Basics of qualitative research: Grounded theory procedures and techniques

According to W. Edwards Deming, American companies require nothing less than a transformation of management style and of governmental relations with industry. In Out of the Crisis, originally published in 1982, Deming offers a theory of management based on his famous 14 Points for Management. Management's failure to plan for the future, he claims, brings about loss of market, which brings about loss of jobs. Management must be judged not only by the quarterly dividend, but by innovative plans to stay in business, protect investment, ensure future dividends, and provide more jobs through improved product and service. In simple, direct language, he explains the principles of management transformation and how to apply them.

Out of the Crisis

Preparing the books to read every day is enjoyable for many people. However, there are still many people who also don't like reading. This is a problem. But, when you can support others to start reading, it will be better. One of the books that can be recommended for new readers is experience and education. This book is not kind of difficult book to read. It can be read and understand by the new readers.

Experience and Education.

Phenomenology of perception.

Introduction: Transnational or cross-border higher education has rapidly expanded since the 1980s. Together with that expansion issues on quality assurance came to the forefront. This article aims to identify key issues regarding quality assurance of transnational higher education and discusses the quality assurance of the tropEd Network for International Health in Higher Education in relation to these key issues. Methods: Literature review and review of documents. Results: From the literature the following key issues regarding transnational quality assurance were identified and explored: comparability of quality assurance frameworks, true collaboration versus erosion of national education sovereignty, accreditation agencies and transparency. The tropEd network developed a transnational quality assurance framework for the network. The network accredits modules through a rigorous process which has been accepted by major stakeholders. This process was a participatory learning process and at the same time the process worked positive for the relations between the institutions. Discussion: The development of the quality assurance framework and the process provides a potential example for others.

Quality assurance in transnational higher education : a case study of the tropEd network

In a previous study, we established that compared to a written case, a video case enhances observable cognitive processes in the verbal interaction in a postgraduate problem-based learning format. In a new study we examined non-observable cognitive processes using a stimulated recall procedure alongside a reanalysis of the data from the first study. We examined the development of shared cognition as reflected in collaborative concept link formation, an approach to connecting a series of concepts related to a particular topic. Eleven paediatric residents were randomly allocated to two groups. After both analysing the same written case vignette, one group watched a video of the case in the vignette and the other group read a written description of the video. Both groups then reanalysed the vignette. After the group sessions, time-logged transcripts were made of the verbal interaction in both groups and all residents individually took part in a stimulated recall procedure. Causal reasoning concept links were labelled as individual or collaborative depending on whether they originated from individual residents or were directly elicited by verbal utterances from others. The video led to a significantly increased frequency ratio (after intervention: before intervention) of collaborative concept links but did not affect the frequency of individual concept links. This novel process approach to chronological registration of concept link formation offered additional evidence that shared cognition by means of co-elaboration of concept formation is stimulated by the use of patient video recordings in small group learning.

History of problem-based learning in medical education

Many medical schools have embraced small group learning methods in their undergraduate curricula. Given increasing financial constraints on universities, active learning groups like seminars (with 25 students a group) are gaining popularity. To enhance the understanding of seminar learning and to determine how seminar learning can be optimised it is important to investigate stakeholders’ views. In this study, we qualitatively explored the views of teachers on aspects affecting seminar learning. Twenty-four teachers with experience in facilitating seminars in a three-year bachelor curriculum participated in semi-structured focus group interviews. Three focus groups met twice with an interval of two weeks led by one moderator. Sessions were audio taped, transcribed verbatim and independently coded by two researchers using thematic analysis. An iterative process of data reduction resulted in emerging aspects that influence seminar learning. Teachers identified seven key aspects affecting seminar learning: the seminar teacher, students, preparation, group functioning, seminar goals and content, course coherence and schedule and facilities. Important components of these aspects were: the teachers’ role in developing seminars (‘ownership’), the amount and quality of preparation materials, a non-threatening learning climate, continuity of group composition, suitability of subjects for seminar teaching, the number and quality of seminar questions, and alignment of different course activities. The results of this study contribute to the unravelling of the ‘the black box’ of seminar learning. Suggestions for ways to optimise active learning in seminars are made regarding curriculum development, seminar content, quality assurance and faculty development.

Teachers' perceptions of aspects affecting seminar learning: a qualitative study.

Background: Community-based education (CBE) along with competency approach is increasingly becoming popular. However, there appears to be lack of evidence on CBE competencies for undergraduate curriculum, therefore this systematic review attempted to identify and categorize CBE competencies to determine the ones used frequently.Aims: The systematic review aimed at identifying and categorizing CBE competencies implemented in nursing and medical schools to inform all stakeholders of health professional's education.Method: A systematic review of electronic databases including MEDLINE, CINAHL, and ERIC and manual search of four medical education journals was carried out. Search was restricted to original research, published in English language between January 2000 and December 2009.Results: Nineteen studies fulfilled the search criteria. The competencies identified were categorized under six themes: Public Health; Cultural Competence; Leadership and Management; Community Development; Research; and Generic Com...
