Lectures revisited

• Pre-recorded lectures as a means of encouraging active learning– The “coverage” myth– Active learning???– Lectures are for questions, problems, cases, - i.e

discussing that application and validity of the lecture

• Team based learning to encourage greater participation

Dissatisfaction with lectures?

• Not knowing if, what and how his students were thinking

• Insufficient opportunities to grapple with the problems that they would encounter on graduation

• Sense that lectures were a waste of time

Team based learning TBL is an active learning large group teaching technique: Teams of 5-8

1. Prescribed reading, video resources etc. in advance

2. Individual MCQ to test prior learning3. Same MCQ - agree team best answers4. Present same problem to each team–

(realistic, complex, challenging)5. Team generate answers – e.g.

management options6. Present their answers simultaneously –

(clickers, voting cards)7. Justify answers8. Student appeals9. AMEE guide 65

EPA: Bridges Competency To Practice• Competencies are logical groupings of knowledge and skills objectives –

e.g. “perform complete and accurate physical examinations”• Problem – competencies do not convert well to the complex tasks of

practice• “They may have passed their assessments, but how do I know they are

ready to manage a patient on their own??”• Entrustable professional activities – routine specialty specific professional

activities that are adjudged to be “entrustable” to a trainee.• Observable, measurable and graduated in terms of supervision reqd.

Tricks to improve clinical attachments

• Students “on call”• Involving interns in decision making• Longer is better– Relationships– Knowhow– Role (being useful)
