What are the Methods of Active Learning in Pediatrics?
Several methods can be employed to incorporate active learning into pediatric education:
Case-Based Learning (CBL): Involves discussing real or simulated patient cases to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. Problem-Based Learning (PBL): Students work in groups to solve complex clinical problems, promoting teamwork and critical thinking. Simulation Training: Uses mannequins, virtual reality, or role-playing to simulate clinical situations, allowing students to practice and refine their skills in a safe environment. Flipped Classroom: Students review lecture materials at home and participate in interactive activities in class to deepen their understanding. Peer Teaching: Involves students teaching each other, which reinforces their own understanding and promotes collaborative learning.
