Hello, At,
A wonderful post and several practical thoughts that I can use in the
classroom now. It reminds me of the most recent feedback session we had
with students in our Healthcare EMBA program. A comment that was echoed by
several students was that they learned a lot but had not expected to be so
actively involved in that learning. When asked to expand, one student
said, I expected to be told, not to have to discover. This is typical for
clinically trained professionals, they listen a lot, and imitte a lot, but
discover little (not a derisive commentary on their skills and ability,
just an observation on how they learn). A common phrase among surgical
residents is See one, Do one, Teach one.
