Supplementary file 1_Integrating TV medical dramas into problem-based learning for medical

An exploratory pilot study by Irene Cambra-Badii from 2026 compared the use of audiovisual triggers from a medical TV series with traditional paper-based cases in problem-based learning for medical students. Two groups of five students each worked on one clinical and one bioethical case presented in different formats, with knowledge tests and questionnaires administered before, immediately after, and six months post-session. The study primarily explored patterns of learning, feasibility, and student perceptions.

Use Cases

• Compare learning outcomes based on knowledge test scores administered before and after sessions
• Analyze student perceptions of engagement and usefulness for different case formats
• Investigate the feasibility and practical challenges of using video segments in educational settings
• Explore long-term knowledge retention patterns based on six-month follow-up assessments

Strengths

• Dataset includes longitudinal data with assessments administered at three time points: before, immediately after, and six months later
• Study design compares two distinct educational formats (audiovisual vs. paper-based) across two case types (clinical and bioethical)
• Data collection includes both quantitative knowledge tests and qualitative self-perception questionnaires

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
