The ageing game is a teaching method for up to 30 students (in all medical and paramedical disciplines) which allows maximum student involvement. It consists essentially of 90 individual cards, each of which bears a statement relevant to ageing or the practice of medicine in old age. The statements may be true, false or doubtful. Students are dealt a proportion of the cards each and by discussion together and exchange between each other attempt to assemble a group in which all the statements are true. Students are subsequently combined in twos and fours and the final part of the game consists of an adjudication of the cards held by each group, allowing the teacher plenty of scope to comment on the various statements.
“衰老游戏”是一种面向多达30名学生(涵盖所有医学和准医学学科)的教学方法,能让学生最大限度地参与其中。它主要由90张个人卡片组成,每张卡片上都有一条与衰老或老年医学实践相关的陈述。这些陈述可能是真的、假的或不确定的。每个学生都会分到一定比例的卡片,通过共同讨论和相互交流,试图组成一个所有陈述都为真的小组。随后,学生们两两或四人一组进行组合,游戏的最后一部分是对每个小组持有的卡片进行评判,这让教师有足够的空间对各种陈述发表评论。
