About this study
Official title: Investigation of the Effect of Magnified Carpal Bones Produced With High Resolution 3D Resin Printer on Students' Theoretical and Practical Anatomy Grades and Learning Levels
3D modeling enables medical professionals or students to better understand complex structures. In many studies, 3D printed models have been used in the training, treatment and surgery of medical disciplines such as neuroscience, cardiovascular surgery and otolaryngology. In addition, 3D modeling allows patients' magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) images to be transferred to 3D printers to print these complex structures.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Anatomy Training with Enlarged %100 3D Printed Carpal Model GroupOther
After completing the general terminology part of the anatomy education in the first year, the participants will be recruited without moving on to the hand section of the upper extremity. Participants will undergo a 2-hour extra-curricular training, 60 minutes theoretical and 60 minutes practical. The training period will consist of 60 minutes of practical and theoretical lectures to be the same as the time allocated in the normal curriculum of the region. A 60-minute theoretical lecture on the anatomy of the carpal bone supported by 2-dimensional anatomical pictures will be given to both groups at the same time. Then they will take the practical lesson with carpal bones printed with 100% magnification on a 3D printer for 60 minutes.
Anatomy Training with Enlarged %50 3D Printed Carpal Model GroupOther
After completing the general terminology part of the anatomy education in the first year, the participants will be recruited without moving on to the hand section of the upper extremity. Participants will undergo a 2-hour extra-curricular training, 60 minutes theoretical and 30 minutes practical. The training period will consist of 60 minutes of practical and theoretical lectures to be the same as the time allocated in the normal curriculum of the region. A 60-minute theoretical lecture on the anatomy of the carpal bone supported by 2-dimensional anatomical pictures will be given to both groups at the same time. Then they will take the practical lesson with carpal bones printed with 50% magnification on a 3D printer for 60 minutes.
Anatomy Training with Conventional Carpal ModelsOther
After completing the general terminology part of the anatomy education in the first year, the participants will be recruited without moving on to the hand section of the upper extremity. Participants will undergo a 2-hour extra-curricular training, 60 minutes theoretical and 60 minutes practical. The training period will consist of 60 minutes of practical and theoretical lectures to be the same as the time allocated in the normal curriculum of the region. A 60-minute theoretical lecture on the anatomy of the carpal bone supported by 2-dimensional anatomical pictures will be given to both groups at the same time. They will then have a 60 minutes practical lesson with a standard sized printed model.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Quiz Scores
In order to measure the anatomical terminology and general knowledge of the students, a general test will be applied before the pre-test and the groups will be distributed according to this test score. Then, a total of 20 theoretical and 20 practical questions of 10 questions each will be prepared to be used in the pre-test and post-test. The questions will be under the headings of bony prominences, neighborhood, important structures, adhesion sites and function.
Measured: 1 hour
Secondary outcomes (4)
Model rating with Visual Analogue Scale
After the completion of the final exam, a visual analog scale will be used to evaluate the model. Participants will mark the level of detail, appropriateness of weight, ease of learning, ease of grasping and direct manipulation, and ease of distinguishing details/details on a 10 cm long straight line.
Measured: 1 hour
Academic motivation Scale
The Test-Taking Motivation questionnaire scale will be used to assess the motivation of the participants. The scale consists of 22 questions and 7 subscales and assesses amotivation, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
Measured: 1 hour
Test Anxiety Inventory
A short version of the 5-item Test Anxiety Inventory consisting of 5 questions will be used to examine whether there is a change in the amount of anxiety students experience during the exam.
Measured: 1 hour
Enjoyment and Ease of Use Assessmen
Participants will fill out a feedback questionnaire regarding the learning instruments using visual analogue scale.
Measured: 1 hour

Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Quiz Scores (time frame: 1 hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Aug 2026.
