first part of the questionnaire was “Do you feel able to...? (a) Give atalk on the topic, (b) Explain the topic to a teammate, (c) Correctly apply the topic in your work,(d) Understand literature or talks on the topic.” This question measured the trainee’s perceptionof his ability to apply the new knowledge studied in the course (i.e., mastery of the topics). Wehad to convert the answers to this multiple-choice question into a 5-point numeric scale in orderto be able to compare them with the answers to the first question. For this, we assigned a value of5 to the “Give a talk on the topic” choice (meaning greater ability), a value of 1 to the “Under-stand literature or talks on the topic” choice (meaning lowest ability), and for the two
) writing and using instructional objectives, (b)adopting active learning strategies, and (c) effective use of diagnostic, formative, and summativeassessments. Pre and post assessment of participants’ conception of teaching was captured by a20 question multiple-choice instrument that included demographic material (pre) and courseevaluation (post) as appropriate. Item categories on the instrument were drawn from Bransford’sHow People Learn (HPL) framework 1, a framework that is acknowledged as a practical way oforganizing what we know about teaching and learning today. Participant responses wereaggregated into four categories that derive from this framework (learner, knowledge, assessment,and community) and investigate how teaching methods
