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.

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 teac...... hiện toàn bộ
