Abstract
Background: The new computer assisted and interactive video instructions have been merged into
teaching system as an efficient method. This method is an effective medium for student
learning, regardless of discipline and its potentials have encouraged instructors
and learners to opt this method.
Purpose: The current study has aimed to compare the traditional lecture method with video
based teaching, in improving the knowledge and skill of Undergraduate Nursing students
on Neurological assessment.
Methods: This quasi experimental study was conducted on 30 undergraduate nursing students
who were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A attended a lecture cum demonstration
method and group B underwent video based teaching on neurological assessment. Learning
level of both the groups was compared by using independent't' test.
Results: In both the groups the post test scores were significantly higher than the pretest
scores, but there was no statistically significant difference between group A and
B. Hence both the teaching methods were found to be equally effective in improving
the knowledge and skill of undergraduate nursing students on neurological assessment.
