Just-in-time continuing education (JiTCE) leverages online technologies for professional development. A novel taxonomy, the perceived and unperceived, pull and push (PUPP) model, enhances learner engagement and program sustainability.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Instructional Design
- Continuing Professional Development
Background:
- Continuing professional development (CPD) increasingly utilizes "just-in-time" (JiT) methodologies.
- Online technologies offer opportunities to enhance learner engagement and program sustainability in CPD.
- Existing CPD models may not fully leverage JiT principles and online capabilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel taxonomy for defining and implementing JiT continuing education (JiTCE).
- To provide a structured approach for designing and deploying sustainable JiTCE programs.
- To explore how online technologies can support JiTCE delivery mechanisms.
Main Methods:
- Development of the JiTCE Perceived and Unperceived, Pull and Push (PUPP) taxonomy.
- Identification of four key components for JiTCE program design: on-demand, subscription-based, performance feedback-driven, and data-driven learning.
- Integration of various online technologies as delivery systems for JiTCE.
Main Results:
- The JiTCE PUPP taxonomy offers a framework for addressing CPD needs and delivery.
- Four distinct components (on-demand, subscription, feedback-driven, data-driven learning) form the backbone of JiTCE.
- Online technologies are fundamental to the successful implementation of JiTCE.
Conclusions:
- JiTCE provides a novel and organized approach to meet continuing education needs sustainably.
- The PUPP taxonomy guides instructional designers in leveraging best practices and emerging technologies for CPD.
- JiTCE enhances learner engagement and program sustainability through the strategic use of online technologies.

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...
