Backhouse, Simon; Taylor, Darci; Armitage, James A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2019
Understanding orbital anatomy is important for optometry students, but the learning resources available are often fragile, expensive, and accessible only during scheduled classes. Drawing on a constructivist, personalized approach to learning, this study investigated students' perceptions of an alternative learning resource: a three-dimensional…

Choudhury, Bipasha; Gouldsborough, Ingrid; Shaw, Frances L. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2016
The spotter test is an assessment that has been used widely to test practical knowledge of anatomy. Traditional spotter formats often focus solely on knowledge recall, in addition to being an onerous marking burden on staff where consistency in marking free text responses can be questioned. First-year optometry students at the University of…

Use of Interactive Sessions and E-Learning in Teaching Anatomy to First-Year Optometry Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Choudhury, Bipasha; Gouldsborough, Ingrid; Gabriel, Stefan – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2010
Students enrolled in the Optometry program at the University of Manchester are required to take a functional anatomy course during the first year of their studies. Low mean scores in the written examination of this unit for the past two academic years energized staff to rethink the teaching format. Interactive sessions lasting 20 minutes each were…

The Perfect Eye A Novel Model for Teaching the Theory of Refraction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kurtz, Daniel – Optometric Education, 1999
The Perfect Eye model simplifies solutions to a wide variety of optometry instructional problems by facilitating student understanding of the interaction among lenses, objects, accommodation, and ametropia. The model is based on the premise that inside every eye is a perfect (emmetropic) eye, and that the physiological eye is a combination of the…

A Survey of Research Projects in Schools and Colleges of Optometry.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whitener, John C. – Journal of Optometric Education, 1981
A survey undertaken by the American Optometric Association reveals research projects, investigators, and in some cases, funding sources for research in the areas of low vision, ophthalmic lenses, pharmacology, anatomy and pathology, and sensory and motor functions. A total of 205 projects are charted. (MSE)

Integrating Graphics and Speech. A Neural Sciences Computer-Assisted Learning Package.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Levine, Leonard – Optometric Education, 1992
A new optometry-oriented program for the Macintosh computer has been written for the Neural Sciences Computer-Assisted Learning Package to include graphics and synthesized speech. It has 21 modules in 6 categories: anatomical drawings; diagrams illustrating physiological concepts; records from experiments; flow charts of neuroanatomical pathways;…
