Test-enhanced learning (TEL) significantly increased medical student attendance in laparoscopic simulation programs. This approach, using regular assessments, improves engagement in surgical skills training.

Area of Science:

Surgical Education
Medical Simulation
Pedagogical Frameworks

Background:

Laparoscopy is a crucial surgical skill, yet mastering it through simulation presents engagement challenges for trainees.
Test-enhanced learning (TEL), involving regular performance assessments, offers a potential solution to improve engagement in simulation-based training.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of test-enhanced learning (TEL) on trainee engagement within a laparoscopic simulation program.

Main Methods:

A prospective cohort study involved 40 medical students in a 10-week laparoscopic simulation program.
Participants were divided into two groups: one with TEL and a control group with standard simulation training.

Main Results:

Keywords:

The TEL group demonstrated significantly higher attendance rates (71%) compared to the control group (51.5%).

No significant differences were observed in mean time scores between the groups.

Qualitative analysis revealed themes of personal motivators, training environment, and feedback contributing to performance understanding.

Conclusions:

Integrating regular testing and feedback within laparoscopic simulation enhances trainee attendance and engagement.
Surgical simulation programs should consider the pedagogical underpinnings of their training to optimize skill acquisition.
