A course in the Igakugairon for 1st-year students to develop an active learning attitude has been conducted since 1992 at the Shiga University of Medical Science. On the basis of observations of educational results during this period, the course's length, contents, and scheduling were improved. It has become a full-year course for 1st-year students. Lecture classes were decreased and classes in which students participate in discussions and role playing were increased. In particular, classes focusing on an "early exposure" program at medical and welfare facilities have provided an important opportunity for changes in learning attitudes among students. Although class attendance is not mandatory, it is more than 80% in every class, and students actively take part in discussions. From the attitudes of the students in the class and their evaluations of the course, we have concluded that this course is effective in developing an active learning attitude among students.
