Summary
This study presents a 10-step process for developing problem-based learning (PBL) sessions to enhance self-directed and lifelong learning (SDLL) skills in medical education. This streamlined approach helps meet accreditation requirements for SDLL competencies.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Curriculum Development
- Accreditation Standards
Background:
- Self-directed and lifelong learning (SDLL) skills are crucial for medical professionals throughout their careers.
- Accreditation bodies, such as the LCME, mandate the development of SDLL skills in undergraduate and graduate medical education (UME and GME).
- Problem-based learning (PBL) is an active learning pedagogy well-suited for fostering SDLL skills.
Purpose of the Study:
- To streamline the development, delivery, and evaluation of PBL sessions.
- To align PBL design with accreditation requirements for SDLL.
- To provide a structured, 10-step process for implementing SDLL-focused PBL.
Main Methods:
- A 10-step design and implementation process for PBL is detailed.
- The process begins with defining learning objectives and PBL case content.
- It explicitly addresses SDLL components, accreditation needs, implementation, feedback, assessment, and evaluation.
Main Results:
- The described 10-step process integrates SDLL skill development within PBL.
- The methodology ensures alignment with accreditation standards for medical education.
- The process is designed to be feasible and transferable across different medical schools.
Conclusions:
- The 10-step process facilitates the acquisition of essential SDLL skills in medical students.
- Implementing this process helps medical schools meet accreditation mandates for SDLL.
- This structured approach supports the continuous professional development of physicians by instilling early SDLL competencies.

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

1.5K
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.

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...

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.

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...

Professional accountability in nursing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses professional ethics, legal standards, and employment expectations. This framework ensures that nurses maintain and elevate the quality of care while upholding the values of their profession. It compels them to treat patients, families, and colleagues with respect, compassion, and integrity.
For example, a nurse demonstrating respect and compassion might listen attentively to a patient's concerns, provide...
