BACKGROUND The traditional lecture is used by many residency programs to fulfill the mandate for regular didactic sessions, despite limited evidence to demonstrate its effectiveness. Active teaching strategies have shown promise in improving medical knowledge but have been challenging to implement within the constraints of residency training. We developed and evaluated an innovative structured ...

background:     purpose:       methods:       results:     conclusion:     eywords : faculty evaluation , student ' s survey the finding of this study showed there were no statistically differences between the dependent and independents variables. however the weak negative correlation was found between age and teaching experience. it means young and less experienced faculty gets better score in...

BACKGROUND Peer observation of teaching (PoT) is most commonly done as a way of evaluating educators in lecture or small group teaching. Teaching in the clinical environment is a complex and hectic endeavor that requires nimble and innovative teaching on a daily basis. Most junior faculty start their careers with little formal training in education and with limited opportunity to be observed or...

background: training teachers through educational programs are necessary for fulfilling health science teaching competencies, short-term workshop has variously reported as an influential training program. purpose: the purpose was to determine the effects of educational workshops on teaching performance of medical teachers. methods: a 29-item questionnaire containing demographic information, and...

BACKGROUND In 2002 Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network Internal Medicine residency program sought to establish a faculty development program for their teaching faculty that emphasized learner-centered teaching of patient-centered care. DESCRIPTION Medical educators trained in observational research practices shadowed teaching teams for 24 months and observed 24 General Internal Medicine...

BACKGROUND There is little empirical information on how general practitioner (GP) supervisors teach and the reasons for the variation in their teaching methods. Could the variation be due to differing motivations to teach? METHODS Supervisors from one regional training provider who attended educational workshops in 2013 were surveyed, seeking infor-mation on their motivation to become and rem...

We propose a machine learning framework for an adaptive and self-improving tutoring system that performs efficient and effective teaching strategies, and learns these strategies efficiently while interacting on-line with students belonging to specific learning categories. Categories that may be learned via a conceptual clustering algorithm serves as background knowledge for the reinforcement le...
