摘要:

Workshops are a common educational format for transmitting information and promoting skill acquisition. However, they frequently fall short of their teaching potential. Many workshops do not seem like workshops at all. Participants are often quiet, passive onlookers; the workshop coordinator gives a 'lecture' to the group; and questions and discussion are frequently absent. A workshop has been defined as:

摘要:

Eighty-three medical students from one class at the University of Vermont College of Medicine were surveyed as to their perceptions of both themselves and residents as teachers. Sixty seven percent of the students felt that residents played a significant role as teachers during the first clinical year. Students estimated that one-third of their knowledge could be attributed to housestaff teaching. A large majority of students wanted to teach students during medical school (80%) and residency (93%). Ninety percent of students surveyed would participate in a workshop to improve teaching skills prim to beginning residency; of this group, forty nine students ranked the importance of components of a teaching skills workshop. The findings suggest that medical students are interested both in learning teaching skills and teaching during medical school and during residency.

摘要:

The use of questionnaires incorporating quantitative and qualitative analysis are an integral part of practice when monitoring the learning experience for student nurses on clinical placement. This paper outlines this system in the belief that the information could be helpful to other health professionals who are responsible for monitoring the clinical learning experiences of their students. Reference is made to other systems, such as educational audit, and some of the trends identified in analysing data collected is discussed. Finally, the potential for further developing this system is noted.

摘要:

The effectiveness of peer review in postgraduate medical teaching by hospital consultants using videotape recordings of teaching sessions has been assessed. The technique is useful for routine, infrequent and for 'one off' self-tuition. Participants' assessment of the 'clarity of structure' of teaching sessions and 'abilities to self-analyse' did change but 'mannerisms' did not.The author acknowledges invaluable secretarial assistance from Mrs A. Vowden, financial support from the Claire Wand Fund and Syntex Pharmaceuticals Limited and thanks Dr Alun Edwards for use of the Litchdon Street Surgery assessment scale.

摘要:

This paper advocates an alternative approach to the evaluation of educational programmes in the health professions. In the past, effectiveness of programmes has been judged by casual observations, visitation reports by outside experts, student performance at nationwide examinations, systematic surveys and experimental research. Decisions have been made based on either one or more of the above methods. It is being argued that these methods are not always appropriate and mostly inadequate in providing a holistic description and judgement of the educational programme. Social science disciplines have contributed to the development of case study, an alternative methodology, for evaluating educational programmes.The case study design is emerging as a legitimate approach for evaluating educational programmes. Qualitative methods such as participant observation, interviewing and documentary analysis have been found to bring new insights in evaluating short-term and long-term programmes in medical and allied professions. Although qualitative methods are emphasized in case studies, quantitative data from survey instruments can increase the credibility and understanding of the evaluation results. Different measures have been suggested to deal with questions of validity and reliability in case study evaluation.

摘要:

Third and fourth year medical students were recruited to participate as simulated patients and examiners in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) administered for second year medical students. Students reported they were motivated to participate, not only by the honorarium, but because they believed the OSCE would be fun and interesting and because they were interested in medical education and in improving clinical evaluation. The third and fourth year medical students benefitted academically and financially from participation. Faculty benefitted by having a readily available source of enthusiastic and knowledgeable simulated patients.

摘要:

This study evaluates the correlation that exists between the objective structured clinical examination and the traditional clinical examination. An analysis is performed on the results of four groups of students assessed by these two methods. The internal consistency of the OSCE is also described by correlating the results by rank difference correlation using the split-half method of grading the even and odd numbered stations separately. Also 46 surgical interns were asked to indicate their preference regarding the efficacy of five different methods of assessment of clinical competence. The results indicate a high reliability of OSCE and traditional clinical examination. In the opinion of surgical interns, the OSCE and clinical examination both scored high for their ability to assess clinical competence.

摘要:

Most clerkship evaluation systems give the greatest evaluative weight in deriving grades to some for of evaluation by faculty and housestaff although few studies have been reported concerning which elements of performance are most important or which discriminate best. The results of this study show that a select group of faculty, heavily involved with assessment of student performance, agreed that certain aspects of performance were more important and/or discriminated better between average and superior medicine clerks. We suggest that those aspects of performance be given more consideration when designing curricula, providing student feedback, and assigning grades for medicine clerkships and that medical educators engage faculty and housestaff in the formal discussion of issues surrounding evaluation.

摘要:

During their final year, medical students at Shefield University are required to undertake a research or audit project. The students' project reports are assessed using a grid-style criterion-based profile. This is described, and the validity and reliability of this method of summative assessment are discussed.
