This computer-based instruction (CBI) program effectively taught cancer examinations and management. Students responded positively, demonstrating good knowledge acquisition and a desire for more cancer education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Oncology
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Multidisciplinary cancer curricula require effective instructional methods.
  • Computer-based instruction (CBI) offers a flexible and engaging learning platform.
  • Integrating practical skills training with theoretical knowledge is crucial in medical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate a CBI program for a multidisciplinary cancer curriculum.
  • To enhance student learning of cancer epidemiology, diagnosis, staging, management, and prognosis.
  • To assess student perceptions and performance within the CBI program.

Main Methods:

  • Developed CBI modules using HyperCard with diverse learning materials (literature, models, multimedia).
  • Structured tutorials across three learning levels: epidemiology/prevention, diagnosis/staging, management/prognosis.

  • Employed questionnaires, focus groups, and a built-in tracking system for evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • The CBI program was well-received by students.
    • Students demonstrated correct answers on test items, indicating successful knowledge acquisition.
    • Students expressed a desire for additional time to study cancer topics.

    Conclusions:

    • CBI is an effective tool for teaching cancer-related knowledge and examination skills.
    • The program design facilitated learning across multiple levels of complexity.
    • Faculty can benefit from insights into implementing similar CBI programs, including potential technological challenges.
