A new science module at Hannover Medical School improved medical students' scientific skills and critical thinking through a longitudinal teaching concept. Students reported significant learning gains, particularly in scientific writing and literature research.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Scientific Skills Development

Background:

  • Hannover Medical School (MHH) introduced a compulsory science module in the 2020/2021 academic year.
  • The module focuses on enhancing scientific skills and critical thinking in medical students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the didactic principles and implementation of a longitudinal teaching concept for a medical science module.
  • To evaluate student learning gains in scientific skills and critical thinking.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the National Competence-Based Learning Objectives Catalogue for Medicine (NKLM) for curriculum mapping.
  • Assessed learning gains through student competence assessments, electronic assessment portfolio tasks (ePF tasks), seminars, and a final research paper.
  • Collected and analyzed student feedback via an online questionnaire (N=81) and evaluated approximately 200 research papers.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 90% of the cohort successfully completed module tasks, demonstrating significant learning gains.
  • Around 200 students completed a 10-15 page research paper.
  • Students identified enhanced scientific writing skills and structured literature research as key learning outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing scientific training components presents opportunities and challenges, requiring resources for smaller supervision ratios.
  • Teaching methods like assessment portfolios and research papers can strengthen the feedback culture in medical education.
