Medical students taking a course in epidemiology for clinical practice were taught by either lectures, small group seminars or self-learning packages. Examination performances were no different for the three groups, but self-perceived mastery of learning objectives, and satisfaction with the course were higher for students who received self-learning packages. Sixty per cent of self instruction students found the teaching method was successful compared with 37% of the seminar students and only 19% who received lectures. A combination of self-instructional package and seminar would seem to hold most promise for a workable and effective course.
参加临床实践流行病学课程的医学生通过讲座、小组研讨会或自学资料包进行学习。三组学生的考试成绩没有差异，但接受自学资料包的学生对学习目标的自我认知掌握程度以及对课程的满意度更高。60%的自学学生认为教学方法很成功，相比之下，参加研讨会的学生中这一比例为37%，而接受讲座的学生中只有19%这样认为。自学资料包和研讨会相结合似乎最有可能成为一门可行且有效的课程。
