| Popis: | Clinical reasoning involves the use of both analytical and nonanalytical intuitive cognitive processes. Fostering student development of clinical reasoning skills and evaluating student performance in this cognitive arena can challenge educators. The use of Web-based unfolding cases is proposed as a strategy to address these challenges. Unfolding cases mimic real-life clinical situations by presenting only partial clinical information in sequential segments. Students receive immediate feedback after submitting a response to a given segment. The student’s comparison of the desired and submitted responses provides information to enhance the development of clinical reasoning skills. Each student’s set of case responses are saved for the instructor in an individual-student electronic file, providing a record of the student’s knowledge and thinking processes for faculty evaluation. For the example case given, the approaches used to evaluate individual components of clinical reasoning are provided. Possible future uses of Web-based unfolding cases are described.
