Integrating the ASSURE Instructional Design Model in the Medical Education System: Applications in the Anatomy Discipline
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.24193/subbpsyped.2025.2.09Keywords:
The ASSURE model, instructional design, innovative learning, anatomyAbstract
The ASSURE model is a methodical framework that incorporates the study of learner characteristics, educational objectives, technology integration, resource selection and use, active student engagement, and ongoing evaluation. The article’s primary goal is to analyse the ASSURE model’s suitability for medical education, with particular emphasis on anatomy instruction. This method highlights the benefits of individualised, interactive, and student-centered learning while offering a comprehensive viewpoint on the ASSURE model’s potential in medical education. The initiative enhances the teaching process by investigating these facets. The concept establishes a standard for integrating cutting-edge technology into medical education, transforming anatomy instruction into a dynamic, engaging, and student-centered process. This method facilitates the production of skilled workers who can adapt to the demands of the contemporary healthcare system.
