Summary

This prospective randomized study aims to compare the impact of three Case-Based Learning (CBL) approaches on knowledge acquisition, knowledge retention, and clinical reasoning development among third-year medical students during their obstetrics and gynecology rotation.

Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups: CBL without concept mapping, CBL with a teacher-constructed concept map, or CBL with a concept map co-constructed by students during the learning session. Knowledge acquisition and retention are assessed using pre-tests, immediate post-tests, and delayed post-tests. Clinical reasoning and knowledge organization are evaluated using a synthesis exercise.

The study seeks to determine whether concept mapping and the modality of its integration into CBL enhance learning outcomes and clinical reasoning skills in undergraduate medical education.
