Decision Making: Traditional Method01:14

Decision Making: Traditional Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...
Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
Introspection01:29

Introspection

Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...
Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...
Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a bonus...
Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Problem-Solving Before Instruction (PS-I): A Protocol for Assessment and Intervention in Students with Different Abilities

Published on: September 11, 2021

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • The HeiCuMed curriculum integrates daily case-based seminars, problem-based tutorials, and bedside teaching with didactic training for instructors.
  • The traditional curriculum relied on lectures with minimal bedside teaching and lacked formal didactic training for educators.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of active student participation and didactic components on learning outcomes in reformed versus traditional surgical curricula.
  • To evaluate student perceptions of successful learning in both educational models.

Main Methods:

  • Student evaluations from undergraduate surgical courses (1999-2008) were analyzed using correlation and regression.
  • Comparative analysis of teaching quality, student engagement, and knowledge gain between HeiCuMed and the traditional curriculum.

Main Results:

  • HeiCuMed received significantly higher scores for organization, instructor dedication, clarity, and subjective knowledge gain.
  • Active student participation and quality discussions positively impacted knowledge gain in the reformed curriculum, but not the traditional one.
  • The influence of didactic quality on knowledge gain was consistent across both curricula.

Conclusions:

  • Competent implementation of integrative didactic methods is more critical for successful teaching and knowledge gain than traditional knowledge transfer.
  • The findings support psychological-educational theories on the effectiveness of active learning strategies in medical education.
