SCENARIO-BASED APPROACH FOR TEACHING BIOSTATISTICS TO VETERINARY STUDENTS

We used a scenario-based approach for teaching the tests of hypotheses to veterinary students at The University of Sydney and later administered a questionnaire to a sample of students (n = 24) to obtain information about their perceptions of this approach. Nineteen of the 23 students agreed or strongly agreed that this approach made the subject interesting and easy to follow. Similarly, about 80% of students agreed/strongly agreed that the approach helped them to understand the concepts and gave them an idea of how they might apply biostatistics in their professional lives. Overall, the scenario based approach appeared to be received favourably by the students although further efforts are required to improve students’ generic perceptions about the subject.
