This paper addresses the problem of handling skewed class distributions within the case-based learning (CBL) framework. We rst present as a baseline an information-gain-weighted CBL algorithm and apply it to three data sets from natural language processing (NLP) with skewed class distributions. Although overall performance of the baseline CBL algorithm is good, we show that the algorithm exhibi...

background and purpose: active learning, combined with computer-assisted instruction, can enhance medical students’ performance and learning. this article is an attempt to introduce a new web-based approach to information technology instruction for medical students. methods: eight topics were selected to be instructed in web-based workshops. phpbb forum was used for web-based collaborative lear...

This review maps patterns in research on Challenge Based Learning (CBL) higher education (HE) between 2009 and 2020. How is CBL defined HE settings? grounded scientifically the research? The results show a shift of from being concept coined by multinational technology company targeting learning schools, to embraced HE, first foremost as method for transformation adult learning. A critical appro...

Active-learning strategies are increasingly being integrated into college-level science courses to make material more accessible to all students and to improve learning outcomes. One active-learning pedagogy, case-based learning (CBL), was developed as a way to both enhance engagement in the material and to accommodate diverse learning styles. Yet, adoption of CBL approaches in undergraduate bi...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of case-base learning (CBL) using video on clinical decision-making and learning motivation. METHODS This research was conducted between June 2009 and April 2010 as a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. The study population was 44 third year nursing students who enrolled in a college of nursing, A University in Kore...

As a medical approach to posing contextualized questions that are based on real-life clinical problems, case-based learning (CBL) is used to stimulate and underpin the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes through clinical cases. Good effects were acquired in the practice of CBL teaching in English applied by the College of Stomatology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Responses from bo...
