The need for interdisciplinary education in allied health has often been cited, but few studies have been made concerning appropriate learning strategies in such courses. This study examines the concept of cooperative goal structuring and assesses the effect of one cooperative learning technique (group consensus examinations) on the perceptions and achievement of allied health students in an interdisciplinary course. The results indicated that when compared with the traditional (individual) mode of testing, group consensus examinations had a significant positive effect on the perceptions of students regarding the clarity and importance of course topics. Achievement on the unit quizzes was higher, and although no difference was found between the two treatment groups on final examination scores, student performance was superior to that of previous years. A large majority of students indicated they preferred group consensus examinations in this type of course.
联合健康领域对跨学科教育的需求经常被提及，但针对此类课程中合适的学习策略的研究却很少。本研究考察了合作目标构建的概念，并评估了一种合作学习技巧（小组共识考试）对联合健康专业学生在跨学科课程中的认知和成绩的影响。结果表明，与传统（个体）考试模式相比，小组共识考试对学生对课程主题的清晰度和重要性的认知有显著的积极影响。单元测验的成绩更高，虽然两个实验组在期末考试成绩上没有差异，但学生的表现优于前几年。绝大多数学生表示，他们更喜欢这种类型课程中的小组共识考试。
