BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The case/problem-based learning discussion method was recently introduced into the theory-based training program for residents run by the Catalan Society of Anaesthesiology. This study was designed to assess and compare its effectiveness with that of the lecture-based approach for teaching pre-anaesthetic assessment, applying an objective tool for knowledge evaluation b...

In the process of curriculum development, I have integrated a constructivist teaching strategy into an advanced-level biochemistry teaching unit. Specifically, I have introduced case-based learning activities into the teaching/learning framework. These case-based learning activities were designed to develop problem-solving skills, consolidate student learning and understanding, and establish an...

Abstract. Reasoning and learning from cases are based on the concept of similarity often estimated by a distance. This paper presents LAUD, a distance measure that can be used to estimate similarity among relational cases. This measure is adequate for domains where cases are best represented by relations among entities. An experimental evaluation of the accuracy of LAUD is presented for the tas...

The goal of this paper is to show how it is possible to support design decisions with two different tools relying on two kinds of knowledge: case-based reasoning operating with contextual knowledge embodied in past cases and constraint filtering that operates with general knowledge formalized using constraints. Our goals are, firstly to make an overview of existing works that analyses the vario...
