The centre cannot hold
The notions of lifelong learning and a learning society have been an important policy driver in the European Union at both the Commission and national government levels for a number of years. Overall, these policies aim to promote the twin goals of competitiveness in international markets and social cohesion within the still-expanding borders of the Union itself. To date, however, the impact of this emphasis on lifelong learning has been relative…
Clinical risk and collective competence in the hospital emergency department in the UK
Modelling Medical Decision‐making Under Uncertainty
S ummary . This study investigates the heuristic knowledge which underlies expertise in a medical decision‐making task. Data are obtained from a process tracing study of a consultant physician. A production system is developed to simulate his decision‐making, tested on new cases, and compared with the performance of a second consultant physician and a representative sample of medical students. The results indicate that the production system perfo…
Models of Diagnosis and their Implications for Adult Professional Education
Transfer of Training in the Generation of Diagnostic Hypotheses
S ummary . Practice on simulations of diagnostic problem solving can provide the knowledge base required for generating hypotheses for new problems. However, this kind of learning may be inhibited if the simulation requires the learner to practise the convergent type of hypothesis testing typical of most diagnostic situations. This prediction was tested in an experiment in which 40 adults practised on a simulation of a diagnostic task, and were t…
Personality Factors Related to Self-Reported Lapse of Attention during Lectures
Self-reports of lapse of attention during lectures were associated with a combination of M(−) and O(+) in 10 mature students' 16 PF profiles
Test‐skill interaction errors in the assessment of nurses' clinical proficiency
The accuracy of tests of clinical proficiency in nursing depends not only on the nature of the test instrument used, but also on the type of skill being assessed. A task analysis of the nursing assignment of caring for a patient receiving peritoneal dialysis reveals that it involves a diverse range of skills. Four types of practical examination commonly used in nursing—self‐report, simulations, the ward‐based examination and continuous assessment…
The Effect of Type of Item on Student‐teacher Interaction During Feedback of Examination Performance
Seventy‐three State Registered Nurses following a course in intensive care nursing were given achievement tests, and then given knowledge of their results in tutorials. Half the students took a test of the ability to recall knowledge, while the remainder of the sample took a test of the ability to apply such knowledge. Measures of teacher‐student interaction during the tutorials showed that the application test stimulated more information exchang…
