Learning from panel boards: T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte self-tolerance game

Abstract

Immunology is a vast, complex and challenging subject. To facilitate students' understanding, the authors have created a T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte self-tolerance game. The T-lymphocyte self-tolerance game consisted of 24 cardboard pieces with illustrations and statements about self-tolerance mechanisms and one large panel board. The B-lymphocyte panel board consisted of 11 cardboard pieces with illustrations and statements about self-tolerance mechanisms, and two large panels. Students had to associate mechanisms of self-tolerance with the corresponding cardboard pieces. In total, 120 students attended the session. Of these, 95.8% considered that the panel board facilitated their understanding; 95% affirmed they understood how T- and B-lymphocyte self-tolerance worked. Students' grades improved significantly. The good results obtained show the value of using a panel board when approaching a subject that is vast and complex.
