Introduction: Concept mapping is used as an active teaching method in order to better learning and improve learners' clinical reasoning and decision-making in complex learning environments such as surgery. One of the groups whose knowledge and skills play an important role in the performance of the surgical team are surgical technologists who are present in both scrub and circulating roles in the surgical team. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of concept mapping and lecture teaching method on the surgical technologist students' level of learning, retention and satisfaction .
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study using pre-test and post-test methods, which was performed on 60 surgical technologist students. Study samples were selected by census method with inclusion characteristics. Then they were divided into two groups of intervention and control and were trained with two methods of concept mapping and lecture. Before and after training, their learning rate was assessed and compared using a multiple choice question written test. Student retention was assessed 4 weeks after the last session. Also satisfaction with the two teaching method was assessed in two groups at the end of the last session through a research made questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software.
Results: The results of the study showed that students' learning, retention and satisfaction after teaching by concept mapping method was significantly higher than the lecture method. (0.001> P).
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, teaching by concept mapping as an active teaching method increases the learning, retention and satisfaction of surgical technologist students. Therefore, using this teaching method is recommended to training of medical education learners in complex education environments such as surgical technologist.
