Introduction. Research on the effectiveness of approaches for the teaching of clinical reasoning is scarce. A recent study showed hypothetico-deduction to be slightly more beneficial than self-explanation for students’ diagnostic performance. An account for this difference was unclear. This study investigated whether hypothetico-deduction leads to consideration of more alternative diagnoses while practicing with cases, and whether its advantage over self-explanation remains when diseases slightly different from the ones previously studied are tested.
Methods. One-hundred thirty-nine 2nd-year students from a six-year medical school participated in a two-phase experiment. In the learning phase, they worked in small groups on …

Purpose: Literature suggests that physical exercise can improve learning. To evaluate the impact of physical exercise during lectures on the learning outcomes of 1st-year male students at the College of Medicine, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Method: 60 students from the College of Medicine, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were included in this study. These students were divided into two groups: A control group (n=30) and an intervention group (n=30). The students first completed pretests before joining a lecture. Then, during the lecture, the intervention group was asked to perform physical exercises …
