Learning in the Simulated Setting: A Comparison of Expert-, Peer-, and Computer-Assisted Learning

Abstract

CAL is as effective as expert feedback for teaching procedural skills to novices in the simulated setting. When extrinsic feedback is provided, the expertise level of the teacher seems to be a critical factor influencing effectiveness of training, with EAL being more effective than PAL.

Defining and comparing learning actions in two simulation modalities: students training on a latex arm and each other's arms

“…A similar finding was reported by Walsh et al . () who found that students who received feedback from fellow students exhibited greater disruption in skill performance relative to that observed in those who received feedback from an expert.…”

“…Research has emphasised that information from a more knowledgeable other is a favourable factor in students’ learning (Walsh et al . , Bjørk et al . , Haraldseid et al .…”

Integrated approach to e-learning enhanced both subjective and objective knowledge of aEEG in a neonatal intensive care unit

“…demonstration of clinical procedures, actual practice with machines, and learning via shared experiences), (7) it has been shown to be as effective as expert-led learning of practical procedures such as urinary catheterisation. (8) This improved skill transfer is possibly due to humans' limited attentional capacity for motor learning and the fact that novice learning can be impaired in the presence of too much information from experts. (8) Other criticisms of e-learning include greater delay in the creation and preparation of online courses compared with traditional methods of learning, as well as higher costs incurred in the implementation of e-learning programmes.…”

However, this may not necessarily be true in every context, particularly if there is a need for multiple sessions and/or when multiple geographical locations are involved.…”

Einführung eines Curriculums zur medizindidaktischen Qualifizierung von studentischen TutorInnen mit Abschlusszertifikat

“…Current studies show that peer tutors are just as able to impart certain knowledge and clinical skills as university instructors [1], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. In light of tight resources, student tutors present a major opportunity.…”
