摘要：Purpose: Medical students tend to attend lectures unprepared before studying the literature for an examination. Would students not profit more from lectures if they study the literature first? Method: One hundred and two students from a Saudi-Arabian medical school were included in the study. Half of them received a four-page text to be studied before a 15-minutes lecture; the other half received the lecture first and then the text. Knowledge level was tested using a concept retrieval test at three points in time, before the experiment, after reading the text, and after attending the lecture. This enabled studying the effects of the various treatments separately. Results: The mean student-scores were as follows: After lecture-only: 54.7±23.5, after reading-only: 45.7±11.2, lecture-then-reading: 69.9±15.8 and reading-then-lecture: 78.2±17.4. The combination of lecture and reading in both groups was statistically significantly different from lecture-only. Reading-then-lecture was significantly better than lecture-then-reading. Conclusion: In contrast to existing practices of students in medical education, it is better to study first before attending a lecture.
