Study Notes
Introduction
- Curriculum maps enhance education quality, improve student performance, and advance public health
- This study aimed to design and implement a curriculum map for a master's program in medical education
Methodology
- A comprehensive framework was developed from literature reviews and guidelines (AMEE Guide 21)
- Faculty and student input informed the curriculum map design
- The map was implemented in a master's program on a trial basis
Results
- The map led to a comprehensive and coherent curriculum
- Logical connections between courses improved curriculum coherence
Discussion and Conclusion
- Curriculum maps are important for quality medical education
- This study did not prioritize evaluating map effectiveness on student learning outcomes
- Future studies should assess the map's impact on student learning outcomes and performance
Introduction and Problem Statement
- Curriculum development emphasizes pedagogical approaches like learner-centered, problem-based, and integrated learning; technology, and assessment
- The study focuses on the curriculum's coherence, asking:
- How do faculty and students know what the curriculum covers and where it's addressed?
- How do students know what learning opportunities exist to help them master each expected learning outcome?
- How is assessment linked to the curriculum?
- What resources are needed?
Curriculum Map Components
- The map considers what is taught (content, subject areas, learning outcomes), how it is taught (resources, opportunities), when (schedule), and how to ensure students achieve expected learning outcomes (assessment).
- Windows (sections) of the map include learning opportunities/spaces, expected learning outcomes, teaching strategies, student assessment, learning resources, course sequencing, and assignments.
- A curriculum map creates a comprehensive view of the curriculum's components and relationships.
Methodology (Design Phase)
- Identified stakeholders (faculties, students, curriculum planners...) and gathered expectations.
- Reviewed literature and international experiences in curriculum mapping.
- Selected AMEE Guide 21 as a framework for map design.
- Determined map components (windows).
- Determined windows' content, based on stakeholder input, relevant literature, and expertise
- Identified necessary information sources to populate each window
Methodology (Implementation Phase)
- Workshops for stakeholders to understand and use the curriculum map.
- A physical and digital version of the map were made available.
Results: Design Phase
- Stakeholders and their expectations were identified
- Literature related to curriculum mapping was reviewed
- AMEE Guide 21 was chosen as the design framework
- The map's design included windows addressing different aspects of the curriculum (learning opportunities, outcomes, teaching strategies, assessment, resources...)
Design of Curriculum Map
- A series of windows with learning outcomes and student assessment was created to understand the learning opportunities, teaching methods, and learning resources
Implementation of Curriculum Map
- Engagement stakeholders, physical installation, digital dissemination
- Stakeholders conducted workshops to understand and utilize the map.
- A physical and digital copy of the map was provided for easy access.
Discussion and Conclusion
- The map enhances the educational process and improves curriculum quality
- The map helps with curriculum improvement, coherent learning, and efficient use.
- Future research should evaluate the map's impact on student learning outcomes, curriculum performance, and student assessment.
- Faculty and students found the map transparent and helpful.
Limitations
- Visual representation was challenging due to the curriculum's complex dimensions.
Conclusion
- Curriculum maps are crucial for curriculum improvement
- They're valuable aids for faculty and students.
- Future research should examine the map's effectiveness on learning outcomes.
