Description
The quality of end-products of any system of education depends a lot on skills and orientation of the teachers. With this perspective, IAP Education Center has taken the responsibility of orienting teachers of pediatrics to educational technology and pedagogy. The third edition of Principles of Medical Education is a humble attempt to fulfill that mandate. Written in the format of a self-instructional manual, this book is the outcome of authors’ experience of conducting educational workshops. The book includes chapters on teaching and learning, curriculum, educational objectives, microteaching, student assessment, academic counseling teacher evaluation, media and newer methodologies in medical education. The chapters on student assessment include most aspects of assessment from knowledge assessment to practical skills and non-scholastic abilities assessment. Media in medical education covers commonly used media, with a great detailing about PowerPoint presentations. This book is expected to make an enjoyable reading and enable teachers to apply many of the educational principles in their day-to-day teaching.
