Obiettivi

Acquisire competenze nella gestione tutoriale dei casi PBL per studenti di Medicina (SMS).

  1. Conoscenza e capacità di comprensione
    Acquisire conoscenze sui principi, gli obiettivi e i fondamenti educativi del Problem-Based Learning (PBL), comprendendone il ruolo nella formazione medica centrata sullo studente, le caratteristiche di un caso PBL efficace e le responsabilità del tutor nel facilitare l'apprendimento di gruppo.

  2. Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione
    Applicare i principi del PBL progettando, conducendo e partecipando a discussioni basate su casi clinici, utilizzando strategie tutoriali appropriate per promuovere l'apprendimento attivo, il pensiero critico, il problem solving collaborativo e l'apprendimento autodiretto.

  3. Autonomia di giudizio
    Sviluppare la capacità di valutare criticamente l'efficacia delle sessioni di PBL, identificare i bisogni formativi dei discenti, fornire un feedback costruttivo e riflettere sui punti di forza e sui limiti delle diverse metodologie didattiche nella formazione medica.

  4. Abilità comunicative
    Dimostrare efficaci capacità comunicative e di facilitazione nei contesti di apprendimento in piccoli gruppi, promuovendo un'interazione costruttiva, il lavoro di squadra, la partecipazione attiva e una discussione rispettosa tra i partecipanti.

  5. Capacità di apprendimento
    Sviluppare competenze di apprendimento autonomo e di pratica riflessiva attraverso la valutazione continua della propria attività di tutor, l'integrazione delle evidenze della ricerca educativa nella pratica didattica e la promozione dell'apprendimento permanente nella formazione medica.

Contenuti sintetici

La metodologia didattica sarà incentrata sul modello PBL (Problem-based Learning).
Il corso si basa su una presentazione formale del metodo PBL seguita da un'attività interattiva su modelli di casi, role-play con il coinvolgimento progressivo di tutti i partecipanti.
