Development of a higher-order instruction taxonomy, informed by best practice in driver education (Goals for Driver Education) and self-determination theory (guiding teaching strategies), was tested. Inter-coder reliability was assessed by coding 93 data elements from 5-min clips from three driving instructors. Seventy-three instruction and 32 teaching approach codes were selected. Reliability between two independent coders was high (IOC = 94.6%). Application to data from 17 randomly-selected, 1-h lessons (n = 3 driving instructors) in a pilot study of professional learner driver lessons assessed taxonomy validity. Missed, taken, and untaken opportunities for higher-order instruction via 9 instruction and 19 teaching-approach categories were identified. Reliability assessment and taxonomy application demonstrates evidence to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of driving instruction content and quality, with implications for assessing and evaluating the impact of higher-order instruction in relation to driving and other safety-critical sectors requiring higher-order skills.

Background: Reflection fosters self-regulated learning by enabling learners to critically evaluate their performance, identify gaps, and make plans to improve. Feedback, in turn, provides external insights that complement reflection, helping learners recognize their strengths and weaknesses, adjust their learning strategies, and enhance clinical reasoning and decision-making skills. However, reflection alone may not produce the desirable effects unless coupled with feedback.

Background: The professional development of faculty members is essential for improving the quality of education. Faculty development programs play a very vital role in continued professional development of faculty. Reflective Critique writing is an important tool for evaluation of faculty development programs, as it provides opportunities for self-reflection, self-critique and self-awareness.

Identifying the cognitive state can help educators understand the evolving thought processes of learners, and it is important in promoting the development of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Cognitive neuroscience research identifies cognitive states by designing experimental tasks and recording electroencephalography (EEG) signals during task performance. However, most of the previous studies primarily concentrated on extracting features from individual channels in single-type tasks, ignoring the interconnection across channels.

Background: Although the curriculum has changed, assessment tools are not in alignment with the new types of teaching such as early clinical exposure (ECE) and self-directed learning. Both in summative and formative assessment most commonly used tools for assessment of cognitive domain are written formats including MCQ. However, these assessment tools such as MCQ and written essays cannot assess the higher order thinking skills and clinical reasoning skills.

Article Synopsis
  • - The ASM Curriculum Guidelines emphasize the importance of active learning in microbiology courses, suggesting that this approach promotes student participation and success, despite the temptation of resorting to traditional lectures in content-heavy courses.
  • - A case series focusing on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was developed to boost student engagement by connecting various microbiology concepts through different learning objectives, utilizing methods like case-based learning and real-world data analysis.
  • - Student feedback has shown that they prefer these interactive activities over typical lectures, as the case series helps them better understand and relate key microbiological concepts, fostering higher-order thinking and real-world application.
