Peer reviewedWoody, Marianne; Albrecht, Susan; Hines, Tina; Hodgson, Tracy – Journal of Nursing Education, 1999
Problem-based learning was implemented through clinical case studies in anatomy and physiology classes for 92 nursing students. The majority found the case studies helpful in learning concepts and applying them to clinical situations. (SK)

Peer reviewedZehr, Connie L.; And Others – Academic Medicine, 1996
A study investigated student use of a collection of self-directed anatomy learning modules designed to help students prepare for tutorial discussions of health care problems. The surveyed students (n=80) reported that module use depended on program level and premedical background in biology, not on tutor or preceptor requirements. Students who…

Direct linkTanner, Kimberly D.; Chatman, Liesl; Allen, Deborah – Cell Biology Education, 2003
Partnerships between members of the scientific community at institutes of higher education and the K-12 education community are an increasingly popular approach to science education reform (Atkin, 1989; Chatman, 2002; Sussman, 1993; NSF, 2003a, 2003b). Although the word "partnership" can mean many things to many people, we use the term…

Peer reviewedSobral, Dejano T. – Medical Teacher, 1998
A self-help group approach was used to enhance medical students' cooperative skills within an elective course. The task profile envisaged included team building, cooperative information search and problem-solving skills, and providing and receiving constructive feedback. Findings suggest that training for productive cooperative learning is useful…

Peer reviewedPercac, Sanja; Armstrong, Elizabeth G. – Medical Teacher, 1998
Discusses the incorporation of a problem-based anatomy course into a traditional curriculum in the School of Medicine at the University of Zagreb. Describes the course, challenges that arose during the transition, and institutional solutions. Students showed a high preference for the active learning process experienced in tutorials over the more…

Peer reviewedPainter, Sherry D. – Academic Medicine, 1994
A survey of 114 U.S. and Canadian medical schools gathered information about the content, organization, and teaching methods of microanatomy courses. Results suggest the courses are relatively conventional, with development of computer-assisted instruction being impeded by availability of other, less-expensive self-instructional tools.…
