The Individual Learning Plan (ILP) is a newly implemented curricular element designed to foster self-directed learning (SDL) skills among medical students during our surgery clerkship. Our aim was to determine the impact of ILPs on educational outcomes and acquisition of SDL skills.
Students were surveyed regarding the educational value of ILPs, their acquisition of SDL skills, and the impact of the surgery clerkship on fostering these skills. Mean scores for the NBME surgery subject exam (SSE) were compared before and after implementation of the ILP requirement.
Students perceived the ILP requirement as having strong educational value. Mean scores for the SSE increased significantly in the year following ILP implementation (74.9 vs 76.6; p = .042; d = 0.21). Students reported successful acquisition and frequent utilization of SDL skills.
SDL exercises, such as the ILP requirement, lead to improved education outcomes while fostering the acquisition of SDL skills.
个人学习计划(ILP)是一个新实施的课程元素,旨在培养医学生在外科实习期间的自我导向学习(SDL)技能。我们的目的是确定 ILP 对教育成果和 SDL 技能获取的影响。
学生们被调查了 ILP 的教育价值、他们 SDL 技能的获取情况,以及外科实习对培养这些技能的影响。在实施 ILP 要求前后,比较了 NBME 外科科目考试(SSE)的平均分数。
学生们认为 ILP 要求具有很强的教育价值。在实施 ILP 要求后的一年中,SSE 的平均分数显著提高(74.9 对 76.6;p=0.042;d=0.21)。学生报告成功地获得和经常使用 SDL 技能。
SDL 练习,如 ILP 要求,在促进 SDL 技能获取的同时,提高教育成果。
