Metacognition01:26

Metacognition

1.1K
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Learning Disabilities

739
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

581
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...

Cognitive Learning

1.6K
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...

Steps in the Modeling Process01:14

Steps in the Modeling Process

816
Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Growth versus Fixed Mindset01:24

Growth versus Fixed Mindset

469
Carol Dweck introduced the term mindset to describe individuals' beliefs about their intellectual and personal capabilities. These beliefs significantly influence psychological processes such as motivation, goal-setting, and perseverance, ultimately shaping academic and life outcomes. Individuals generally possess one of two mindsets- a fixed or a growth mindset—each promoting different responses to success, failure, and challenge.Fixed vs. Growth MindsetA fixed mindset assumes that one's...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Educational Assessment
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Mastery learning bases progress on demonstrated performance, not time.
  • Learners repeat practice and testing until a mastery level is achieved.
  • Standard-setting for mastery learning assessments needs unique consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline modifications for standard-setting procedures in health care mastery learning.
  • To emphasize the importance of learner outcomes and patient safety.
  • To guide the development of effective mastery learning assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing traditional standard-setting procedures.
  • Identifying necessary modifications for mastery learning in healthcare.
  • Incorporating evidence-based performance data and patient safety considerations.

Main Results:

  • Traditional standard-setting needs adaptation for evidence-based data, benchmark groups, and patient safety.
  • Learner outcomes and successful past performance are valuable data sources.
  • Conjunctive standards for critical subdomains and patient safety are supported.

Conclusions:

  • Modified standard-setting is essential for mastery learning in health professions education.
  • Effective procedures enhance learner assessment, patient safety, and care quality.
  • Mastery learning is key for assessing entrustable professional activities and milestones.
