Chapter 6 - Outline of Course

Abstract

In the sets of objectives and learning activities, the anatomy course can be broken down into regions and systems. Within each region or system, a number of topics can be identified and a general objective, specific behavioral objectives, and learning activities can be assigned to each topic. At the end of each set of specific behavioral objectives is a set of learning activities that can form the basis of a workshop type of tutorial teaching by group discussion. The juxtaposition of objectives and learning activities facilitates the adoption of such a teaching program, and it also has usefulness in that reference to learning activities can often aid in the clarification of specific behavioral objectives. If only objectives are used and not group discussion methods of teaching, there can be some advantage in rapid reference to the learning activities appended to each set of objectives.
