“…Even though a causal direction cannot be inferred, these findings do suggest that APT may serve as a buffer against the negative academically relevant social-emotional effects of COVID-19. These findings are also in line with recent work, showing positive associations between general measures of student motivation, engagement and APT in face-to-face settings (e.g., Böheim et al, 2021 ). In the present study, we found that more APT was associated with higher student self-efficacy, more performance-oriented goals, more academic engagement, and less study-related burnout.…”

“…One of the hallmarks of dialogue-rich instruction is that it encourages active student participation: Students are expected to participate actively and contribute self-generated, genuine contributions to open-ended questions and explore them collaboratively. Recent research in face-to-face settings has shown that more APT is indeed associated with more overall student motivation and engagement ( Böheim et al, 2021 ; Kiemer, Gröschner, Pehmer, & Seidel, 2015 ; Wu, Anderson, Nguyen-Jahiel, & Miller, 2013 ). In the present work, we sought to examine if the same applies to online, remote teaching and whether, as such, it might mitigate the adverse effects of COVID-19 on student academic motivation and engagement.…”

“…Evidence from school settings shows that productive, learning oriented instructional discourse has measurable positive effects, e.g. regarding learning outcomes (24)(25)(26). With respect to medical education, such effects are just as plausible, but have rarely been deliberately investigated.…”
Introduction: Case-based group discussions (CBGD) are a specific, interaction-focused form of case based medical education dedicated to foster medical students’ skills of applying basic biomedical knowledge to patient cases. In such seminars, teacher question-student response patters are a crucial aspect. We empirically investigate to which degree clinical teachers progress from more basic, knowledge-oriented towards more advanced, elaboration-oriented questions in CBGD-seminars.Methods: We video recorded 32 case-based seminars in the areas of surgery and internal medicine. 21 different clinical teachers had taught and 398 medical students had attended these seminars. We coded closed-reproductive and open-elaborative teacher questions as well as reproductive and elaborative student responses to these questions. Interrater reliability was satisfactory. For determining trends regarding the teacher questions / student responses, we compared eight equally long time-segments per seminar.Results: Overall, clinical teachers posed more closed-reproductive than open-elaborative questions to students and the latter gave more reproductive than elaborative responses. Regarding the frequencies of these forms of teacher questions / student responses, we found no significant differences over time.Discussion: We found that clinical teachers did not deliberately modify the types of questions they posed over time to push their students towards more elaborative responses. Generally, this raises the critical question to which degree promising didactic concepts are actually put into clinical teaching practice. In our sample, we observed substantial heterogeneity regarding the variables in focus of our study. We conclude that medical education researchers should more thoroughly take different starting conditions and teaching approaches of different teachers into account.

Introduction:
Case-based group discussions (CBGD) are a specific, interaction-focused form of case based medical education dedicated to foster medical students’ skills of applying basic biomedical knowledge to patient cases. In such seminars, teacher question-student response patters are a crucial aspect. We empirically investigate to which degree clinical teachers progress from more basic, knowledge-oriented towards more advanced, elaboration-oriented questions in CBGD-seminars.
Methods
We video recorded 32 case-based seminars in the areas of surgery and internal medicine. 21 different clinical teachers had taught and 398 medical students had attended these seminars. We coded closed-reproductive and open-elaborative teacher questions as well as reproductive and elaborative student responses to these questions. Interrater reliability was satisfactory. For determining trends regarding the teacher questions / student responses, we compared eight equally long time-segments per seminar.
Results
Overall, clinical teachers posed more closed-reproductive than open-elaborative questions to students and the latter gave more reproductive than elaborative responses. Regarding the frequencies of these forms of teacher questions / student responses, we found no significant differences over time.
Discussion
We found that clinical teachers did not deliberately modify the types of questions they posed over time to push their students towards more elaborative responses. Generally, this raises the critical question to which degree promising didactic concepts are actually put into clinical teaching practice. In our sample, we observed substantial heterogeneity regarding the variables in focus of our study. We conclude that medical education researchers should more thoroughly take different starting conditions and teaching approaches of different teachers into account.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
