Medical education is fast becoming a separate focus, and together with their clinical commitments, many clinicians now seek higher qualifications and professional accreditation in the field. Research is also developing, and there is a need for evidence-based practice in education, just as in clinical work. This review gives an overview of research into medical education, and explains the fundamentals of educational theory and the specific considerations for the quantitative and qualitative research methods that pertain to it. It also explains the application of these methods to two growing areas of research: technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and normative ethics in training.
医学教育正迅速成为一个独立的重点领域，许多临床医生在承担临床工作的同时，现在也在该领域寻求更高的资质和专业认证。研究也在不断发展，与临床工作一样，教育领域也需要循证实践。本综述概述了医学教育研究，并解释了教育理论的基本原理以及与之相关的定量和定性研究方法的具体注意事项。它还解释了这些方法在两个不断发展的研究领域中的应用：技术增强学习（TEL）和培训中的规范伦理学。
