Learning management strategy for learning outcome achievement in immunology courses
Keywords:
Medical Technology, Learning Outcomes, ImmunologyAbstract
The learning management in the immunology course for medical technology students revealed issues with understanding and integrating the components of the immune system, as well as calculating serum dilution. To address these problems, the instructors introduced a variety of activity formats designed to enhance both hard and soft skills of the students, in both groups and individual settings. Each activity was tailored to match the individual characteristics of the learners, based on the results of the learner analysis. The effectiveness of these activities was evaluated using scoring rubrics and knowledge tests that had been validated for reliability. The knowledge test results indicated that the activities improved students’ understanding of the subject contents, while feedback from focus groups showed that students enjoyed the activities. When comparing the learning outcomes over the past five years, it was found that adjusting the learning management strategy led to better learning results and achievement of the course learning outcomes.
