Microsituations as an Active-Learning Tool To Teach Endocrine Pharmacology and Problem-Solving Skills.
Brandt, Barbara F.; Lubawy, William C.
American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, v62 n3 p333-41 Fall 1998
Microsituations teaching is a case-based, active learning tool developed from cognitive learning theory to teach problem-solving skills to large classes while conserving faculty and other resources. Since implementing this method in an endocrine pharmacology course at the University of Kentucky, student performance on problem-solving examinations has improved. Student evaluation of the method is extremely positive. (Author/MSE)
