A Focus on Teaching: Metacognition - YouTube - 0 views

shared by nholl9 on 14 Sep 15 - No Cached
  •  
    This video explains metacognition not only in the teaching role but also in professional school (veterinary), which I think is very applicable to us as a class. She notes that metacognition is required even more so in the clerkship years, than in the first two years of school. She also give tips on how she applies metacognitive practices to the classroom setting. The practice I find particular noteworthy is the idea of the end of class essay to assess understanding and to dispel misconceptions.

Metacognition and Student Learning - Do Your Job Better - The Chronicle of Higher Educa... - 0 views

shared by nholl9 on 14 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • Poor metacognition means that some terrible yet hopeful singers on American Idol are unable to assess their own weak vocal talents. And it means that some students have a mistaken sense of confidence in the depth of their learning.
  • "Poor metacognition is a big part of incompetence," he explained. "People who are incompetent typically do not realize how incompetent they are. People who aren't funny at all think they are hilarious. People who are bad drivers think they are especially good. You don't want to fly on a plane with a pilot who has poor metacognition. A lot of reality shows like American Idol highlight people with poor metacognition for entertainment. Everyone knows people who are seldom in doubt but often wrong."
  • The actual exam should never be the first time the faculty or the students get feedback about the actual level of student understanding."
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • An understanding of metacognition, and the influence it has on our students, gives us one more reason to shift our courses away from providing students with a steady diet of lectures, punctuated by a few high-stakes exams.
  • And, as Chew pointed out in response to an early draft of this essay, students frequently don't ask questions precisely because their poor metacognitive skills have convinced them that they understood the lecture perfectly.

    Interesting article aimed at secondary faculty members to enhance their teaching skills. The author drew an interesting and humorous analogy between metacognition and American Idol (and other reality shows). Which I think it's certainly something everyone can relate to having seen at least a few minutes of the "bad singers" that kick off each season of American Idol. I think this is relatable because I'm sure everyone would agree that at some point in our lives we have mistaken ourselves for being better at something than we really are...which is the opposite of metacognition. In contrast, to continue with the Idol example, if one is able to recognize how poor of a singer they are, then in turn take voice lessons, practice singing often, listening to their singing and critiquing and making a plan to fix the issue and ultimately change course to actually become a better singer- that is the basis of metacognition. This article also illustrates several ways to enhance the classroom activity to help both students and instructor assess understanding.

Problem-based learning versus lecture-based learning in a course of basic pharmacology:... - 0 views

      although there was not an overall statistical difference in the results between PBL and LBL, there may be a deeper understanding in the pbl group
  • Regarding the main questions of the study that have been formulated above, two findings seem to be most important: Firstly, our study has shown, that it is in fact practically possible to implement PBL as an educational strategy under the conditions of a large German medical school. Secondly, the study provided sound evidence that the PBL approach does not lead to disadvantages concerning students' factual knowledge as measured by a combination of multiple-choice and short-essay questions. The results of our study therefore support earlier findings2[3]–4 and constitute another link in the chain of evidence indicating that PBL is equipotent to LBL as far as students' factual knowledge is concerned.Further conclusions are more difficult to draw: The fact that the PBL students achieved slightly better results in the category of short-essay questions might indicate, that an examination testing more complex levels of knowledge (i.e. on the comprehension or analysis level), is more appropriate for testing the outcome of PBL in terms of factual knowledge than multiple-choice questions. An intra-group comparison of the two categories of questions further supported this hypothesis, revealing that students who had undergone the lecture-based course scored significantly lower in the short-essay part, whereas their PBL counterparts reached similar results in both categories of questions. It is important to stress though, that the direct comparison of the short-essay results in both groups only showed marginal results. Also, the multiple-choice questions we used in our study were not intended to assess a more complex, i.e. comprehension or analysis level of knowledge. Hence, if there is a difference, it is not necessarily a difference between multiple-choice and short-essay questions, but between questions addressing different levels of knowledge.

Comparison of Learning Styles of Pharmacy Faculty and Students - AJPE - 1 views

    • Stuart T. Haines
       
      The authors and researchers compare the dominant typologies of student pharmacists and faculty using the Pharmacists' Inventory of Learning Styles (PILS).  Approximately 300 student pharmacists and 60 faculty members at a college of pharmacy were enrolled and their dominant PILS type determined.  Their analysis compares not only students to faculty, but also secondary outcomes, including year of school and gender.  This study serves to indicate that the PILS has been used to evaluate pharmacist learning styles and its application to real-world practice.

Advancing the pharmacy practice model in a community teaching hospital by expanding stu... - 0 views

  •  
    While this article does not relate directly to being a preceptor, it describes the success of a model of experiential learning within pharmacy- layered learner model. This model mirrors the medical team model with a pharmacy "attending" down to pharmacy students. It provides a way to get students more involved in direct patient care during your rotation. In the study, a community hospital was able to accept more students with this model and assign a small group of patients to each. Students were able to serve as pharmacist extenders by obtaining medication histories and providing patient education. This model allowed an expansion of comprehensive pharmacy services to numerous patients that would not have been otherwise reached. There was an improvement in HCAHPS scores within the "communication of medication" domain, an increase in patient interventions, and allowed for an expansion of the discharge prescription program. By utilizing the concepts of more direct patient care, preceptors are able to provide valuable opportunities to students and improve patient care.

Essential Elements for a Pharmacy Practice Mentoring Program - 0 views

  •  
    This article looks at mentoring and is key attributes differently than other articles, in that these things are examined in the context of a junior-senior faculty relationship. Previous articles looked at mentoring from a student-faculty standpoint. The authors also recognize that the mentor-mentee relationship evolves over time, and clearly define the steps or phases of the mentor-mentee relationship. The last section of the article focuses on how universities and other institutions can set up a formal mentoring program.
