EDIFY 2025 - Department of Anatomy - "Cognitive Based Teaching & Learning in Anatomy" /
Fulfilling all the expectations on the new theme of Edify 2025 on "Cognitive Based Teaching & Learning" the Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Dental College & Hospitals, SIMATS has given a roaring performance for this season of Edify.
The Edify Session of the Department of Anatomy, SDC was showcased on 20th November 2025.
Mrs. S. Sangeetha, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, addressed and welcomed the gathering for the Edify session. First she described "Cognitive Based Teaching & Learning in Anatomy" the theme of this Edify Cycle. Then the video was played.
The video started with a question raised to BDS students on “Which is the most difficult subject in I BDS?” and the students responded unanimously the answer “Anatomy”. Then the video showcased on the various complications in Anatomy through conventional system of teaching and learning. The video emphasized on “Cognitive-based learning which wasn’t about memorizing facts but it’s about understanding how everyone learn”. It explained the work of various Psychologists such as Jerome S Bruner, Jean Piaget, John Sweller and others on Cognitive Based Learning, which emphasizes that learners actively build knowledge by linking new ideas to what they already know.
The video enthralled that at Saveetha Dental College, Department of Anatomy modernized and improvised the conventional way of teaching and learning Anatomy by using Concept maps, Model making using clay, charts and papers, CLAB - class room integrated with lab, Game based learning and Surgical posting at MAXFAX. This academic year, the Department Faculties were reimagining how anatomy is taught, moving beyond memorization, toward meaningful understanding. The Department has introduced "Cognitive Case Based Teaching & Learning". In this module on case-based learning in Head and Neck Anatomy, students will explore real clinical scenarios of patients - tracing every signs, symptoms and structures back to its anatomical foundation. Each case encourages critical thinking, teamwork, and clinical reasoning - bridging the gap between classroom anatomy theory and its clinical implications. This method makes anatomy come alive, not as isolated facts, but as living systems with purpose and context.
The video showcased that in their study, they compared the academic performance of two batches of first-year anatomy students. The 2024 batch students learned anatomy through the conventional method and 2025 batch students, were introduced a new approach Cognitive-Based Teaching with Case-Based Learning, emphasizing on understanding, application, and clinical reasoning. The 2025 batch showed a significant improvement in their performance — not just in marks, but in their ability to apply anatomy to clinical problems. This data suggests that cognitive case-based learning help students move beyond memorization — toward deep, long-term learning, better understanding, effective retention and stronger clinical understanding which can transform anatomy education to be the best.
The video concluded with Feed backs from 2024 batch student and 2025 batch students. They suggested that anatomy is hard, not because it’s impossible, but because it demands memory, logic, and visualization working together. But when you finally connect those pieces when a diagram starts making sense, it feels amazing. That’s when anatomy stops being a maze and starts becoming a story of the human body to be AMAZED.
After the end of the video respected Pro-Chancellor, Dr. Deepak Nallaswamy Sir, commented that the video was good and nicely done. He suggested to analyze the NEET scores of both the batch students and to run a statistical evaluation on it. This was followed by award session. Pro-Chancellor Sir, Registrar Mam, Dean Sir awarded the “Punctuality Award” to Dr. K. Yuvaraj Babu, Head, Department of Anatomy and “Workaholic Award” to Dr. K. Meenakshi Sundaram, Assistant Professor (Research), Department of Anatomy. Finally the dignitaries awarded the FDP Certificates to the faculties of the Department of Anatomy.
