Teaching Tips Video Series Online
|
|
During the Fall of 2018 I taught my final doctoral course in the Department of Teacher Education, called ‘Learning to Teach’. During class we studied ways in which educators can prepare professionals to think critically about what it means to teach well. The final product of these conversations resulted in the doctoral students creating a series of teaching tip videos that can provide support for clinicians and scientists who teach in small groups. The videos provide actionable teaching tips while also grounding ideas in empirical principles of learning to teach. Each video is less than 10 minutes and can potentially change or enhance how you think about teaching!
Topics include:
- Teaching is Complex
- Purposeful Planning
- Building Trust to Take Academic Risks
- Google Drive to Support Your Cultural Dialogue
- Fostering Purposeful, Productive, and Powerful Discourse
- Dialogic Process
- Think Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS)

Questioning as Clinician Educators
|
|
Asking questions is common practice medical education that has its roots in the use by philosopher Socrates. Questioning is a powerful strategy for educators to scaffold learning and encourage development of critical thinking skills.
Why ask questions?
- They help students learn by voicing their thinking
- They allow the educator to hear students explain their thinking – helping the educator assess student understanding
The Shared Discovery Curriculum is designed to provide fellows and other clinician educators questions to ask medical students. Many of these questions are really great high-level questions because the purpose of the SDC curriculum is to develop students/clinicians who not only understand the basic science content; but also think critically about why it matters, consider social determinants, and apply it all to patient cases and care.
Want to know what kinds of questions you should be asking and how? Read more about it on the OMERAD website!

Rob Malinowski Lilly Fellow
|
|
This year
Robert Malinowski
, assistant professor in OMERAD, was awarded a Lilly Teaching Fellowship. The Lilly Teaching Fellows Program, supported by MSU's Academic Advancement Network, is an opportunity to explore the scholarship of teaching and learning. Said Malinowski, “With the new Shared Discovery Curriculum, there are many opportunities available for educational research. My Lilly experience helped me to see what's possible.” Malinowski lauded The Lilly Program in providing structure and access to expertise from across campus, as he transitioned his career focus to assessment, educational research, teaching and faculty development.
Over the past year, Malinowski carried out a study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Just in Time Medicine (JIT) system for the Student Competence Committee. Explained Malinowski, “I explored how the committee was using the system, measured their confidence in making summative judgments based on the assessment data presented in JIT, determined whether JIT provides a multi-dimensional view of each student, and discussed methods for improving faculty development methods to teach physician-faculty to maximize their appraisal of student competence.” His study revealed that JIT is a crucial tool for the Competence Committee.
Malinowski also appreciated how the Lilly Fellowship provided connection to a network of professionals, from various units and departments, interested in scholarship in teaching and learning. “I look forward to using my Lilly experience to help improve instruction at CHM and further advance the College’s mission in the scholarship of teaching and learning," expressed Malinowski.
