No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized controlled trial will compare three innovative teaching methods-Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), simulation, and escape games-among newly recruited medical interns at Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat, Morocco. The study aims to evaluate their effectiveness in improving knowledge of diabetic ketoacidosis management, retention of knowledge after 4 weeks, and learner motivation. Fifty-one interns will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups. Outcomes will be assessed using multiple-choice knowledge tests at baseline, immediately after training, and 4 weeks later, as well as the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory questionnaire. The results will provide evidence on the most effective and engaging approach to support induction training of new medical interns.

Conditions

  • Medical Education

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

MOOC (E-Learning)

Participants complete a structured Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) hosted on Canvas. The course includes four 4-5 minute video modules on diabetic ketoacidosis, with interactive quizzes between modules.

BEHAVIORAL

Simulation Training

Participants take part in a high-fidelity simulation session using a mannequin programmed for diabetic ketoacidosis management. Each session is followed by a structured debriefing led by the instructor.

BEHAVIORAL

Educational Escape Game

Participants join a 30-minute educational escape game with 10 puzzles that guide them through the diagnosis and management of diabetic ketoacidosis. The activity emphasizes collaboration and problem-solving.
