2. Bravely call for more pro-active curricula that help students learn about why all kinds of stigma, including homophobia, are harmful to everyone and how they can be allies to stop it.
Active preparatory curricula allowing residents to experience and debrief emotional challenges they may encounter abroad are generally lacking.
Measures that improve the quality of instruction include teaching guides to accompany new curricula, active pedagogies that involve teamwork as well as one-on-one attention, relevant certification and ongoing education programs for teachers, and professional development opportunities and extra pay for teachers serving in challenging settings.
In both curricula, active learning principles are applied to facilitate knowledge acquisition.
We used phylogenies to provide a problem-based experience, following the advice of Perry et al. (2008), who pointed out the need to engage college students in active, hands-on curricula relevant to macroevolution.
Evidence is accumulating that with increased clinical supervision, along with educational curricula promoting active learning, the frequency of medical errors can be reduced (9, 10).
Therefore, we examined undergraduate medical students' knowledge acquisition, clinical performance and perceived preparedness for medical practice for two curricula – a competency-based active learning (CBAL) curriculum and its predecessor, a regular active learning (AL) curriculum.
Two experiences related to pollution prevention (P2) curricula are described: An active learning course in environmental engineering (EE) for ChE students, and the development of "modules" for pollution prevention in an international mobility program.
Consequently, parental pressure poses a massive challenge to inquiry-based curricula that engage students in active learning and critical thinking.
Control groups included no curricula, usual practice or an active non-relevant control, for example, homework study group.
We infer from these ratings that GEP faculty members are motivated by their belief that genomics and active research should be a part of their curricula, but that these goals receive only modest support from their home institutions.
