I found this interesting Video on Youtube, I believe that it has good ideas for the future of teaching styles. I currently find that both lectures and PBL groups in medicine to lack motivational concepts. As lectures are follow the leader, and although PBL encourages discussion, many people have other commitments and so don’t fully participate in the PBL process and so they are also following the knowledge of other people in their PBL group. Another issue that came up in the first semester of this year was that two text books provided contradictory evidence. Now if only one person looked up this information and didn’t question it then this would lead to a problem as they could have the wrong information and therefore a group of theoretically well trained medical professionals could have the wrong information and therefore provide incorrect treatment for their patients. So I think that this approach might have a way in the future teaching of medicine.

P.S. I know it’s kind of a long Video but it’s worth watching.

P.P.S I hope everyone is having a great holiday
