AB OBJECTIVE: Examine if learning about AIDS is influenced by active
participation in the learning process. METHODS: 71 pupils comprising
girls and boys took part in an AIDS game. These fell within the age
ranges of 13-20 and were chosen if their names came first in the
alphabet. Subjects of the same age and sex, in groups of 6, took part in
the game. After learning process knowledge increase was measured. Age
and sex effect were also measured. T tests were used to measure the
significance of knowledge increase between different learning sessions.
The same test was used between males and females to measure the effect
of sex. Pearson r was used to measure age effect. RESULTS: Each time
they took part in the AIDS game their knowledge increased significantly,
the most significant having a t value of 5.56. During pretest males
scored a mean of 74% while females 73% correct. At posttest both scored
a mean of 88% correct. During all the learning sessions age effect
appeared non significant with r values of less than 0.5. DISCUSSIONS AND
CONCLUSION: Results indicated that learning had been effected with mean
scores after each learning session being significantly higher than
preceeding ones. Age and sex had no influence on the learning process.
In Malawi and elsewhere in the world curriculums should adopt
participative teaching. Effects of age and sex should be readdressed in
future.
