摘要:

Important decisions are often taken about students as a result of the scores they achieve in examinations. It should be possible to make important decisions in relation to student counselling and course development on the basis of evaluation results, but often this is not done. All teachers are involved directly or indirectly with assessing students' competencies and should be familiar with some of the current thinking on assessment. They should ask (and answer) five questions: (1) What should be assessed? (2) How should it be assessed? (3) Why should it be assessed? (4) When should it be assessed? (5) Who should carry out the assessment?

摘要:

This paper describes an innovative approach to teaching a traditional subject—physiology. There are no lectures, tutorials or practicals. All learning activities are undertaken in small groups, and the course is learner-centred and problem-orientated. Students are required to collect and record their own information and to teach their colleagues what they have learned. Peer evaluation by students is used. The great majority of students enjoy the course and find it valuable. However, the structure of the course is not yet regarded as optimal. It is suggested that the system should complement and supplement traditional methods, rather than replace them entirely.

摘要:

This article provides a personal account of the way one medical teacher uses cheap, easily-made models in the education of medical undergraduates and postgraduate vocational trainees. It deals with plastic bas-relief models, paper models, plaster of paris models, and models used in endoscopy training. Successful use of such models depends upon their simplicity and on the enthusiasm of the instructor.

摘要:

From time to time,Medical Teacherwill publish surveys of topical aspects of medical educational practice in the UK and elsewhere. The first article in this series reports the results of an enquiry into the teaching of the expanding specialty of neurology and neurosurgery in clinical medical schools in the UK. It shows wide differences in the arrangements made for teaching the specialty, and considerable dissatisfaction amongst many teachers with what they regard as insufficient teaching provision.

摘要:

An eight-week course based on a non-traditional instructional format was offered to 136 first-year medical and dental students. The course was problem-based, student-centred and took place in a small tutorial setting. During and at the end of the course students evaluated their own performance, as well as the course itself. Analysis of the results showed that students reacted favourably to this mode of instruction and requested that more courses should be offered utilizing this approach. The performance of students surpassed the expectation of members of the faculty.
