Exploring the experience of postgraduate students in their transition from a health science to an educational scholarship in an African university setting

Abstract

Calls have emerged to improve the medical education process through scholarly teaching and education research. Little is known about the development as health professions educators of students enrolled in postgraduate Master’s-level programmes in an African context. This study explored the first-year experiences of students enrolled in the MPhil in Health Professions Education (HPE) at the University of Stellenbosch. The study confirms that Scholarship for Teaching and Learning (SOTL) for postgraduate students entering the health profession education paradigm from a health science background is challenging and provides pointers to advance SOTL in the South.

From Students of Engineering to Students of Engineering Education Research and Practice: A Collaborative Auto-ethnographic Study

“…The study by Adorno et al (2015) indicates that the transition into doctoral studies is characterised by uncertainty and chaos as the new doctoral students struggle to adapt to learning practices on doctoral programmes. The study of healthcare professionals on an MPhil in Health Professions Education at a South African university by Smit et al (2017) also reveals that the transition from a health sciences perspective to the educational paradigm is accompanied by experiences of dissonance and discomfort.…”

“…A key feature of the programme is the online discussion forum, and the dominant pedagogical approach is dialogic and interactive: typically, students are given materials, discussion questions and brief writing tasks before the synchronous sessions, which consist of presentations by a wide range of contributing academics, followed by questions and discussion. Our study is informed by recent work in research into doctoral education (see, for example, Adorno, Cronley, and Smith (2015) and Tyndall, Firnhaber, and Kistler (2021)) and in the fields of discipline-based education problems research (DBER) and SoTL (see, for example, Adendorff (2011) and Smit, Meyer, Crafford, and Parris (2017)) which suggest that the transition from professional practice and undergraduate disciplinary education to graduate level research and education is often accompanied by experiences of dissonance and discomfort. Potential reasons for why this transition can be daunting include dealing with issues and problems which are more social than technical, typically qualitative and not well-defined, ie 'swampy' problems' (Schön 1983).…”

Adaptation and Modification of The Professional Identity Formation Scale for Postgraduate Trainees In Basic Health Science: A Mixed Method Study

“…Professional identity development encompasses the amalgamation of one's personal and professional identity. (4). However, due to the complexity and multidimensionality of this process, suitable measurement criteria are not always available (5).…”
