Summary
This summary is machine-generated.A student-led scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) program increased medical students' interest and confidence in education research. This initiative offers a framework for other institutions to engage students in SoTL.
Area Of Science
- Medical Education
- Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)
Background
- Scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) research enhances learning through reflective teaching practices.
- While typically faculty-driven, student involvement in SoTL yields benefits for both students and educators.
- Developing student interest, confidence, and engagement in SoTL is crucial for advancing medical education.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop a framework for enhancing medical students' involvement in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
- To foster greater interest, confidence, and engagement in SoTL among medical students.
Main Methods
- Established a student-led SoTL interest group with a faculty advisor.
- Implemented a year-round SoTL program managed by student leaders.
- Utilized pre- and post-program surveys to assess impact and post-session surveys for participant feedback.
Main Results
- The SoTL program successfully engaged both medical students and faculty.
- Survey data revealed strong student interest and positive program outcomes.
- Student participants reported increased confidence and interest in medical education research.
- The program facilitated networking and feedback opportunities for students in medical education research.
Conclusions
- The study offers a replicable framework for institutions to cultivate student engagement in SoTL.
- This model can guide the development of programs aimed at educating and involving students in SoTL initiatives.
- Implementing such frameworks can foster a new generation of educators and researchers in medical education.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
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,...
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...
