“…By contrast with classroom learning, little is known about how to facilitate active engagement in lifelong learning in contexts other than those dedicated to learning, for instance the clinical workplace . This is important because a major part of medical education happens within clinical contexts and those are not intrinsically suited for active learning .…”

Where do we stand now? In the 30 years that have passed since The Edinburgh Declaration on Medical Education, we have made tremendous progress in research on fostering ‘self‐directed and independent study’ as propagated in this declaration, of which one prime example is research carried out on problem‐based learning. However, a large portion of medical education happens outside of classrooms, in authentic clinical contexts. Therefore, this article discusses recent developments in research regarding fostering active learning in clinical contexts. Self‐regulated, lifelong learning in medical education Clinical contexts are much more complex and flexible than classrooms, and therefore require a modified approach when fostering active learning. Recent efforts have been increasingly focused on understanding the more complex subject of supporting active learning in clinical contexts. One way of doing this is by using theory regarding self‐regulated learning (SRL), as well as situated learning, workplace affordances, self‐determination theory and achievement goal theory. Combining these different perspectives provides a holistic view of active learning in clinical contexts. Entry to practice, vocational training and continuing professional development Research on SRL in clinical contexts has mostly focused on the undergraduate setting, showing that active learning in clinical contexts requires not only proficiency in metacognition and SRL, but also in reactive, opportunistic learning. These studies have also made us aware of the large influence one's social environment has on SRL, the importance of professional relationships for learners, and the role of identity development in learning in clinical contexts. Additionally, research regarding postgraduate lifelong learning also highlights the importance of learners interacting about learning in clinical contexts, as well as the difficulties that clinical contexts may pose for lifelong learning. However, stimulating self‐regulated learning in undergraduate medical education may also make postgraduate lifelong learning easier for learners in clinical contexts.

“…Learning through participation in clinical scenarios such as these has been described to increase students’ self-confidence, motivation and sense of reward, as well as facilitating understanding and knowledge acquisition [15–17]. From my point of view, it was refreshing to learn by ″doing″ rather than ″seeing″.…”

“…Prado et al report that the use of more active learning methodologies are beneficial in a paediatric ward round, compared with traditional ward round teaching in three measured outcomes (their knowledge acquisition, whether they were stimulated to do self-directed learning and the student's opinion on whether the methods improved their knowledge) 11. Other novel methods of teaching and learning on a ward round have included using standardised patients in a simulated ward round, the use of video recording on ward rounds to enhance on-the-job teaching and learning and techniques to promote safe prescribing on ward rounds 12–14…”

This study considers different ways of maximising learning opportunities during ward rounds, with particular emphasis on the strengths and challenges of the paediatric environment. The focus is on the most common types of ward round - in acute units involving predominantly trainees - but we hope there will also be much that will interest those who work in other settings such as community clinics. Alongside a review of the best available evidence from the literature, and underpinned by educational theory, suggestions for maximising learning on ward rounds are presented. Many of these ideas were generated from working in small groups with over 90 experienced paediatricians, each with particular experience and interest in medical education, as part of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health's Paediatric Educators' Programme, the PEP.

Active learning on the ward: outcomes from a comparative trial with traditional methods

Abstract: The active methodology produced better results than the traditional methodology in a ward-based context. This study seems to be valuable in terms of the new evidence it demonstrates on learning methodologies in the context of the ward round.
