“The explosion of knowledge and
decision-science technology also is
changing the way health professionals
access, process, and use information.
No longer is rote memorization and
option.”

Health (Institute of Medicine, 2011)
“Teachers must change their assumptions about
teaching and their approach to fostering student
learning in four ways…”

Shift from decontextualized knowledge to teaching salience,
situated cognition, and action
Shift from separation of classroom and clinical education to
integration of classroom and clinical teaching
Shift to an emphasis on multiple ways of thinking which
include critical thinking
Shift from socialization and role taking to role formation

◦ Learning is an active search for meaning
◦ Meaning requires understanding wholes as
well as parts
◦ Students use past experiences to perceive
the world
◦ Purpose of learning is for individuals to
construct their own meaning not memorize
◦ Knowledge is created

“This design allows for
creativity, organization
and precision on
selected topics. The
suggested 20 second
per slide challenges
you to identify only
pertinent points
especially since
people’s attention
spans are limited”


“The utilization of timed
slides in the Pecha Kucha
format helped me learn
to condense a large
amount of information
into small chunks”
“From the PK assignment,
I learned how to narrow
down only main points
and not be too wordy”

“The only downfall is
the preparation
time. If I am
remembering correctly
it took approximately 6
hours to put it all
together and complete
the voice over in the
time allowed”

“time constraint can
limit the medium for
complex concepts”
