Educational Workshops: Positive Impact on Teaching and Learning
Keywords:
educational workshop, health care education, innovative education, interactive teaching, educational workshop evaluationAbstract
The research discussed in this paper sought to explore the effects of the implementation of an educational workshop in the Health Care course at a vocational medical school. We applied the parallel group design where we compared the effects of the educational workshop with the effects of the traditional teaching mode in the Health Care course. In this study we investigated the levels of knowledge acquisition, the students’ active thought process, pedagogical communication, and the process of individualization and differentiation in the teaching of professional medical school subjects. By means of an empirical study, we sought to learn whether there are differences in the quality, efficiency and impact of the educational process. We observed an increase in the participants’ active thought process, interaction, pedagogical organization and collaboration. The results of our study are partly in accordance with our preliminary assumptions and they can be the basis for further research in the field of teaching.
