Group work: Discussion, interaction I made sure to consult and hear the opinions of others, especially in questions about which it was doubtful. More convenient to discuss and make mistakes with the group members than with the lecturer. Group work was relatively short, so it is difficult to conclude that it contributed to the learning and understanding abilities. The lesson encouraged learning between the two lessons as an expectation of today’s lesson. Successful integration between independent reading, discussion with the groups and the instructor. No one develops working together abilities in two hours.
High-level thinking By having applied thinking and deduction from the individual to the whole as a group it requires going through the material and understanding the whole group. Although lessons encouraged thought and created interest, but more dependent on the tutor than on the special format. In-depth thinking while delving into a “tangible” and complex dilemma. What did it add to me to learn in the group? What I need to know to the final exam material is from the book only.
Complexity of decision-making process The case and its thorough discussion have allowed us to go deeper. Although there is a clear complexity, I doo not feel that the lessons and working in groups are those that illustrated it. Illustrating the importance of providing an explanation of all treatment options and seeing the drawbacks and benefits of all by presenting it to the patient. It’s good to hear other people’s, but in personal work too, I think I could get over these points.
Pleasure from learning Everything! It is much easier to remember and understand the material in this way. No student’s remarks I loved learning, hearing different opinions, medical indications, and learning form the tutor. The quiz in the first lesson is unnecessary and time consuming.
Designing of work concept as a future physician Shows that reality is not black and white as written un the book. Shows the considerations here and there. No student’s remarks The issue of the dilemma illustrates that working as a doctor is not always black and white and involves lots of complex decisions that we as students are less exposed to. There are a number of considerations that, when meeting with experts, we have already realized are complex. I didn’t feel it added a new dimension to me.
Impact on other areas beyond knowledge No student’s remarks The group work took place for a too short time and included some relatively simple questions. I did not feel that I was going through a significant process. I was exposed to different opinions of my friends regarding their worldview. It is very important to be exposed to different opinions in order to understand the complex system of considerations we are dealing with. Maybe after a few sessions, not a single session.
Satisfaction from learning Interpersonal interaction and discussion between group members allows for more comfortable, less judgmental and open. So, the course of the lesson is more fun, satisfying and instructive. There was not enough time to study. Working in groups on such an important topic is unnecessary for my opinion. Great idea to do this lesson. Undoubtedly, managing a clinical case with decision-making and a touch on medical ethics gives further interest. Nice process but I would get along with a different way of learning better.
