2.2. Educational material
Three tasks were prepared for rhinoplasty maneuvers. The two sets of educational materials included theoretical information with figures and the same information with animations. The steps of the surgical maneuvers were explained in both sets.
The two groups of subjects were given educational materials including either theoretical information with figures or the same information with animations. Twenty minutes later, each student was asked questions related to the subject. Then, the students were asked to explain the main idea of the educational material.
In a second step, the first group, which received theoretical information with figures, was given the second educational set, consisting of the same information with animations. Then, the students had the opportunity to compare the difference in the two materials. Finally, the students were asked the same set of questions a second time to evaluate the influence of the second set of educational material.
Task I: Alar cartilages are very important in the constitution of the nose. They may vary in shape and hardness, and they provide the projection of the nose. The nasal septum is an important support for the nose projection. The aim of this task is to show how septum or columellar grafts affect the projection of the nose and to focus on the influence of projection on the shape and position of the nostrils.
