Description
Summary:Conclusion: This study showed positive acceptance of CAL method by students, however, they preferred for blending of CAL and conventional methods for better understanding, better engagement, and fostering more interest in learning drugs in experimental practical pharmacology. [...]it is being used as an effective teaching and learning tool at certain medical colleges in India. Study Tools (1) CAL method - In this method, the students were taught the topics using CAL software ("CAL software for Experimental Pharmacology Series" which is already purchased by the institute from the Bureau for Health and Education Status Upliftment, Jaipur, Rajasthan, and a free version of ExPharma computer simulation software program designed by Dr. R. Raveendran, JIPMER). [...]B) group of students was taught topic (2), using CAL software and Group (A) students were taught the same topics by conventional teaching method.
