STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN CURRICULA CENTERED ON SIMULATION-BASED INFERENCE

A practical approach for successful small group teaching in medical schools with student centered curricula

There has been a paradigm shift in the teaching strategies fromdidactic or teacher-centered to more vibrant student centeredapproaches. For the last five decades, small group teaching(SGT) has been a hallmark of this reorientation of educationalstrategies especially in medical schools, which use problem-basedlearning as a core educational tool. The key strength of ...

Comparison of Learning Outcomes for Simulation-based and Traditional Inference Curricula in a Designed Educational Experiment

semantic divergence in clinical education: student-centered or student democracy

aims: although several studies have confirmed the validity and the strength of the student-centered approach and most training centeres have put it as the heading of their agenda, there are still problems in the method of implementation, increasing the need for further research to review the mode of implementation. in this regard, the present study has been conducted to investigate students’ an...

Student directed learning in medical neuroscience curricula

Student-directed learning (SDL) holds the promise of endowing medical students with the skills to tackle the growing body of information in medicine and facilitate its integration to solve clinical problems. The concept of SDL is not new, it grew out of a more commonly used and closely related concept: self-directed learning. Barrows characterizes SDL as the development of effective self-direct...

An Efficient Student Model Based on Student Performance and Metadata

This paper describes a new student model technology that combines evidences and knowledge about pedagogical and domain structure. Its structure is generated from the metadata available in the content representation of the adaptive webbased learning platform ActiveMath (or other contents). The evidences are processed with Item Response Theory and Transferable Belief Model uncertainty methodologi...
