Student Perceptions of Research Methodology Group Activity

In this episode of The APS Publications Podcast, we feature Dr. Ravindran Revand and Dr. Simran Kaur (both at All India Institute of Medical Sciences) discussing their Education Research published recently in Advances in Physiology Education. The study by Revand et al. incorporates an innovative approach to inculcate the basic skills of “research methodology” through three goal-oriented participant-centric group exercises: 1) framing a research question, 2) critiquing a research article, and 3) writing a research protocol. The activities encompass components of self-directed learning through unsupervised group dynamics. They focus on critical thinking, acceptance, communication skills, and teamwork during supervised group dynamics. Listen now to learn more.
