Abstract :

The purpose of this research was to determine the relative impact of factors like the deployment of discipline, lectures, and equipments on the learning of medical sciences students. The study was cross-sectional on medical physics field in 2012-2013. The participated medical sciences students were divided into two groups. One group had the restrictions needed; the other was left to go on randomly. A Medical Physics exam was administered to both groups, three times, each time including two chapters of the source book: Introduction to Medical Physics. Scores were compared. Then a questionnaire, based on the same materials that the students had been lectured upon, materials relating to discipline, lecturing, and usage of equipments, was distributed among all participants. Also, they were asked of their own learning efficiency. T-test method was applied. The learning efficiencies for the first group were 95±5, 85±1 and 89±2 (respectively for the three exams) and for the second group were 45±2, 55±10 and 50±12. The deployment of the above mentioned factors has relative impact on the improvement of the students’ learning.
