    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Cognitive Science
    • Educational Methodology

    Background:

    • Learning complex skills, especially internal procedures like bovine obstetrics, is challenging for students.
    • Experts often struggle to articulate tacit knowledge and steps to novices.
    • Internal and unsighted procedures present unique difficulties in teaching and learning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To deconstruct the steps and decision-making processes for correcting two common bovine dystocia presentations (anterior leg back and breech).
    • To develop a standardized teaching protocol for these procedures using cognitive task analysis.
    • To identify expert variations and establish consensus for effective veterinary education.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed cognitive task analysis (CTA) with expert bovine practitioners using a life-size model cow and calf.
    • Utilized video recording of experts performing procedures and explaining them to a novice.
    • Analyzed transcribed audio and video data to create step-by-step protocols, followed by expert consensus interviews.

    Main Results:

    • CTA successfully defined the technical and cognitive steps for performing and teaching dystocia correction.
    • Identified differences in expert techniques, emphasizing the need for consensus in teaching protocols.
    • Established a "gold standard" teaching protocol for anterior leg back and breech malpresentations.

    Conclusions:

    • Cognitive task analysis is a valuable tool for dissecting and teaching complex veterinary procedures.
    • Standardized protocols derived from CTA enhance the effectiveness of veterinary education.
    • Addressing expert variations and achieving consensus is crucial for developing reliable teaching methods.
