Virtual patients as activities: exploring the research implications of an activity theoretical stancePerspectives on Medical Education - Tập 3 - Trang 266-277 - 2014
Rachel H. Ellaway
Virtual patients are computer-based simulators of patient encounters for the
purposes of instruction, practice, and assessment. Although virtual patients
have been around for some time they have yet to become part of mainstream
medical education. A major reason for this would seem to be a lack of clarity as
to what educational value virtual patients actually have. This paper argues that

Study limitations represent weaknesses within a research design that may
influence outcomes and conclusions of the research. Researchers have an
obligation to the academic community to present complete and honest limitations
of a presented study. Too often, authors use generic descriptions to describe
study limitations. Including redundant or irrelevant limitations is an
ineffective use of the alr... hiện toàn bộ

Thoughts that breathe, and words that burn: poetic inquiry within health professions educationPerspectives on Medical Education - Tập 10 - Trang 257-264 - 2021
Megan E. L. Brown, Martina Kelly, Gabrielle M. Finn
Qualitative inquiry is increasingly popular in health professions education, and
there has been a move to solidify processes of analysis to demystify the
practice and increase rigour. Whilst important, being bound too heavily by
methodological processes potentially represses the imaginative creativity of
qualitative expression and interpretation—traditional cornerstones of the
approach. Rigid adhe... hiện toàn bộ
Bridging the gap between CBME in theory and practice: the role of a teacher communityPerspectives on Medical Education - Tập 3 Số 6 - Trang 486-491
A. J. Gercama, Thea van Lankveld, Johanna H. Kleinveld, Gerda Croiset, Rashmi A. Kusurkar
The success of curricular reforms is dependent on the teachers who put the
reforms into practice. In medical education, clinicians as teachers are
important in this endeavour and the educational organization can learn from
their efforts. The ‘Vygotsky space’ construct may help to analyze the learning
process between teachers and organization. A case study is presented that shows
how a teaching com... hiện toàn bộ
