Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

39.8K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

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...

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

857
Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus:...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback01:24

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

208
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

36.7K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

386
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Medical Pedagogy
  • Student Learning Outcomes

Background:

  • The healthcare industry's dynamic nature necessitates adaptable teaching methods.
  • Peer-assisted learning (PAL) is increasingly adopted to meet evolving competency standards.
  • A comprehensive understanding of PAL's impact on student performance is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review mapping the existing literature on peer-assisted learning (PAL).
  • To evaluate the impact of PAL on student performance across various healthcare disciplines.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Arksey and O'Malley's six-stage scoping review methodology.
  • Searched major databases including Cinahl, Ovid Medline, Proquest, and Embase.
  • Included grey literature and dissertations to ensure comprehensive coverage.

Main Results:

  • 22 articles were included, encompassing diverse study designs like RCTs and comparative research.
  • Three major themes emerged regarding student performance, with significant improvements noted for student tutors.
  • The majority of studies focused on medical students, with limited research on other healthcare professions.

Conclusions:

  • Peer-assisted learning demonstrates an overall positive effect on student performance.
  • Measurable outcomes for student tutors were particularly significant.
  • Further research is recommended to ascertain PAL's relevance and efficacy for the broader healthcare community.
