Abstract

Background: Teaching of anatomy and physiology are the important basic courses for medical sciences students. If these courses are taught by animations and films, these will be learnt

Methods: This study had been performed in planning of educational course, in cross-sectional study with educational websites such as Ministry of Health, Medical Sciences Universities
and professors’ opinions. These courses had been taught with animations in physiology and anatomy for B group and had been taught without these for A group. Then data had been analyzed in SPSS 11.5, mean, standard deviation, t-test with P<0.05.
Results: Mean grade of anatomy in group B was 19.40±0.64 and in group A was 18.50±0.77 ,with t= -4.102 and P<0.001 and mean grade of physiology in B group was 18.41±1.30 and in A group was 17.99±1.52 ,with t=0.931 and P=0.357.
