Monitoring of PBL Facilitation 2009 & 2011 Melanie Alperstein and Acknowledging - Dr. FerozaAmien. Monitoring team: Cathy de Groote, Andrew Rand, Veronica Mitchell, Ruth Prescott, Debbie Constance, Sean Abrahams
Why monitor? • PBL was implemented in 2002 • In 2009concerns of quality of facilitation across groups • 20 groups in each semester 1- 5 • Small core of experienced facilitators • High turnover of the rest
Development of a monitoring tool • Developed by course conveners, facilitated by the EDU • Based mainly on literature related to roles of PBL facilitators and our experience of what needed monitoring
Changes to training based on 2009 monitoring • 2010 –Training of facilitators based on weakness identified in 2009 • Main change – introduction of explicit clinical approach - the SOAP model in PBL
Monitoring in 2011 • 2011 – monitoring the introduction of SOAP and any other changes since 2009 • Monitoring tool modified for monitoring in 2011, based on evaluating the tool in 2009 and introduction of SOAP
What was monitored? • Group dynamics – were groups working well • Learning environment/group processes (social congruence) • Facilitating support and guidance of students • Learning principles (cognitive congruence) • Following the PBL steps • Integrating SOAP (2011) • Evaluation and feedback
Who was monitored? 2009 – facilitators in semesters 3,4 & 5 32 facilitators 45 sessions; total hours 135 2011 – facilitators in semesters 2,3 & 5 25 facilitators 37 sessions; total hours 111
How was monitoring used? • Individual feedback to each facilitator • Weaknesses focussed on in PBL training in 2012 for new facilitators. • Aim to run ‘refresher’ training for all facilitators this year July, 2012
