Abstract

Background: Storytelling is a powerful educational method that encourages reflection and deeper understanding of complex concepts. Storytelling as a learner is commonly used in other disciplines, yet its application in Medical education is limited. This study sought to evaluate the use of storytelling as a pedagogical approach in a workshop with medical students and assess its impact on students’ knowledge and attitudes towards core concepts of Medical education. Methods: Interactive workshops were implemented using a storytelling approach based on a fictional diary of a dental student. Participants engaged in story-based discussions in a book-club format, followed by introduction of the main educatio by the facilitator. A pre-post questionnaire was used to assess students’ knowledge and attitudes. Quantitative data were analyzed with paired t-tests, and Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess internal consistency. Participants’ open-ended feedback was reviewed thematically to better understand perceptions of students regarding the storytelling method. Results: Out of 80 participants, 76 finished the pre-and post-tests (95 percent response rate). Post-workshop scores showed notable improvements in knowledge (Mean±SD: 12. 9±2. 3 to 17. 8±1. 9,P<0. 001) and attitudes (Likert mean score: 3. 4±0. 6 to 4. 2±0. 5,P<0. 001). The internal consistency of the questionnaire was acceptable (Cronbach’s α=0. 82). participants gave positive comments, and emphasized how memorable and captivating the workshops were. Conclusion: Storytelling is a powerful teaching method in Medical education that can increase students’ emotional and cognitive engagement. It encourages reflection, active learning, and higher levels of learner satisfaction.
