摘要：A randomized trial of 265 consenting students was conducted within an introductory
biostatistics course: 69 received eight small group cooperative learning sessions; 97
accessed internet learning sessions; 96 received no intervention. Effect on
examination score (95% CI) was assessed by intent-to-treat analysis and by
incorporating reported participation. No difference was found by intent-to-treat
analysis. After incorporating reported participation, adjusted average improvement
was 1.7 points (-1.8, 5.2) per cooperative session and 2.1 points (-1.4, 5.5) per
internet session after one examination. After four examinations, adjusted average
improvement for four study sessions was 5.3 points (0.4, 10.3) per examination for
cooperative learning and 8.1 points (3.0, 13.2) for internet learning. Consistent
participation in active learning may improve understanding beyond the traditional
classroom.
