A Systematic Approach to Inquiry-based Teaching
Presenters: Karen Spear Ellinwood, PhD, JD, and Richard Amini, MD
Intended audience: Clinical and basic science faculty
Description
This seminar will address how to engage medical students using inquiry in preclinical and clinical teaching/learning situations. How we frame questions determines the course of student learning. For example, open-ended questions are designed to encourage the learner to explore the ideas and how they apply in concrete situations. Leading questions are designed to elicit specific facts or recall. Compound questions may confuse the learner while "circle questions" require strategic thinking.
The presenters will provide an overview of the many different types of questions, how they can be used in classroom and clinical contexts, and provide examples of real encounters with students. The session will conclude with questions and discussion with the audience.
