Microteaching, Distance learning, problem based learning(PBL) & evidence based learning (EBL)

Learning objectives At the end of the session the students will be able to Define microteaching Mention the purpose of microteaching Narrate the methods of microteaching State the concept of distance learning Explain the attributes of distance learning

Learning objectives Define problem based learning ( PBL) Mention the requirement of PBL Define evidence based learning (EBL) Make an outline of EBL approach Explain the advantage of EBL approach

Microteaching It is an innovative teacher training technique aims at development of competence in teaching skill. How to teach rather than what to teach

Microteaching ( methods ) A short presentation is given to a small group of students for 10 minutes Peer/colleagues/senior teachers observe the teaching behavior Immediate feedback After a short break the teacher presents the same or different topic Methods A short presentation is given to a small group of students for 10 minutes Peer/colleagues/senoir teachers observe the teaching behavior Immediate feedback. It will help the teacher to identify her waekness to correctBut the feedback must be constructive criticism

Hands on session

Norma demonstrate cutting

James does not appreciate the design

Teacher has a suggestion for improvement

State the objectives & teach Microteaching cycle Plan State the objectives & teach Observer’s opinion reteach feedback replan

State the objectives & teach Microteaching cycle Plan State the objectives & teach Observer’s feedback Replan Reteach Observer’s opinion

Microteaching Purpose Each skills can be performed in more effective manner by properly planned practice session

Distance learning

Distance learning limited teacher-student interaction The student is separated from the teacher in time and space Learners have more control over their own learning

Distance learning Things to be taken into consideration What are the aims of this program What do we need to know about the learners From where the learner might get help Suggest the activities of the learner Set up assessment system Suggest the feedback to activities

Distance learning Ways Preparing printed course materials Audio/video broad casting Teleconferencing Radio and television Online communication Computer assisted instruction

Distance learning

Distance learning Support from the tutor from variety of modes Email Telephone Letter face to face

Problem based learning ( PBL)

Problem based learning Students define their own learning objectives from a problem case or scenario They do self directed learning to acquire knowledge

Problem based learning The problem is intended to Provoke question Stimulate thought Encourage to share and exchange information Encourage team work Improve communication skill Solve problem/understand rather memorization Train students to locate learning resources Provide independent responsibility to student for learning Aim of the PBLS

Problem based learning Issues need to be considered Curricular design Integration of basic and clinical subjects Sufficient number of trained teaching staff Learning resources Time table Workload Assessment system

Role of tutor in PBL Facilitate the proceeding Maintain group dynamics Ensuring achievement of appropriate learning objectives by the group

Writing PBL Scenario PBL Scenario consistent with the learning objectives appropriate to the level of the students’ understanding interesting include basic science in the context of a clinical scenario contain cues to stimulate discussion encourage in seeking information from various learning resources

Problem based learning

Evidence Based learning The process of systematically finding, appraising and using contemporaneous research findings as the basis for learning

Evidence based learning Four steps Setting the question Finding the evidence Appraising the evidence Acting on the evidence

Evidence based learning QUEST Dimensions Quality Utility Extent Strength Target setting

Advantage of EBL Authenticity of information improves continuity and uniformity of care through the common approaches and guidelines Life long , self directed learning approach which keep the knowledge up to date

Evidence based learning
