Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This Quasi-Experimental Study evaluated whether microlearning a strategy delivering brief, focused learning units enhances knowledge acquisition and retention among fifth-year medical students studying pediatric spinal deformities compared to a traditional block-format module.

Methods: twenty-four students will be included into two groups. The microlearning group will receive sequential daily learning units over ten days, while the traditional group will engage in a comprehensive two-day self-learning module. Pretest, immediate post-test, and one-month post-intervention assessments will be performed using standardized MCQ and SAQ instruments. Learner engagement, time investment, and content clarity were additionally evaluated via structured surveys.
