Concept mapping is an effective method in teaching and learning, however this
strategy has not been evaluated among electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnosis learning.
This study explored the use of concept maps to assist ECG study, and sought to
analyze whether this method could improve undergraduate students' ECG
interpretation skills. There were 126 undergraduate medical students who were
randomly selected and assigned to two groups, group A (n = 63) and group B (n =
63). Group A was taught to use concept maps to learn ECG diagnosis, while group B
was taught by traditional methods. After the course, all of the students were
assessed by having an ECG diagnostic test. Quantitative data which comprised test
score and ECG features completion index was compared by using the unpaired
Student's t-test between the two groups. Further, a feedback questionnaire on
concept maps used was also completed by group A, comments were evaluated by a
five-point Likert scale. The test scores of ECGs interpretation was 7.36 ± 1.23
in Group A and 6.12 ± 1.39 in Group B. A significant advantage (P = 0.018) of
concept maps was observed in ECG interpretation accuracy. No difference in the
average ECG features completion index was observed between Group A (66.75 ±
15.35%) and Group B (62.93 ± 13.17%). According qualitative analysis, majority of
students accepted concept maps as a helpful tool. Difficult to learn at the
beginning and time consuming are the two problems in using this method,
nevertheless most of the students indicated to continue using it. Concept maps
could be a useful pedagogical tool in enhancing undergraduate medical students'
ECG interpretation skills. Furthermore, students indicated a positive attitude to
it, and perceived it as a resource for learning.
