Summary
A multi-disciplinary event at King Saud University promoted interprofessional education among health science students. The event enhanced students' core competencies and provided practical application of knowledge, aligning with Kolb's experiential learning theory.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Interprofessional Learning
- Experiential Learning Theory
Background:
- Health science students often study in silos, limiting interdisciplinary interaction.
- Extracurricular activities offer valuable opportunities for skill development and self-expression.
- A multi-disciplinary public awareness event at King Saud University (KSU) aimed to inform the public about healthcare rights and responsibilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of a multi-disciplinary public awareness event on interprofessional competencies.
- To evaluate the acquisition of core interprofessional competencies among participating health science students.
- To apply Kolb's experiential learning theory (KELT) as a framework for understanding student learning.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study utilizing semi-structured Zoom interviews conducted in November 2020.
- Interviews guided by a topic guide based on Kolb's experiential learning theory (KELT).
- Thematic analysis of recorded and transcribed interviews.
Main Results:
- Twenty-one students from four KSU health science colleges participated.
- Identified themes included student attitudes, knowledge/skills acquired, and practical application of learning.
- Findings were aligned with KELT, demonstrating the event's impact on interprofessional development.
Conclusions:
- The multi-disciplinary event effectively promoted interprofessional education concepts.
- The event served as a valuable platform for educating students across multiple health science disciplines.
- This initiative demonstrates potential as a tool for fostering interprofessional competencies.

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.

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?
