Teaching effects of the online and offline flipped classroom model (FCM) in the post-epidemic era: Development and feasibility study.

With the rapid development of multimedia technology, the student centered flipped classroom model (FCM) and massive open online courses (MOOCs) have been increasingly introduced and implemented in higher medical education. However, comparative analyses of the offline face-to-face FCM and completely online FCM have been rarely reported. In this study, we focused specifically on a set of flipped classrooms in which prerecorded videos were provided before class. Using the Zhihuishu platform as the major online course platform, our team built a MOOC and evaluated the teaching effectiveness of the FCM in both the offline face-to-face class and the online electronic live class for medical genetics education. Questionnaires, paper-based and oral exams were used to collect data on the teaching effects of the different teaching methods. We found that student satisfaction and overall student performance in the offline FCM group was significantly higher than that in the completely online teaching group. Although online FCM allowed students to play back and review anywhere and anytime after class, students taught in offline FCM had a significantly higher degree of knowledge mastery, had a deeper understanding of theoretical knowledge, and were better at knowledge comprehensive application. The effects of their training on genetic disease clinical diagnosis and treatment skills were significantly better, and their capacity for scientific research was also significantly improved. Our research discussed the advantages of the online courses and the problems brought about by using these technologies, and it provided insight into online teaching practices in the era of internet-based medical education.

Leveraging Electronic Health Record Data and Measuring Interdependence in the Era of Precision Education and Assessment.

The era of precision education is increasingly leveraging electronic health record (EHR) data to assess residents' clinical performance. But precision in what the EHR-based resident performance metrics are truly assessing is not fully understood. For instance, there is limited understanding of how EHR-based measures account for the influence of the team on an individual's performance-or conversely how an individual contributes to team performances. This study aims to elaborate on how the theoretical understandings of supportive and collaborative interdependence are captured in residents' EHR-based metrics. Using a mixed methods study design, the authors conducted a secondary analysis of 5 existing quantitative and qualitative datasets used in previous EHR studies to investigate how aspects of interdependence shape the ways that team-based care is provided to patients. Quantitative analyses of 16 EHR-based metrics found variability in faculty and resident performance (both between and within resident). Qualitative analyses revealed that faculty lack awareness of their own EHR-based performance metrics, which limits their ability to act interdependently with residents in an evidence-informed fashion. The lens of interdependence elucidates how resident practice patterns develop across residency training, shifting from supportive to collaborative interdependence over time. Joint displays merging the quantitative and qualitative analyses showed that residents are aware of variability in faculty's practice patterns and that viewing resident EHR-based measures without accounting for the interdependence of residents with faculty is problematic, particularly within the framework of precision education. To prepare for this new paradigm of precision education, educators need to develop and evaluate theoretically robust models that measure interdependence in EHR-based metrics, affording more nuanced interpretation of such metrics when assessing residents throughout training.

Trainees' Perspectives on the Next Era of Assessment and Precision Education.

The next era of assessment in medical education promises new assessment systems, increased focus on ensuring high-quality equitable patient care, and precision education to drive learning and improvement. The potential benefits of using learning analytics and technology to augment medical training abound. To ensure that the ideals of this future for medical education are realized, educators should partner with trainees to build and implement new assessment systems. Coproduction of assessment systems by educators and trainees will help to ensure that new educational interventions are feasible and sustainable. In this paper, the authors provide a trainee perspective on 5 key areas that affect trainees in the next era of assessment: (1) precision education, (2) assessor education, (3) transparency in assessment development and implementation, (4) ongoing evaluation of the consequences of assessment, and (5) patient care data as sources of education outcomes.As precision education is developed, it is critical that trainees understand how their educational data are collected, stored, and ultimately utilized for educational outcomes. Since assessors play a key role in generating assessment data, it is important that they are prepared to give high-quality assessments and are continuously evaluated on their abilities. Transparency in the development and implementation of assessments requires communicating how assessments are created, the evidence behind them, and their intended uses. Furthermore, ongoing evaluation of the intended and unintended consequences that new assessments have on trainees should be conducted and communicated to trainees. Finally, trainees should participate in determining what patient care data are used to inform educational outcomes. The authors believe that trainee coproduction is critical to building stronger assessment systems that utilize evidence-based educational theories for improved learning and ultimately better patient care.
