Methods: Quasi experimental study was conducted in both public and private nursing colleges. 53 students selected through convenient sampling participated in the study. Students¡¯ pre-knowledge about a specific disease was assessed through a written test. The students were randomly divided into two groups. Group-A was taught through CIM and group-B was taught through written assignment. Again the post session knowledge was tested and mean differences in pre and post knowledge was identified. Results: The mean score of the pre-test CIM group was 7.17 ¡À 2.87; while their post-test score was 15.29 ¡À 2.81. In contrast the mean score of the pre-test Written Assignment group was 6.41 ¡À 2.96; whereas their posttest written assignment was 14.31 ¡À 2.17. A significant difference between pre and post-test CIM (-8.12) and written assignment (-7.89) was found. It shows that CIM is a bit more effective method than written assignment. Conclusion: The result of this study concluded that Clinical Integrative Map (CIM) produced a bit better result as compared to written assignment. Therefore CIM shall be adopted as teaching method at clinical teaching for improving students¡¯ knowledge. %K Clinical teaching %K Clinical integrative map %K Written assignment %K list of open access journals %K open access %K open access journals %K open access publication %K open access publisher %K open access publishing %K open access journal articles %K imedpub %K imedpub publishing %K insight medical publishing %K imedpub online %U https://www.imedpub.com/articles/effective-teaching-methodology-at-clinical-cim-or-written-assignments.php?aid=23495
