Use of a Novel Typological Chart Study in Zoology to Improve the Learning Outcomes

Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: Background: Animals are organized and classified relative to their evolutionary links and commonalities in an approach termed taxonomy.The strategies used to explain classification and build the students' research foundation are provided in the text and visual series of catalogues, educational publications, illustrations, scientific works, graphics, and images.Methods: Students in higher education learning zoology were the intended target group for assessing their compatibility and drawing conclusions with a source of one-page typological charts of vertebrates and invertebrates.The colored boxes indicated the rank; imagery as supplements, acronyms to assist users in recalling the scientific names together; and the names of the scientists who classified the organisms are featured in the one-page tumbling charts.The classroom research study was split into two groups where G-I was based on the traditional study model and G-II on the typological chart study model. Results:The statistical data analysis of the classroom research reported the enhancement in the learning skills of students in G-II as compared to the traditional mode of study.The Copyright Office of the Government of India registered the one-page classification charts of invertebrates and vertebrates with registration numbers L-86868/2019 and L-87961/2019 due to its uniqueness.Conclusion: Detailed classification of vertebrates and invertebrates is challenging due to the extensive diversity, but a simplified and condensed version of the classification fit on a single page may prove to engage the reader's interest.
