Abstract
Learning metabolic pathways in biochemistry is a very tedious. Monotonous and uninteresting to the MBBS phase I students. Role playing is an upcoming teaching approach in medical education as it provides a better understanding of the subject and to make the learning more interesting and joyous. So this study was conducted to known the learning outcome for metabolic pathways by a role play method of teaching. Fifty MBBS Phase I students were divided into two groups 1 and 2. First 25 included in group 1 and second 25 in group 2, each group containing 25 students. Then crossover of the groups and teaching learning methods was done so that both the groups were exposed to both teaching learning methods (traditional chalk and talk method and role play method). In the present study there was no statistically significant difference in learning outcome of the students using traditional method and role play method of teaching for the metabolic pathway in Biochemistry by MBBS phase I students. In open ended feedback and six questionnaires feedback form, students felt role play as a better method to learn metabolic pathway than traditional chalk and talk teaching method. The study concludes that role‐play is an active and easy method to understand the core concepts and features involved in metabolic pathways.
