The Relationship Between Self-Regulated Learning Competency and Clinical Reasoning Tendency in Medical Students.

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is essential to professional learning and practice across disciplines. However, the literature provides limited insights into how medical educators could leverage the SRL framework to support trainees' strategic processes in clinical reasoning activities. In this study, we investigated the relationship between SRL competency and clinical reasoning tendency as 64 medical students diagnosed a virtual patient in a computer-simulated environment.

Nursing Students Reported More Positive Emotions about Training during COVID-19 After Using a Virtual Simulation Paired with an In-person Simulation.

Background: Virtual simulations (VS) are educational tools that can help overcome the limitations of in-person learning highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research has illustrated that VS can support learning, but little is known about the usability of VS as a distance learning tool. Research on students' emotions about VS is also scarce, despite the influence of emotions on learning.

The Role of Self-Improving Tutoring Systems in Fostering Pre-Service Teacher Self-Regulated Learning.

Computer-based learning environments serve as a valuable asset to help strengthen teacher preparation and preservice teacher self-regulated learning. One of the most important advantages is the opportunity to collect ambient data unobtrusively as observable indicators of cognitive, affective, metacognitive, and motivational processes that mediate learning and performance. Ambient data refers to teacher interactions with the user interface that include but are not limited to timestamped clickstream data, keystroke and navigation events, as well as document views.

Japanese medical learners' achievement emotions: Accounting for culture in translating Western medical educational theories and instruments into an asian context.

Medical learners' achievement emotions during educational activities have remained unexamined in Asian cultural contexts. The Medical Emotion Scale (MES) was previously developed to assess achievement emotions experienced by North American medical learners during learning activities. The goal of this study was to create and validate a Japanese version of the Medical Emotion Scale (J-MES).

Adaptive expertise in medical education: Accelerating learning trajectories by fostering self-regulated learning.

Medical school is designed to provide students with the necessary education and training needed to be effective and safe physicians. Debates about how best to instruct medical students along this trajectory are abundant. Students learn through a planned curriculum as well as a self-directed one motivated by their own level of interest and ability to access and integrate the exponential growth of medical information available through technology.

Examining the role of self-regulation and emotion in clinical reasoning: Implications for developing expertise.

This paper explores the role that self-regulation and emotions play in establishing a clinical diagnosis in the context of solving a clinical case in BioWorld, a computer supported learning environment designed for medical students to practice clinical reasoning. Group differences between high and low performers were explored. The results revealed no group differences in overall measures of SRL but high performers spend more time than lows in a subcategory of the reflection phase (reflecting on prioritized evidence and results).

Motivation and emotion predict medical students' attention to computer-based feedback.

Students cannot learn from feedback unless they pay attention to it. This study investigated relationships between the personal factors of achievement goal orientations, achievement emotions, and attention to feedback in BioWorld, a computer environment for learning clinical reasoning. Novice medical students (N = 28) completed questionnaires to measure their achievement goal orientations and then thought aloud while solving three endocrinology patient cases and reviewing corresponding expert solutions.

Pain Catastrophizing Correlates with Early Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Outcome.

Background. Identifying which patients are most likely to be at risk of chronic pain and other postconcussion symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is a difficult clinical challenge. Objectives.

Proficiency performance benchmarks for removal of simulated brain tumors using a virtual reality simulator NeuroTouch.

Objective: Assessment of neurosurgical technical skills involved in the resection of cerebral tumors in operative environments is complex. Educators emphasize the need to develop and use objective and meaningful assessment tools that are reliable and valid for assessing trainees' progress in acquiring surgical skills. The purpose of this study was to develop proficiency performance benchmarks for a newly proposed set of objective measures (metrics) of neurosurgical technical skills performance during simulated brain tumor resection using a new virtual reality simulator (NeuroTouch).

Creation of an evidence-based practice reference model in falls prevention: findings from occupational therapy.

Purpose: This study attempted to capture the evidence-based practice (EBP) behaviours of expert occupational therapy (OT) clinicians in order to develop a reference model of EBP in falls prevention.

Methods: Expert clinicians participated in the creation of a clinical vignette through focus group discussions. Using the vignette as the stimulus case, the same clinicians answered questions that reflected the EBP process.
