Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background
Faculty development by conducting regular training, workshops and research related
to medical education has been a key feature to upgrade quality of medical education.
Objective
The aim of this study was to explore responses of the health science teachers, students
and peers after the workshop after providing training on student assessment tools
and teaching-learning methods.
Method
Two teacher-training workshops were conducted to the faculty members of B.P.
Koirala Institute of Health Sciences from the departments of basic, clinical and allied
sciences in Oct. 2010 and Jan. 2011. Qualitative questionnaire based study was
conducted, and the questions were validated before the study by expert peer review
process. The effect of the training workshop in real classroom outcomes was assessed
incorporating student’s feedback, evaluation by peers and the self-evaluation by the
teacher trainees.
Result
Pre-test and post-test scores of the participating teachers, before and after the
workshop were 62.53 and 71.17 respectively. Among the participants 90.3% teachers
expressed enhanced in their role as a teacher for medical undergraduates after the
workshop.
Conclusion
In present study, the faculty members showed accrued interest to participate in
teacher’s training workshops. The peer evaluation of teacher’s performance in
their real classroom situations were rated higher than evaluation by the students.
Therefore, such training workshops will have a greater impact on the ability of
teachers in effective teaching in real classroom situations.
