Successful Use of an Expert System to Teach Diagnostic Reasoning for Antibody Identification Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1998. A previously reported study indicated that, when used by an instructor as a tool to assist with tutoring in a class laboratory setting, use of the Transfusion Medicine Tutor (TMT) resulted in improvements in antibody identification performance of 87-93% (p<.001). Based on input from teachers requesting that TMT be designed for use without the presence of an instructor, a new study on the use of TMT without instructor assistance found that performance improved by 64-66% (p<.001). Finally, based on the results of these two studies, TMT was mailed to 7 sites for beta-testing. In exchange for a free copy of the kit, the instructors (and their students) were asked to fill out questionnaires. Results of these questionnaires are summarized.
