This article presents an experimental teaching and learning program used in a histology course with first-year students in the first term of their studies in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Huanghuai University, China. Eighty students were divided randomly into two sections (n=40/section).

In the experimental section, students' scores were significantly higher than those of students in the control section both in the chapter and the final examinations (p
