| Course objective : | After the seminars, participants will be able to:
- master the theoretical foundations of problem-based learning
- master the basic concepts of the dynamics of working in small groups.
- identify the stakes of tutoring learning in small groups
- recognize possible pitfalls of tutoring in small groups and work out solutions to avoid them
- transfer problem-based learning methods and/or concepts to construct a pedagogical plan which is adapted to their individual situation. |
|
| Prerequisites : | The general introduction to PBL and the seminar on tutoring are pre-requisite for participation in other activities. |
|
| Organization : | 1. General introduction to PBL and tutor role (3 hours)
2. Tutoring for learning in small groups (3h)
3. Participation in an PBL seminar + debriefing (2 x 1¿ hours)
4. Or participation in an CPS seminar + debriefing (1¿ hours + 2¿ hours)
5. Or participation in a CR seminar + debriefing (1¿ hours). Choice of modality 2, 3 or 4 should be based on transferability to participants' context.
6. Sessions devoted to tutoring
7. Tutoring for problem-based and small group learning (3 hours)
During this activity coaching in different seminars, based on project-based learning and which can be applied at specific moments of the medical science courses, will be presented and discussed. The role of the tutor and the challenges facing him or her will be decontextualised.
8. Participation in the training seminar on PBL for students in the Faculty of Medicine and new tutors (3 hours)
Please note that a minimum of five participants is required for this course to take place. |
|
| Assessment : | Drafting a report (2-5 pages) explaining how this course was useful for your own reflections on your classes, what can be transferred and what you have been able to transfer and why (or why not).
The reflective report will be useful for participants wishing to adjust (improve) their own classes. It will be evaluated on the following criteria :
- reference to theoretical elements and experiences covered in class
- the reflexivity (questioning, critical analysis) which the piece of work demonstrates
- format (APA references, respecting instructions, structure, quality of spelling and syntax)
This course amounts to 5% of the end-of-programme grade. A minimum grade of 10 on 20 is required to pass the course.
If you undertake Formasup in 2 years, optional courses with a grade under 10/20 obtained in year 1 cannot be retaken in year 2. |
