You must be joking!

Hold on lets think about this..

AIM of this Workshop

WORKING WITH YOUR EXPERIENCES,

To consider the reasons for poor performance. To define the solutions. And concider specific teaching methods one might employ.

Outcome objectives

By the end of the session you will:

To be aware of the signs of poor/under performance. Be able to produce a needs based plan. Be able to choose appropriate teaching and assessment methods.

Are there any other issues that you would like to consider?

Think of a case you would like to work with? Consider a specific registrars

How did you discover there was a problem? What sort of problem was it?

So what are the signs and symptoms of poor Performance?

Signs and symptoms of poor

Performance ( clinical gaps & errors, assessment) Feedback from team members Significant events Summative and formative assessment Behaviour Inappropriate Professional skills, attendance, communication, attitudes Social, (distractions & conflicts) Language & Culture, Medical, (reduced capacity) illness, medication

So.. Having decided that there is an educational problem how do we define it more clearly?

The needs assessment. 3 VITAL steps..

1. Where have they come from? 2. Where do they need to get to? 3. How are they going to get there?
Puts needs in context>

The contextual Needs Assessment.

Need is defined as a gap in competence

What is the standard that must be achieved? ( Learning Objectives /competences)

How can we Fill the Gap! ( curriculum compacting)

What do we need to do?

Get general information:
From the Registrar ( Learning portfolio, SWOT,) From others: ( MSF) Assessment data (summative and formative)

Define the nature of the gap ( K,S,A,B) Define the reasons for the gap

Agree the methods to close it. ( approach to teaching)

(approach

Approach to learning

management, breadth and depth of vision.

Thinking of your case as an example:

1. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR GENERAL APPROACH (strategies) TO THESE LEARNING NEEDS?
2. THE TEACHING METHODS YOU MIGHT YOU EMPLOY?

So what Teaching strategies might we employ.

( student centred)

Emphasise Concepts, theories, relationships,

ideas, and generalisations. Let the Registrar express themselves and express curiosity. Let the Registrar choose what and how to learn. Encourage projects and private study Encourage reflection on experience Encourage integration of learning and practice. Emphasise lifelong learning and debate.

 Must be specific

The Prescription the teaching strategy should be:

to the problem

Must have clear learning objectives. Must BE LEARNER CENTRED: Must be agreed By all involved Must be palatable to the trainee Must be feasible time, cost & outcomes

 SO HAVING CONSIDERED YOUR TEACHING STRATEGY, WHAT TEACHING METHODS MIGHT WE EMPLOY, HOW CAN WE DELIVER THE PRESCRIPTION?

What Teaching methods could we employ?

Self directed
One to One
Skill practice, Reading, Reflection, internet and distance learning, , courses, OPD Concepts, basic principles, understanding demonstrations, role modelling Sharing experience, Presentations, Problem solving, critical thinking, collaborative working, attitudinal development.
( keep content minimal)

Small group

The Timetable
Learners needs must be prioritised. Time allocated must be appropriate.
Planning time Surgery time / study time balance. Tutorial time, assessment & feedback

Assessment of learning outcomes.

Re-test at regular intervals Focus on the agreed learning outcomes. Use the appropriate testing tool. Give positive feedback Encourage reflection on outcomes. Review learning log/ portfolio regularly. Consider repeat of needs assessment.
