Evaluation of an Educational Escape Room in an International, Multidisciplinary Learning Environment
Raquel Duarte, Thomas Brehm, Ohanna Kirakosyan, Chiara Sepulcri
We hypothesize that an educational escape room is a feasible and well-received teaching format in an international, multidisciplinary tuberculosis training context, as evidenced by high satisfaction scores, strong participation rates, improved knowledge integration, increased self-reported confidence, and positive teamwork reflections.
