Teaching professional practices, such as the Nutrition Care Process (NCP), in lecture-based undergraduate nutrition courses can be difficult. Online Interactive Learning Assessments (ILAs) were pilot tested as a way to teach the NCP in an undergraduate nutrition course at a state university. Participating students were satisfied with the ILAs and reported that they provided the feel of authentic practical experience with the NCP. As measured by examination performance, students had similar mastery of content knowledge introduced via ILAs versus lecture. ILAs may allow students to gain content knowledge and effective professional practice skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
