Collaborative Learning in Practice (CLiP) in a London maternity ward-a qualitative pilot study

El desarrollo de competencias en parasitología médica aplicando como estrategia de aprendizaje colaborativo en entornos virtuales

“…La práctica del aprendizaje colaborativo según Markowski et al (2022) entrena a los estudiantes en la toma de decisiones, el ejercicio de la dirección, generar un ambiente de confianza y buen clima de trabajo, la comunicación y el manejo y resolución de conflictos. Es importante que el docente promueva el trabajo en equipo con precisión y la seriedad que amerita.…”

Implementing collaborative learning in practice in a London maternity ward

“…A qualitative research design combined with pragmatic action research was chosen (McNiff 2013;Creswell and Creswell 2018). The qualitative approach supported the elicitation of indepth experiences by participants by employing semi-structured interviews and the transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke 2006); these results were reported in Markowski et al (2022). The pragmatic action research approach allowed the review of the changes in the cycles of implementation by following the steps of planning, acting, observing and reflecting.…”

“…Firstly, the pilot aimed to gauge the transferability of the CLiP TM model to a trust situated in the London region serving a different demographic of women and with a higher turnover of women and staff. Secondly, the pilot study aimed to capture the experiences of the student midwives and staff who participated in the CLiP placement experience but the full details of the study are reported in Markowski et al (2022).…”

“…There is a growing body of evidence to support the benefits of CLiP such as effective team working, students' development in confidence and leadership skills in practice as well as preparing them more effectively for professional practice (Hill et al 2015;Harvey and Uren 2019;Markowski et al 2022;Underwood et al 2019;Hill et al 2020;, whilst an increase in placement capacity was 3 achieved. In Greater Manchester, the model 'GM synergy', which is similarly based on the principles of peer learning and coaching was trialled and implemented by four universities and their health care partners (Leigh et al 2019).…”

“…Therefore, the CLiP model was chosen for the pilot study to be implemented at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QE) in Greenwich, London. The first cycle of the pilot study was commenced in January 2020 but was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 (Markowski et al 2022). However, this allowed the research team and steering group members to reflect on the pilot and to apply changes for the second cycle of the pilot.…”
