“…By offering on-demand access to educational content, podcasts have featured more prominently in curricula as mobile and asynchronous learning grow in medical education. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Podcasts are well suited for self-directed learning (SDL), with learners independently selecting resources to meet their needs.8…”

Background: Emerging technologies, trainees’ proficiency with digital resources, and the COVID-19 pandemic have increased the role of mobile and asynchronous learning methods in medical education. Educational podcasts have gained popularity in both formal curricula and independent learning, but their impact on educational outcomes has not been well studied. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of third-year medical students during pediatrics clerkship. An educational podcast series titled “Peds Soup” was introduced to students as a voluntary study resource. We surveyed students at the end of the rotation to assess study habits and perceptions of the podcast. We compared survey responses from podcast users and nonusers, and used standardized pediatrics subject examination scores to measure knowledge differences between groups. Results: Eighty-three students participated in the study. Peds Soup listeners (n=43) reported spending significantly more time studying during clerkship (M=16.5, SD=9.0 vs M=12.4, SD=9.2 hours/week, P=.009) than nonlisteners. Users expressed positive views toward the podcast’s impact on introducing, reinforcing, and helping apply knowledge, and endorsed that Peds Soup made it easier to find time to study. Examination scores did not differ between the two groups. Discussion: The podcast demonstrated a reaction-level impact, with users reporting positive attitudes toward the podcast’s impact and spending more time studying during pediatrics clerkship. Podcasts have strong potential as a supplement to existing curricula, where they can fill a need for interested learners. Future research should focus on the relationship between time spent and knowledge gain or utilize alternative measures of knowledge.

The aim of the study is to analyze the formation of clusters in the system of the main forms of the educational process and relevant educational resources used in medical higher education, aimed at identifying hidden patterns in the formation of the request of medical students of 1st – 2nd and senior courses in the areas of medicine and Pediatrics. Lectures in various formats, practical classes, mobile applications, interactive online materials, and medical libraries are defined in the study by the general concept of educational resources. The problem of students’ choice of popular resources that determine the content of individual education is considered. This allowed us to assess their satisfaction and determine the involvement of various elements of clusters of educational resources in the system of mastering new materials, revising it and self-training. The analysis of the main components allows us to identify existing clusters in relation to educational resources, give them a characteristic, definition, and identify differences in structural elements within the framework of the request of students. The results obtained are of practical significance in determining the vector of development of the use of educational resources for successful learning in the new digital environment.
