Workshop for 13th May 2012
A modest contribution from a newcomer to the game

Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases
Mini-quiz/survey
• How much time did you devote to preparing for this workshop?
A. > 4 hoursB. 3-4 hoursC. 2-3 hoursD. 1-2 hoursE. < 1 hour
2
3
Almost 30 students felt free to admit they invested little or no time in preparing the workshop
My emphases
• Some basic issues
• Item types
• Clickers for the “basic science” segments of the curriculum
• Some examples
4
What is this stuff anyway?
• A very seductive idea• A great way of actively involving the students
• A fashion wave?• A respectable technique?
• Do clickers actually make a difference to anything?
5
Well?
• It depends…• Some interesting literature
– With mixed results• Much ‘uninteresting’…
– With mixed results
6
What do we (I) want from clicker questions?
• Active participation of students (“engagement”)• Active discussion among the students• “Deep” learning and better understanding• Reveal misunderstandings and misconceptions• Improved knowledge retention• Attendance (?), grading, peer grading, etc
7
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE LITERATURE?
8
9
• A study in a Developmental Biology course• Strong case for clicker use in a clearly defined and
deliberate way• Addresses faculty concerns frankly and clearly
– Proposes solutions– Desscribes adaptation away from traditional methods
Electronic voting to encourage interactive lectures: a randomised trial
• Gynaecologists from Australia• Less convinced about the advantages (but
apparently not worse)• Problematic design, but similar studies and
findings do appear in the literature
10
Added value?
• An interesting angle• Methodology not well matched to our limited
use of the clickers (but the future is a big place)
11
• There is much more
• The next slide offers a useful resource

Bruff contd
• One best answer questions• Student perspective questions• Misconception questions• Peer assessment questions• Why clickers?
– Anonymity in class > safety > honesty > participation in discussion
– Individual responses can be tracked > accountability > grading etc

ONE BEST ANSWER
16
Which of the following descriptions most closely fits the term “formative assessment”?A. A quiz or test given to a class to enable students and their
teachers to assess their progress in learningB. An evaluation of a course being developed to ensure its
suitability for a group of studentsC. A student’s clinical evaluation of a child’s developmentD. A peer opinion of a teacher’s success in improving his
teaching evaluations by the studentsE. An evaluation of a piece of reflective writing by a student to
assess his perception of his progress

This is quite a subtle question that can be used to generate discussion; the answers could be diagrammed as follows:
LEAST CORRECT -C---D--------------B------E-----A- MOST CORRECT18
STUDENT PERSPECTIVE QUESTIONS
19
• We haven’t had a good opportunity yet to design such questions in medical microbiology
• Vaccine refusal will be one area for their use
20
REVEALING MISCONCEPTIONS
21
Case 3 – Severe pneumonia in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus on chronic steroid therapy
• A middle-aged woman who has suffered for years with SLE and requires maintenance therapy with corticosteroids finally has an opportunity to take a holiday at a luxury Hotel in Eilat. She returns to her home in Jerusalem feeling relatively well and rested, but after a few days becomes febrile and short of breath and within a short time finds herself in hospital with a severe pneumonia.
22
Here is an example from one of our Case Workshops of a question deliberately chosen to expose a common misconception…
The diagnosis reached in the Workshop is Legionnaire’s disease:Legionella pneumophila infection
Here is the relevant question…
14.What is the significance of the patient’s holiday in the clinical story?
.A רבים לאנשים חשיפה
.B באוויר סביבה וחיידקי פטריות נושא אבק של גבוהה רמהבאילת
.C מלון בבית ממוזג לאוויר חשיפה
.D מלון בבית חמים למים חשיפה
23
Here is the relevant question…
14.What is the significance of the patient’s holiday in the clinical story?
.A רבים לאנשים חשיפה
.B באוויר סביבה וחיידקי פטריות נושא אבק של גבוהה רמהבאילת
.C מלון בבית ממוזג לאוויר חשיפה
.D מלון בבית חמים למים חשיפה
24
This issue is then dealt with in the discussion and the source of the misconception explained
PEER ASSESSMENT
25
• The plan is to use for grading peer lectures
• 12 short frontal lectures prepared and delivered by small groups
• Grading
• Competition?

A very simple example that tests knowledge and a little calculation:- What is “ID”?- What does “50” mean?
A question that tests knowledge and reasoning/ application of knowledge, and encourages learning

Knowledge: • All the bugs > necrotizing fasciitis• Group A strep & S. pyogenes are the
sameReasoning and application: • What’s the finding in the photo?• How does it suggest a specific
pathogen from the options?• Which of the organisms produces a
confluent erythematous rash that blanches with pressure?
Learning:• The discussion preceding the voting• The discussion after the voting
Some bottom lines• Join the revolution…• Accept the inevitability of reducing
content– Transfer some of the responsibility for
knowledge acquisition to the students (assignments etc)
• Become knowledgeable in the use of the technique– Unnecessary to replicate others’ past
mistakes– Range of useful applications, even if not
every variation has yet been solidly proven to make better doctors
