ENHANCING ANALYTICAL THINKING IN MEDICAL STUDENTS THROUGH DICL: A PATHOPHYSIOLOGY CASE STUDY

Abstract

 The development of analytical thinking skills is a core objective of contemporary medical education, particularly in foundational disciplines such as pathological physiology, where students are required to interpret complex mechanisms of disease. Traditional lecture-based approaches often fail to adequately foster higher-order cognitive skills essential for clinical reasoning. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Digital Interactive Case-Based Learning (DICL) technologies in enhancing analytical thinking among medical students. A controlled educational study was conducted at the Fergana Medical Institute of Public Health involving 278 healthy undergraduate medical students divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was trained using DICL-integrated pathological physiology modules, while the control group received conventional instruction. Analytical thinking performance, academic achievement, and learner engagement were assessed.
