Evaluation of the Effectiveness of an Advance Organizer in a Medical Microbiology Course.
Slock, James A.; And Others
Journal of Medical Education, v55 n10 p878-80 Oct 1980
An advance organizer is a set of conceptual statements about the unifying ideas of a topic in terms already familiar to the learner. A study is reported that sought to determine whether two presentations of an advance organizer for a unit on pathogenic bacteria would result in increasing medical students' knowledge and ability to solve problems in this area.
