| Abstract | The objective of the current prospective randomized study was to evaluate effectiveness of traditional lecture as compared to CAL process on study model analysis for undergraduate dental students. The study comprised of forty students randomly allocated to two groups stratified on pre-test GPA scores. One group received traditional lecture and the other received the CAL module. The effectiveness was assessed immediately and ninety days after the teaching process by paired‘t’ test. There was significant improvement in the knowledge gained in both groups however difference between the two groups were statistically insignificant immediately after the teaching process. After retention period it was observed that the CAL group retained the knowledge significantly better than the traditional lecture group. It was concluded that CAL can be an effective teaching aid and should be seen as complimentary to other contact teaching methods more suited for clinical skills and attitudes. |
