Is adult learning theory enough?

For the past 20 years the professional guild of healthcare educators has been increasingly leveraging adult learning theory in the development of content and in the delivery of content to clinician learners.

What If We Re-engineered “Focus Groups” for Learning

Focus groups have been longed used to collect information, from market research, to educational research, to guideline-building consensus development. What strikes me is that in each of these models the emphasis has been on what the groups can provide the organizers - the information gatherers. In recent years my focus

Improving Case-Based Learning with Learning Actions Research

One of the most common challenges we get from partners who are integrating our natural learning actions research into their educational plans is whether the model is applicable (or necessary) in case-based or problem-based initiatives.

Nudging learners to effectively learn

Over the course of writing #SocialQI: Simple Solutions for Improving Your Healthcare I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to interview dozens of clinicians who expressed the challenges they face with lifelong learning. As currently designed, the great majority of medical education opportunities provide isolated learning experiences - a

Over the past year as I have been building the 'Natural Learning Actions' model I have had the opportunity to speak with a whole host of medical educators and learners. One of the areas of medical education research that has consistently come up in these conversations is how a learner's

Motivation, Lifelong Learning, and The Natural Learning Actions

I have been a big fan of BJ Fogg for going on two years now since I first met him at a conference at Stanford in the summer of 2011. In my opinion, Dr. Fogg's work on behavior change has the ability to significantly impact much of what we know about

What if learning, doing, and sharing were one action in healthcare?

I have gotten a lot of great feedback on a blog post I wrote last summer on my person blog, 'I tweet because it simplifies learning.' In that post I talk about what I call the 3R's of adult learning: recording, reexposure, and redistribution and I talk about how we must
