Download or read book Learning style Inventory Use in Graduate Allied Health Education written by Antone R. Opekun and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most students enrolled in a Physician Assistant program perform well, but some lack certain critical learning skills needed for highly successful outcomes. Learning skills determine the mastery of target content. Many of these skills can be estimated by direct observation or self-reporting responses to specific queries and the patterns and preferences derived from those metrics comprise the construct of students' dominant learning style. The purpose for this study was to determine if a well-validated, proprietary instrument assessed learning skills of students as predictive of academic outcomes. Relationships between Learning Skill Inventory scores and academic outcomes were examined. A convenience sample was obtained of ninety-three graduate students consecutively enrolled over three years. It was concluded most students had not yet achieved a convergent learning style; that select item-components of the instrument are potentially better predictors of academic outcomes and a new model might identify students at risk for academic difficulties.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1094 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GEOFF NORMAN McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada CEES VAN DER VLEUTEN University of Maastricht, Netherlands DA VID NEWBLE University of Sheffield, England The International Handbook of Research in Medical Education is a review of current research findings and contemporary issues in health sciences education. The orientation is toward research evidence as a basis for informing policy and practice in education. Although most of the research findings have accrued from the study of medical education, the handbook will be useful to teachers and researchers in all health professions and others concerned with professional education. The handbook comprises 33 chapters organized into six sections: Research Traditions, Learning, The Educational Continuum, Instructional Strategies, Assessment, and Implementing the Curriculum. The research orientation of the handbook will make the book an invaluable resource to researchers and scholars, and should help practitioners to identify research to place their educational decisions on a sound empirical footing. THE FIELD OF RESEARCH IN MEDICAL EDUCAnON The discipline of medical education began in North America more than thirty years ago with the founding of the first office in medical education at Buffalo, New York, by George Miller in the early 1960s. Soon after, large offices were established in medical schools in Chicago (University of Illinois), Los Angeles (University of Southern California) and Lansing (Michigan State University). All these first generation offices mounted master's level programs in medical education, and many of their graduates went on to found offices at other schools.

Book excerpt: Four approaches to examining learning styles of college students are reviewed, and the use of information about learning style in the classroom, student affairs, and in the overall college work setting is addressed. Areas where additional research is needed are identified, along with steps that colleges can take to enhance the learning process. Approaches to learning style found in the literature are examined at the following four levels: (1) personality, (2) information processing, (3) social interaction, and (4) instructional methods. It is noted that the research on instructional-preference models supports the idea that matching instructional methods to students' learning style can lead to improved learning. Additional research needs include: determining more about the learning styles of minority students; clarifying the effects of teaching methods that are incongruent with a student's style; and identifying the connections and interaction between style, developmental stage, disciplinary perspectives, and epistemology. Steps that colleges can take to enhance the learning process include publicizing classroom research findings, offering workshops, and sharing information about learning styles with students. (SW)
