TEACHING MACHINES IN MEDICAL EDUCATION

A method for employing audio‐visual teaching machines in the curriculum of clinical medicine is described. The results of the first year of the use of the teaching machines in the University of Melbourne Department of Medicine, Austin Hospital, are reported. Assessment of the method is made by analysis of a student questionnaire. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are evaluated. The students found the technique superior to formal lectures, but their attitude to them was guarded. The further development of the method and its advantages are outlined.
