Education Research: A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Journal Club Formats to Enhance Evidence-Based Practice Through Social Cognitive Learning Theory.

Background And Objectives: In an era of rapid advances in research, it is imperative for residents to develop the skills for evidence-based practice. Alternative journal club formats grounded in active learning strategies may be better suited to address this need, although evidence is lacking. A theoretical framework of social cognitive learning theory (SCLT) may provide insight into how journal clubs can be better designed to teach residents how to evaluate research.
