From: Applying the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle in medical education to refine an antibiotics therapy active learning session

Evaluation Item

Kruskal-Wallis

Test Statistic

Significant Pairwise Comparisons

I enjoyed the “active learning” format of this presentation.

H (3)= 10.52, p = 0.015

Intervention 3 (Mean Rank = 160) vs. Baseline (Mean Rank = 196) (p = 0.043)

The content covered was appropriate for my level of training.

H (3)= 3.44, p = 0.328

This lecture improved my understanding of antibiotics and their appropriate clinical use.

H (3)=15.98, p = 0.001

Intervention 1 (Mean Rank = 170) vs. Baseline (Mean Rank = 200) (p = 0.038)

Intervention 3 (Mean Rank = 158) vs. Baseline (Mean Rank = 200) (p = 0.012)
