at Andhra Medical College. 
Thank you for registering for the course. 
We look forward to several engaging and interactive discussions in various aspects of the science of training medical students. 
Please note that the MCI 
is very particular about full participation and has repeatedly been 
instructing us to maintain attendance sheets and present certificates 
only to those who are present for ALL sessions. IMPORTANT NOTICE :
Due to current situation - uncertainties, bandhs & disruption of activities, etc. Oct. 8th WORKSHOP is POSTPONED. Very sorry. will inform new dates later.
workshop dates = Nov. 5,6,7 of 2013. Please read up the matter (on Medical Education) given below towards the end if you can /wish.
Welcome to the Third Basic Workshop Please cooperate with us.
The tentative schedule is being printed below. 
We would be serving you tea & biscuits morning /evening & a working lunch. Course Fee = Rs.1500 per person.
The workshop is being conducted at the Seminar Hall in the Gynaec Dept. which is located behind the Gynaec Block in the hospital KGH.
For those who are not familiar with this place - the college (Andhra Medical College) and hospital (King George Hospital) are in the same campus which is quite big.
The hospital - KGH or King George Hospital is very popular and once you get into its Main Gate (In-Gate) it leads slightly obliquely (crossing two medical wards)
Then you turn right to the west and again turn right (north) and just at the corner is the Gynaec block of the hospital.
The seminar hall is behind the block (east of it) - so you need to go to the back of the block for which you have to go round it and cross the Cardiology dept and turn to reach the stone building - the Institute of Gynaec which has the seminar hall and some rooms for gynaec residents.

Educational
Technology for Medical Teachers – A Recap
Education = process to bring a
desirable change in the behavior of the student 
Latin
e-ducere means ‘to lead out’. 
Educate
= develop the knowledge, skill or character of . . .  
Educational spiral /
triangle consists of 3 components of
any educational program – 
-         
Objectives 
-         
Teaching/ Learning Experience or Activity 
-         
Evaluation 
Educational Objectives can be 
-         
National objectives (broad goals of medical education) 
-         
Institutional Objectives (for the college) 
-         
Departmental objectives (for the particular dept./ speciality) 
-         
Specific Learning objective (for a given task/ knowledge) 
SIO / SLO : A specific learning or
instructional objective must be 
                                    ‘FORUM’ – 
Feasible
Objective
Relevant
Unequivocal
& clear 
Measurable
e.g.
at the end of the posting in Gynaec, the 3rd semester student must
be able to 
- perform the 4 grips in abdominal examination of a
pregnant woman 
- mention the normal values of Hb, urinalysis &
GTT in a pregnant woman 
            - interpret the lab report of GTT of
a pregnant woman as normal or diabetes  
            - be gentle & maintain privacy
when performing a pelvic examination 
3 taxonomical domains of
learning – 
-         
Cognitive = theoretical / knowledge domain (Head) 
-         
Psychomotor = practical skills (Hand) 
-         
Affective = attitudes (Heart) 
e.g.
in the above objectives, 1 is psychomotor, 2&3 are cognitive and 4 is
affective. 
Curriculum – 
Is
more than syllabus. Besides the syllabus or knowledge to be learnt, curriculum
includes how the knowledge will be learnt, when, by whom, with what aids and
how it will be assessed. It is a written description of what happens during the
educational course. 
Teaching /learning
principles – 
Memory
consists of 3 stages – Receiving the stimulus, Primary or short term memory
& Permanent or long term memory 
Learning
is influenced by 
-         
Frequency of stimulus 
-         
Reinforcement 
-         
Internal motivation 
-         
Logical sequence, relating unknown to known 
-         
Competition with peers 
-         
Personal experiences 
Teaching /learning methods -
Large group teaching – for 30 or more students – 
-         
Lecture 
-         
Symposium – by  a group of
experts speaking serially 
-         
Panel – experts interact with a moderator 
Small group teaching /
learning methods – for
< 30 students 
Group
discussion – free or controlled by a teacher. 
Seminar
– usually by advanced learners 
Tutorial
– teacher guides a group, clarifies doubts, etc. 
Workshop
– for hands on experience 
Bedside
Clinics 
Demonstration
Role
play 
Field
visits 
Buzz
group 
Syndicate
Individual learning methods – 
-         
Reading / self study 
-         
Programmed learning – e.g. with a computer 
-         
Project 
-         
One to one conference 
-         
Simulation 
Teaching learning aids – 
Visual –          Non- projected – blackboard,
marker board, other boards, charts, pictures, 
Specimens, models, photographs, microscope
slides,  
-         
Projected – OHP, slide projector, silent films, epidiascope, projector,
LCD projector /powerpoint 
Audio –           Microphone/speakers, record player, CD
/cassette player, Radio 
Audiovisual – Synchronized Tape-slide,
Video films, TV, cine films, computer 
/DVD 
Others –          Simulators, manikins (for psychomotor skills),
computers for simulation, etc 
Chalkboard – inexpensive; can solve
problems, explain organization of a concept; only smaller group can see; no eye
contact 
Plan;
don’t overcrowd board; be neat and simple. 
Overhead Projector – need not switch off
lights; easy to prepare; can reuse. 
Can
write / draw /Xerox. Eye contact present. 
Use
only 1 or 2 colors. Preferably <7  lines per sheet. Letters at least 7 mm. high
& at least 7 mm. apart. One concept per sheet. 
Evaluation – 
Determining
how well (the extent to which) the student has acquired the educational
objective. A test is a tool for evaluation and has a series of items
/questions. Evaluation or the tests of evaluation may be – 
1.      Formative (to provide
feedback to student for improvement) or 
-         
Summative (test for certification for pass /fail) 
2.      Subjective – e.g. essay q.,
orals, 
-         
Objective – e.g. MCQs, OSCE, 
3.      Supply type – e.g. fill in
blanks, essay q. 
-         
Selection type – e.g. MCQs, True/false 
4.      Open ended – e.g. essay 
-         
Closed ended – e.g. MCQs, true /false 
5.      Internal exam – examiner
involved in instruction 
-         
External exam – examiner not the teacher of the student 
6.      Criterion based evaluation –
a set pass mark is pre-fixed & those who get it pass 
-         
Norm based evaluation – a set proportion of students are passed 
7.      Product evaluation – seeing
if student got answer 
-         
Process evaluation – seeing how student proceeded to the answer 
8.      Written / oral / practical 
9.      Continuous evaluation 
-         
Terminal evaluation 
Written tests can be – Long essay
question, Structured essay q., Short answer question (short notes), Multiple
choice questions, fill in the blanks, true/false, matching, 
Practicals can be experiments, clinical
examinations, OSCE/OSPE, standaradised patients, 
Orals /viva voce 
Other evaluation methods – observation & global
rating, structured observation, role play, project work, Self assessment, peer
assessment, patient assessment (360 degree assessment), portfolio, logbook,
record, interview. 
OSCE / OSPE – Objective Structured
Clinical / Practical Examination is a way of structuring the clinical
/practical exam to make it more objective. There are several ‘stations’ and
students keep rotating from one to the next. The student performs a given task
at each station where he is observed by an observer/ faculty with a check list
to see which steps he has done, which he has omitted, etc. This can be used for
evaluation and also as formative evaluation for feedback. 
Microteaching – is a method to improve
one’s teaching/ presentation skills. The teacher takes a short ‘class’ to a
small group of 4 or 5 peers or students, after deciding which skill he will
practise. The group gives feedback and the teacher may once again take a class
if needed to improve that skill. (e.g. skill of maintaining eye contact, or
voice modulation, etc.) 
Micropresentation is a modification of the
above technique which can be used to train PGs / UGs in presentation skills –
like case presentation, or viva voce. The emphasis here is on presentation
skills and not on subject content per se.
