Chatgpt vs traditional pedagogy: a comparative study in urological learning.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Technological evolution is radically changing medical learning models. We evaluated the learning outcomes of urological concepts using ChatGPT, traditional lecture and combined approach.

Methods

We conducted a randomized triple-blind study on 121 medical students with no previous formal curriculum in urology. Students were randomly divided into three study classes with different learning methods: ChatGPT, Lecture and ChatGPT + Lecture. The "adrenal glands" were randomly extracted as the subject of the lessons. Students were evaluated using a thirty-question test.

Results

The evaluation test median score was higher for students who underwent ChatGPT + Lecture compared with those who had only ChatGPT (10 vs. 12, p = 0.007). Such differences remained statisticall
