaluation of formaldehyde limits by the European Commission, a joint approach was chosen by the German-speaking anatomies in Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) to find commonalities among…

Messerer, David Alexander Christian; Behr, Jonathan Lukas; Kraft, Sophie Felice; Schön, Michael; Horneffer, Astrid; Kühl, Susanne Julia; Benedikt Seifert, Lukas; Huber-Lang, Markus; Böckers, Tobias Maria; Böckers, Anja – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic required adjustments and limitations in university teaching, thereby challenging teaching concepts in anatomy requiring in-person contact, including the gross anatomy course. Therefore, the present study investigates the impact of COVID-19-associated adjustments on students' perception of the gross anatomy course's importance…

Styn, Amelie; Scheiter, Katharina; Fischer, Martin R.; Shiozawa, Thomas; Behrmann, Felix; Steffan, Adrian; Kugelmann, Daniela; Berndt, Markus – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
The way medical students learn anatomy is constantly evolving. Nowadays, technologies such as tablets support established learning methods like drawing. In this study, the effect of drawing on a tablet on medical students' anatomy learning was investigated compared to drawing or summarizing on paper. The quality of drawings or summaries was…

Damerau, Karsten; Beudels, Melanie Marita; Börtitz, Christine; El Balti, Nadja; Funk, Laura; Westerholt, Debora; Cohnen, Julia; Preisfeld, Angelika – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2022
Primary school students often do not have differentiated conceptions of human organs and organ systems. As understanding the inner structure of the human body is an elementary prerequisite for the development of health awareness, appropriate forms of teaching must be developed to modify students' fragmented preconceptions about the inside of their…

Darici, Dogus; Schneider, Agnes Yüeh-Dan; Missler, Markus; Pfleiderer, Bettina – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Sex and gender bias in anatomy learning materials are considered a "hidden obstacle" to gender equity in medical curricula. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether quantitative sex and gender biases do exist in popular anatomy e-learning platforms and compare the results with those found in contemporary textbooks and…

Morris Gellisch; Juliane Cramer; Justin Trenkel; Franziska Bäker; Martin Bablok; Gabriela Morosan-Puopolo; Thorsten Schäfer; Beate Brand-Saberi – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward the digitization of education, highlighting the need to understand how different learning modalities impact medical student outcomes. This study analyzes user behavior among medical students in Microscopic Anatomy, focusing on preferences for digital versus face-to-face guided self-study. A…

Binder, Johannes S.; Scholz, Michael; Ellmann, Stephan; Uder, Michael; Grützmann, Robert; Weber, Georg F.; Krautz, Christian – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
Integration of medical imaging into preclinical anatomy courses is already underway in many medical schools. However, interpretation of two-dimensional grayscale images is difficult and conventional volume rendering techniques provide only images of limited quality. In this regard, a more photorealistic visualization provided by Cinematic…

Rüsseler, Jascha; Arendt, Denise; Münte, Thomas F.; Mohammadi, Bahram; Boltzmann, Melanie – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2021
Testing language abilities is common in the context of migration. It has been observed that approximately 6.2 million adults in Germany are low literate and that approximately 47% of this group does not have German as their L1. Similar findings have been reported for other modern Western societies with compulsory schooling and a well-developed…

Gloy, Kilian; Weyhe, Paul; Nerenz, Eric; Kaluschke, Maximilian; Uslar, Verena; Zachmann, Gabriel; Weyhe, Dirk – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
In order to improve learning efficiency and memory retention in medical teaching, furthering active learning seems to be an effective alternative to classical teaching. One option to make active exploration of the subject matter possible is the use of virtual reality (VR) technology. The authors developed an immersive anatomy atlas which allows…

Shiozawa, Thomas; Glauben, Markus; Banzhaf, Michael; Griewatz, Jan; Hirt, Bernhard; Zipfel, Stephan; Lammerding-Koeppel, Maria; Herrmann-Werner, Anne – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
The professional behavior of future doctors is increasingly important in medical education. One of the first subjects in the curriculum to address this issue is gross anatomy. The Tuebingen Medical Faculty implemented a learning portfolio and a seminar on medical professionalism during the dissection course. The aims of this research project are…

Niedermair, Julian F.; Antipova, Veronica; Manhal, Simone; Siwetz, Martin; Wimmer-Röll, Monika; Hammer, Niels; Fellner, Franz A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Technological approaches deploying three-dimensional visualization to integrate virtual anatomy are increasingly used to provide medical students with state-of-the-art teaching. It is unclear to date to which extent virtual anatomy may help replace the dissection course. Medical students of Johannes Kepler University attend both a dissection and a…

Alvarez, Simone; Schultz, Jobst-Hendrik – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2019
There are many benefits to peer and near-peer tutoring. The current literature suggests that near-peer teaching within the domain of gross anatomy may lead to the development of numerous competencies for burgeoning medical professionals. The aim of this study was a quantitative and qualitative approach to explore which professional and personal…

PaaBen, Benjamin; Bertsch, Andreas; Langer-Fischer, Katharina; Rüdian, Sylvio; Wang, Xia; Sinha, Rupali; Kuzilek, Jakub; Britsch, Stefan; Pinkwart, Niels – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Many modern anatomy curricula teach histology using virtual microscopes, where students inspect tissue slices in a computer program (e.g. a web browser). However, the educational data mining (EDM) potential of these virtual microscopes remains under-utilized. In this paper, we use EDM techniques to investigate three research questions on a virtual…

Iaconisi, Julia; Hasselblatt, Friederike; Mayer, Benjamin; Schoen, Michael; Böckers, Tobias Maria; Böckers, Anja – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2019
While most German anatomy institutes provide only limited information about body donors and their lives, students have expressed a desire to learn more about these individuals, especially about their motivations to donate their bodies for the sake of medical education. In order to gratify this wish, as well as to further humanize body donors, an…
