Introduction:
Narratives (as opposed to stories) can assess multiple facets of the same problem through the viewpoints of different characters.
Methods:
Narratives related to three cancer patients, from diagnosis to cure or death, were used to teach seven cancer-related themes in a Cancer Pathology course offered to third-year medical science and science (college) undergraduates.
Results:
The majority of students preferred narrative-based learning compared with traditional learning methods because they felt that it improved their learning experience and retention of information.
Conclusion:
Narrative-based learning may improve the learning experience of students by contextualizing complex concepts and highlighting real-world applications of knowledge.
