Introduction: The lesson plan is one of the most important factors involved in the process of students' education, which, in addition to improving their views on the quality of education, also makes the activities of students and professors more targeted. The current study was designed and carried out to evaluate the degree of conformity of the lesson plan presented and implemented by the Basic Sciences Department of Medicine.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, which was conducted cross-sectionally in the second semester of 1399-1400, 176 students of general medicine at the basic science level participated. The lesson plans of all basic medical science courses were examined. At the beginning of the semester, all the lesson plans were uploaded to the website of “Tabib” by the lecturers. The degree of conformity of the lesson plan with the teaching style of the lecturers was recorded based on the opinion of the students and using a 20-question questionnaire. In the end, the obtained data were analyzed based on the Chi-square and Fisher test and using STATA version 14 software.
Results: The degree of compliance in all studied areas was 70% or higher, except for “Teaching method and presented lesson plan” and “Education content and presented lesson plan”. The highest level of conformity was observed in “Teaching aid methods and lesson plans provided”, so 77% had acceptable compliance and 50% had good and excellent compliance.
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that the compliance rates of the presented with implemented lesson plans were optimal. Considering the importance of the subject, it is better to improve the quality of lesson plan presentations by continuous training of lecturers in the form of educational workshops.
