Session presented on Saturday, April 9, 2016, and Friday, April 8, 2016:
The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if course redesign assists students to become self-directed learners over time. The Research question is: What is the effect of redesigning a health assessment course using Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning strategies in a student’s ability to “Learn How to learn?” Faculty added formative assessments like weekly “muddy points,” reflections after viewing videos that demonstrated patient communication, and a comprehensive portfolio with an end of the semester reflection.
