Study Notes

Quranic Verse

Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.
This is stated in Surah Ar-Ra'd (11).

Medical Education Paradigm Shift

The presentation discusses a shift from pedagogy to andragogy in medical education.
Learners' outcomes are defined as:
- Defining the meaning of a paradigm
- Explaining the need for this Paradigm shift

What's Inside Us?

Thoughts and beliefs shape values, attitudes, and behaviors.

Paradigm Definition

A paradigm is a thought, mental image, or concept that manifests as feelings, resulting in behavior.
It acts as a model or frame, influencing what we see, feel, and do.

Paradigm and Learning Model

The presentation proposes a paradigm shift regarding how we learn, which involves considering what to learn and how to learn.
Knowledge and skills are only a small part of the overall learning.
Attitudes, and perception are significant part of learning.
The learning model is a system where input (teacher lectures), are processed through the learner's mind and brain, resulting in output (learner outcomes), while receiving feedback through assessment.

Pedagogy Paradigm

The current educational paradigm is teacher-centered, with knowledge and skills prioritized over the process of learning.
Pedagogy is centered on the teacher and emphasizing what to learn.

Andragogy Paradigm

Andragogy prioritizes active learner involvement and recognizes the learner's experiences and motivations.
The new paradigm emphasizes how the learning is done with motivation and experience of the learner playing key roles.

Heutagogy Paradigm

This is the newest learning paradigm, focusing on self-determination and continuous learning.
Learners take a more active role in determining their learning process.

Comparing Learning Paradigms

Pedagogy, andragogy, and heutagogy represent differing views on learning, with pedagogy being teacher-centric and emphasizing transmitting knowledge; andragogy focusing on adult learners and their experiences and motivations; and heutagogy advocating for self-determined and autonomous learning.
SPICES Model: This model details a shift from teacher-centered to student-centered approaches, including changes in subject-based versus problem-based, discipline-based versus integrated or community-based methods, and uniform versus elective or core curricula.

Conclusion

The presentation emphasizes the importance of paradigm shifts in education, moving from a teacher-centered approach to one that values learning outcomes more than just knowledge and skills.
It also suggests that learning should be viewed as a system with feedback loops.
