Why am I concerned? 2) Imagining possibilities and choosing one of them to act on in an action plan 3) As I am acting what data will I collect to enable me to judge my educational influence in my professional context as I answer my question?  4) Evaluating the influence of the actions in terms of values and understandings. 5) Modifying concerns, ideas and actions in the light of evaluations.
  • Making public a validated explanation of educational influences

    John W. Pelley, Ph.D. author of "SuccessTypes In Medical Education" Survival Strategy Learning Style Type Indicator he developed the SuccessTypes Survival Strategy as a realistic way of helping at-risk medical students improve their academic performance. If you are currently at-risk, you are dealing with several big problems at once. The root problem is probably not what you fear, that is, that you are not smart enough. Instead, the problem is probably in the way you learn, your learning style. Secondary problems are: 1) coping with the panic that sets in as the threat of failure becomes increasingly real, 2) coping with the challenge to your self identity as a successful student, and 3) coping with an increasing mountain of new material.
