Evaluation of an Educational Game for Health Sciences Students.

Ingram, Carolyn; Ray, Karen; Keane, David R.; Landeen, Janet

Journal of Nursing Education, v37 n6 p240-46 Sep 1998

Nursing students (n=131) were randomly assigned to groups; half used an educational game involving problem-based learning, half were conventionally taught. Groups switched treatments in the second term. First-term posttests showed higher scores for the game group; second-term posttests showed no differences, suggesting the impact of the game continued after students stopped using it. (SK)
