Comparison the Effectiveness of Educational Management Strategy in Morning Report Subject on Self-directed Learning in Medical Students

The recent evidence based experimental research has indicated that Education Management Strategy of sciences (EMS) can apply valuable attributes of different theories to learning improvement. Hence, the attributes of self-directed learning theory were implemented in the course of Morning Report Subject at Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences. In the type of semi-experimental research with pretest and post-test design, 30 selected medical students were randomly divided into two experimental and control group. The research data gathering tool was “Fischer’s Self-directed Learning Readiness” questionnaire. Afterwards, data was analyzed using both T-independent and dependent tests and Effect Size (ES) measurement. The research findings indicated the significant statistical difference between the pre and post-test results of the two groups; in addition, a significant difference between the mean of experimental class was observed to the extent that the mean of education management strategy through using the key factors of self-directed learning theory was higher than the highest grade of students in the control group. According to the results of present evidence-based research, it is suggested that education management strategy embedding key factors of self-directed learning in the Morning Report subject has advantage over traditional class to improve students’ learning
