This study compared the performances of students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine who had access to sets of problem exercises and a computer database to support their learning of bacteriology with the performances of students at the University of Iowa College of Medicine who did not have such access. The study also examined the extent of a student's database use as a predictor of posttest performance. The students studied were randomly selected groups of 32–44 first-year students per year at each school; the study was conducted in three academic years (1988–1990) with some modifications in the intervention as the host environment evolved. The criterion measure was a posttest created from the same pool of problems used to generate the problem sets. The students at the intervention school scored significantly higher on the posttest in two of the three years, and overall. Also in two of the three years and overall, there was a significant relationship between the extent of a student's database use and his or her posttest score. Although the observed effects may have been due to other factors in this quasi-experimental design, the authors conclude that the use of problem sets and a computer database had a positive influence on the students' learning.
