27PCR24 PCR Teaching Assessment Board V02

Summary

In this discussion at PCR 2024, Chris Cook is joined by William W and Vicky Jenkins to explore the concept of the Teaching Assessment Board, a new initiative aimed at improving education quality. The board functions similarly to peer review in scientific literature, offering structured feedback for teachers and participants. Vicky Jenkins explains how this data will be used to enhance teaching methods and educational provision. William W highlights the ongoing development of the board, which will eventually be incorporated into various PCR educational efforts, including global courses, seminars, and webinars, aiming for continuous improvement in education.

Q & A

What is the teaching assessment board mentioned in the video?

The teaching assessment board is a structured feedback mechanism designed to improve the quality of education. It is similar to the peer review process used in scientific literature, but it is specifically aimed at evaluating and enhancing teaching and educational programs.

How does the teaching assessment board contribute to the educational process?

It contributes by providing structured feedback to both the teachers and participants in the educational programs. This feedback helps improve teaching quality and ensures that education continues to evolve and meet high standards.

What is PCR's role in enhancing education, as mentioned by William?

PCR invests a lot in improving the quality of teaching and helps colleagues deliver proper education through its programs. The teaching assessment board is part of a larger initiative to ensure continuous educational improvement.

How is the peer review process adapted for the teaching assessment board?

The peer review process, commonly used to evaluate scientific manuscripts, has been adapted to assess the quality of education. This structured feedback helps identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.

What is Vicki Jenkins' role in the teaching assessment process?

Vicki is responsible for working with PCR faculty to help them improve their teaching abilities. She will use the feedback generated by the teaching assessment board to identify what works well and what needs improvement in order to continuously enhance the quality of education.

What will be done with the data collected from the teaching assessment board?

The collected data will be analyzed to determine what teaching methods are effective and where improvements are needed. The goal is to use this information to continuously improve physician education and teaching practices.

What is the current status of the teaching assessment board?

The teaching assessment board is a work in progress. It began around a year ago and is continually being improved and expanded to cover more educational solutions provided by PCR.

Is the teaching assessment board limited to Europcr events only?

No, the teaching assessment board is not limited to Europcr events. It will be applied to all educational solutions offered by PCR, including courses, seminars, webinars, and other educational efforts.

How will the feedback process help improve educational outcomes?

The feedback process will help create a virtuous cycle where all stakeholders in education receive valuable insights. This continuous feedback loop will allow PCR to improve teaching and educational programs over time, leading to better outcomes.

Why is the teaching assessment board compared to the evolution of clinical practices?

The teaching assessment board, much like clinical practices, evolves and innovates over time to improve outcomes. Just as clinical practices advance to provide better patient care, the educational process is being refined to improve teaching quality and learning experiences.
