Abstract Teaching methodology plays a crucial role in effective medical education, particularly in subjects requiring conceptual understanding, visualization, and long-term retention. Traditional chalkboard teaching has historically remained the cornerstone of classroom instruction, whereas technological advancements have introduced multimedia-based teaching modalities such as PowerPoint presentations. Each method possesses unique advantages and limitations that influence student comprehension, engagement, interaction, and academic performance. The present review evaluates and compares PowerPoint-assisted teaching and traditional chalkboard teaching among medical students with respect to learning outcomes, student preferences, conceptual understanding, attentiveness, note-taking ability, classroom interaction, and overall educational effectiveness. Several studies indicate that PowerPoint teaching enhances visualization, organization of content, and time efficiency, whereas chalkboard teaching promotes better interaction, active participation, and gradual concept development.¹˒² A combination of both methods appears to produce optimal teaching-learning outcomes in medical education.³ The article highlights the pedagogical significance of blended teaching approaches in competency-based medical education and emphasizes the need for adaptive teaching strategies that accommodate diverse learning preferences among medical students.
