Developing an effective clinical teaching model requires shifting from teaching- or learning-centered approaches to a comprehensive teaching-learning orientation. This research conceptualizes a model for undergraduate medical education.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Clinical Teaching
- Educational Theory
Background:
- Clinical teaching is central to medical education.
- Effective teaching-learning models are crucial for developing competent physicians.
- Existing models may not fully capture the complexities of the clinical environment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a conceptual model for effective clinical teaching in undergraduate medical education.
- To conceptualize an operational framework for this model using a best-fit approach.
Main Methods:
- A multi-method approach involving three sub-studies.
- Qualitative meta-synthesis to identify effective teaching-learning factors.
- Situational analysis to map the clinical teaching-learning context.
- Expert panel and best-fit synthesis for model development.
Main Results:
- Five key dimensions of effective teaching-learning were synthesized.
- The clinical teaching-learning situation was mapped using three types of maps.
- The conceptual model was refined into eight dimensions: behavioral, social, pedagogical, technology, contextual, educational leadership, and financial.
- A three-dimensional matrix was developed based on epistemological orientations.
Conclusions:
- Effective clinical teaching necessitates a shift towards a teaching-learning-centered orientation.
- The developed conceptual model provides a framework for enhancing clinical teaching in medical education.

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...
