DO CONCEPT MAPS ENHANCE DEEP LEARNING IN MEDICAL STUDENTS STUDYING PUBERTY DISORDERS?
Objective: To study if concept mapping (CM) is a useful learning approach to enhance meaningful learning in final year medical students compared to traditional methods in an undergraduate medical college to improve learning of puberty disorders in Gynaecology.

Objective: To study if concept mapping (CM) is a useful learning approach to enhance meaningful learning in final year medical students compared to traditional methods in an undergraduate medical college to improve learning of puberty disorders in Gynaecology.
Study Design: Quasi experimental study.
Place and Duration of Study: Army Medical College Rawalpindi, from Dec 2016 to Mar 2017.
Methodology: The final year MBBS class was randomized into 2 groups of 100 each that were taught disorders of puberty using interactive lectures of 50 students. One was taught “disorders of puberty” by traditional lecture and the second by CM. There was Delphi agreement of the content of lecture and method of interaction by the faculty of Gynaecology.
