Attitudes and Examination Performance of Female and Male Medical Students in an Active, Case-Based Learning Programme in Anatomy.

Peplow, Philip

Medical Teacher, v20 n4 p349-55 Jul 1998

An active, case-based project (CBP) learning program in anatomy was evaluated to measure differences between male and female students in perception of the initial discussion sessions as developing deep learning skills, and also in performance on CBP and essay components of the written examination. Females responded more positively to discussion sessions and performed better on the CBP component. (Author/PVD)
