This study aims to evaluate self-learning in the otolaryngology module and determine the type of self-learning that students prefer and which of these types has a stronger impact on achieving the educational objectives of the module. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was done on the 270 students of studied the otolaryngology module in three consecutive years representing the whole class of the fifth-year medical students along three consecutive years. A Likert scale questionnaire was distributed to measure the students' satisfaction with the current teaching and learning. Results: = .99967). Conclusion: The results showed that the highest students' satisfaction was towards TBL compared to other educational methods. These results encourage clinical educators to insert and implement TBL in most of the integrative curriculum modules, especially that of the clinical years.
