4/ They both are using a framework for advancing reasoning (#BloomsTaxonomy and/or RIME framework).
I learned Bloom’s as a tool for curriculum development, but it works just as well as a tool for formulating questions.
5/ A recent paper in @MedTeachJournal on the topic of questions in the clinical environment also endorses this idea. It is a great article and very much worth your time.
6/ Here is what they write on the topic of applying #BloomsTaxonomy to questions:
7/ Here is the table they reference with example questions. I would tweak a few of these to make them less “right or wrong” based on principles from previous threads. Overall, it gets the idea across.
8/ If you aren’t familiar with #BloomsTaxonomy, it is important that you become familiar.
Practice using it by writing learning objectives for small teaching you are planning, or by selecting verbs from the list for questions you will use in your clinical setting.
9/ Another important idea that @LiangRhea brought up is that of Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).
This is the idea that to advance a learner’s understanding, you want to be helping them to operate in the ZPD.
10/ In the center circle, learners can already do the thing (too easy, little to learn). In the outer circle, the task is too difficult (the juice isn’t worth the squeeze). The sweet spot is when a task is just out of their range, but they can do it with help.
11/ Using the different categories of #BloomsTaxonomy, you can find where a learner starts to struggle. This is the ZPD for that learner for that specific topic/concept (H/T @GIMaPreceptor). Focusing your efforts there will advance their reasoning in the most efficient manner.
12/ Thanks for joining us!
Please, join us again next week as we dive into prediction questions and how they “prime the pump” for enhanced learning.
2/ This is our last thread in our #Feedback series (except for a recap next week), and we have saved the best for last.
Many argue that receiving feedback is the MOST IMPORTANT skill.
YOU are the key variable in whether feedback is internalized and applied, not your teachers.
3/ The content of this thread is derived from the work of the feedback gurus, Sheila Heen & Douglas Stone, law professors at Harvard Law School and experts in leadership, collaboration, and conflict management.
Both their book and this paper are definitely worth your time.
2/ Today, we will discuss the “struggling learner”, a terrible phrase that shouldn’t be used.
From now on, we will be discussing the learner who isn’t meeting expectations (LWIME). This doesn’t label, and describes their current behaviors, not their potential.
3/ Can we define LWIME? Per @JenniferSpicer4 & @gradydoctor, you need a measuring stick to say whether a learner is, or is not, meeting expectations.
Great tools are the #ACGME Core Competencies or #CanMEDS Framework. You can further break this down by specialty #milestones.
🙏 @ShreyaTrivediMD! Fascinating questions. My answers: 1. #Hesitations - Two things...
A. Already distracted by phone (email, texts, etc.). Will Twitter make it worse? Answer, yes. However, I try to limit my interactions to specific times, and turn off notifications.
However, can speak about issues, just not parties or candidates.
However, #45 doesn't care about Hatch Act. Should I?
2. My most meaningful collaboration in my career has come via #MedTwitter. @JenniferSpicer4 and I noticed similar ideas and content from each other, then set up 1 meeting, and @MedEdTwagTeam was born. We have never met in person, but have collaborated weekly for months now!
