摘要:

SummaryIn a study of Edinburgh students in their first clinical year it was found that a sizeable proportion had had some prior experience of hospital life and work from vacation jobs—such as being porters, auxiliary nurses and so on. Students’ retrospective accounts of such experience are reported. The most salient aspect of hospitals seen from this vantage point concerned the division of labour between grades of staff, and the hierarchical organization of hospital personnel. Students saw the experience primarily as a chance to see medicine ‘from the other side’. It is suggested that such experiences can be drawn on in the teaching of sociology to undergraduate s

摘要:

SummaryAn analysis of self‐descriptive essays by applicants who successfully gained entry to medical school shows that five sub‐types of entrant can be differentiated. Medical schools have not yet deliberated on the sort, or sorts, of person most needed in the medical profession, but doubtless individual selectors exercise personal if undeclared preferences.More elaborate inspection of the differences among entrants discloses six main groups who got into medical sch

摘要:

SummarySome authors have suggested that the teacher has two basic choices of style which can be used to influence learning: he/she can manage learning resources or he/she can function as such a resource.Part of the appeal for the authors of the course format described here is the blurring of that distinction. Functioning both as a manager and a resource appears to us a near optimal role for the teacher.

摘要:

SummaryTraditional examination systems achieve a high degree of pseudo‐precision, producing relatively little information that is constructively useful for student or teachers, and conveying it in the form of scores and marks that appear falsely accurate. The rationale and methodology of a structured evaluation system, in the absence of formal examinations, and based on validated self‐assessment, are described. An account of the organization and uses of such a process, and a description of some new evaluation techniques used, is based on the system currently being evolved in the McMaster University M.D. Progra

摘要:

SummaryMultiple choice question papers in which the student has a ‘don't know’ option are widely used in undergraduate and postgraduate examinations in Medicine. In the present study students’ performance in papers with a ‘don't know’ option has been compared with their performance when they are instructed to answer all the questions. By completing questions left unanswered (i.e. ‘don't know’ options) students were able to increase their score significantly and the rank order of the students in class is changed. Answers omitted may indicate complete ignoranceorvarious degrees of knowledge. It is concluded that the ‘don't know’ option in multiple choice question papers favours the bold and test‐wise student and in consequence their validity as a measure of achievement may suffer. Papers in which the student is instructed to answer all the questions are to be preferred to those in common use where there is a

摘要:

SummaryA method of medical education has been developed which emphasizes audit of student performance in terms of behavioural traits (thoroughness, reliability, analytic sense, and efficiency) rather than in terms of memorized knowledge. This method is dependent upon the Problem‐Oriented Medical Record. The tools developed for the audit and some preliminary results are presente

摘要:

SummaryA variety of methods to assess attitudes toward patient care, the medical profession and medical education have been described. Direct, written methods have been most widespread; they are most useful with anonymous respondents when group, rather than individual, data are sought. Examples of disguised, written and audio‐visual methods were also presented to stimulate readers to experiment with these approaches. Finally, observational methods were reviewed to capture behaviours in real and simulated situations that reflect attitude

摘要:

SummaryThe adequacy of postgraduate trainees is assessed rather more frequently than that of the teaching process. A survey was therefore undertaken of the views of sixty‐two junior psychiatrists regarding the clinical units they had worked on during their 3‐year rotational training programme at the Maudsley Hospital. The quality of the training experience was felt to be related to work load (not too light), to the number of trainees attached to each consultant, and to the attention given by the consultant to instruction on practical management. The factors felt to need most attention were feedback from consultants on the trainee's performance, and the standards of academic instruction and of interdisciplinary team
