Abstract
Introduction : various methods of teaching have different learning outcomes. Using a combination of teaching and training methods of training may boost education. This study compared lecture based and case based teaching as a combined approach in learning general surgery by medical students.
Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental performed on two consecutive groups of 33 and 36 students who were studying general surgery course. The two styles of teaching were lecture-based and real case teaching methods. The final exam included twenty multiple choice questions. The mean scores of each group of students were collected and analyzed accordingly with descriptive tests, Fisher’s test and T-test.
Results: The mean final mark of students' who received real case based education was 16.8/20 ± 1.8 and for the lecture group was 12.7± 1.7. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P <0.0001). In both groups, there were significant differences in the mean scores of questions with taxonomy two and three, but not in the questions with taxonomy one. Students' evaluation score of the teacher of the real case group increased by 1.7/20 (8.7%) in the case based group compared to the lecture group.
Conclusions: Case based teaching of general surgery led to a better outcome and students were more satisfied. It is recommended that case based education of surgery be encouraged.

Abstract
Introduction: Teaching and learning are the most important factors affecting education. Different style of teaching have been used in different countries. This study aimed to compare the effect of lecture-based method versus group discussion method on the perception of achievement and satisfaction of pre-university students in Neka and Behshahr during 2010-2011 semesters .
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study. A questionnaire was developed to pre-test and post-test the perception of satisfaction and achievements of the participants in lecture-based teaching arm (n=138) and group discussion teaching arm (n=144). Overall, 282 participants were randomly selected from the pre-university students studying in Neka and Behshahr.. To assess validity and reliability of the questionnaires, test retest method and Cronbach alfa was measured (α=0.75)
Results: There was a significant difference between the two methods. It was found that students were more satisfied with the lecture-based teaching method and their achievements were higher.
Conclusion: Given the current university entrance exam is centralized and that there is limited infrastructure for group based learning is available, students perceived the lecture based method more satisfying. Concerning the content of the text books and existing evaluation system in pre-university level, it is suggested that policy makers consider the underlying causes of this preference which should be, according to the literature, the other way around.

Abstract
Introduction: The effect of teaching methods on learning process of students will help teachers to improve the quality of teaching by selecting an appropriate method. This study aimed to compare the team- based learning and lecture teaching method on learning-teaching process of nursing students in surgical and internal diseases courses.
Method: This quasi-experimental study was carried on the nursing students in the School of Nursing and Midwifery in Yazd and Meybod cities. Studied sample was all of the students in the sixth term in the Faculty of Nursing in Yazd (48 persons) and the Faculty of Nursing in Meybod (28 persons). The rate of students' learning through lecture was measured using MCQ tests and teaching based on team-based learning (TBL) method was run using MCQ tests (IRAT, GRAT, Appeals and Task group). Therefore, in order to examine the students' satisfaction about the TBL method, a 5-point Likert scale (translated questionnaire) (1=completely disagree, 2= disagree, 3=not effective, 4=agree, and 5=completely agree) consisted of 22 items was utilized. The reliability and validity of this translated questionnaire was measured. The collected data were analyzed through SPSS 17.0 using descriptive and analytical statistic.
Result: The results showed that the mean scores in team-based learning were meaningful in individual assessment (17±84) and assessment group (17.2±1.17). The mean of overall scores in TBL method (17.84±0.98%) was higher compared with the lecture teaching method (16±2.31). Most of the students believed that TBL method has improved their interpersonal and group interaction skills (100%). Among them, 97.7% of students mentioned that this method (TBL) helped them to understand the course content better. The lowest levels of the satisfaction have related to the continuous learning during lifelong (51.2%).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the TBL method led to improving the communication skills, understanding the concepts and facilitate the learning process among students.

Abstract
Introduction: Academic motivation of students in universities is one of the highly important issues in the higher education and university system of any country and is one of the significant indicators in evaluating the quality of the higher education system. One of the important and influential factors on students' academic motivation is the teaching method of faculties in the classroom. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of lecture and mixed training methods for the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia topic on the academic motivation of medical clerks and interns.
Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study (pre-test, post-test, and a control group), which was performed with 100 clerks and interns in the cardiology department of Birjand University of Medical Sciences. The study samples were randomly assigned into two groups (n = 50 cases; n = 50 controls). The subject matter of diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia was taught for 4 hours (2 h per week) using the lecture (traditional) method in the control group and mixed method in the case group. A 20-item researcher-made motivation questionnaire was used to collect data. The data were analyzed in SPSS software version 22 using the independent and paired t-test. The significance level was set at P < 0.05.
Result: The results showed that the mean and standard deviation values of academic motivation at baseline were 65.6 ± 4.47 in the case group and 64.68 ± 6.75 in the control group. In the post-intervention phase, these were 68.42 ± 4.64 in the cases and. 64.4 ± 4.13 in the controls. Therefore, mixed education has a significant effect on the academic motivation of clerks and interns at the significant level of P < 0.05.
Conclusion: The academic motivation of students who were taught using the mixed method was higher than that of the lecture method. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers use mixed teaching methods in the classroom.
