Summary
Medical students found an e-Learning module beneficial for understanding and managing common ear, nose, and throat (ENT) emergencies. This digital resource enhanced their confidence, especially when face-to-face clinical opportunities were limited.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Otolaryngology
- Digital Health
Background:
- Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) remains under-represented in medical curricula.
- Social distancing measures reduced traditional face-to-face (FtF) teaching and clinical exposure.
- There is a need for accessible educational resources in ENT emergencies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an e-Learning platform for common ENT emergencies.
- To assess the platform's impact on medical students' knowledge and confidence.
- To explore student perceptions of e-Learning in ENT education.
Main Methods:
- An e-Learning module on ENT emergencies was created.
- Medical students at University Hospital Wales participated in focus groups.
- Qualitative data from structured interviews were analyzed using NVivo software.
Main Results:
- The e-Learning modules were perceived as concise and clinically relevant.
- Students reported increased confidence in recognizing and managing ENT emergencies.
- The platform was viewed as a valuable academic and practical resource.
Conclusions:
- e-Learning is a beneficial supplement to traditional medical education, particularly in ENT.
- Digital resources can effectively enhance student learning and confidence in managing clinical emergencies.
- e-Learning offers a flexible solution to overcome limitations in clinical training opportunities.

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 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.

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

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,...
