Micro-Learning, Micro-Practice and Micro-Scholarship : Making Major Moves one micro-step at a time, Accessible and Available to All

Prior to session reading and reflection exercise, with individual responses shared on group WhatsApp (Wednesday/Thursday week before session), to following blogpost - https://medicaleducationelearning.blogspot.com/2022/06/micro-learning-micro-practice-and-micro.html





What does 'success' and (making) progress look and feel like? 

  • participation and engagement metrics - completed writing tasks (daily micro-scholarship), and in order to write daily, it is required at minimum to engage in 'the process' (review, reflect, read, engage in conversations, give and receive feedback - synchronously and asynchronously) - basically 'take note, make notes and share notes'; and then progressively and systematically create (in public, and for public professional audiences) presentations and publications
  • participation in regular, scheduled and opportunistic 'events' - including meetings, conferences
  • qualitative and performance level metrics include acceptance, feedback and engagement 'with' audiences and peers (who, where, and at what level); or, to use a sporting analogy (moving from local, to regional, then international level / higher levels of performance[s] - which may include broader range, more depth, and both increasingly complex and simpler - meaningful and useful - outputs)

Three questions. Three (regular, daily) activities

  • Why learn? Read, get Exposure and Experience (on regular basis, daily). To take note. Develop and build knowledge and skills. Expertise.
  • Why practice? (What does this involve?). To make notes. (Write, Draw, Illustrate, Create, Build, Combine, Apply, Transfer to Professional Practice). Develop and build knowledge and skills. Expertise.
  • Why engage in 'scholarship'? Share notes. (Write on regular basis, daily. Share this. Make 'public' and get published. Publish. Demonstrate and Share). Knowledge and Skills. Expertise. (Know How, Show How, 'Feel'). To 'enter', (gain entrance), and participate. In an area (areas) of Professional Practice. Communities of Practice. Communities of Interest. Get licensed (to practice). Establish Credentials. Professional Standing.

Three workshop activities. In three sessions.

  • Who do you want to be? What role(s)? What setting(s)? For example - clinician, educator, scholar. Local, National, International. What do you need to do? Role of 'Presentations' and 'Publications'. In what settings? At what level? Local, National, International. Training (getting trained). Experience. Documentation. Logs (log books). Credentials. License(s) [to practice]. Admission [selection, to participate]. Portfolio(s).
  • Specific examples and exercises. Topic review. Case study. Case series. Generalisable ideas. Transfer to practice. Relevance. Usefulness. Analyse presentations and publications. What are their component parts? How are they put together and assembled? The process and 'recipe'. Reflect on what you are currently doing with your 'projects' and 'assignments'. Build on this. Increasingly do this 'publicly' in professional settings. Collect and document what you do on a regular stepwise basis. Not only finished work, but work(s) in progress. Including key component parts.
  • Pick one of the following (below), and work on this individually/in groups throughout the workshop, and present back - between session 1 and session 2, between session 2 and session 3; and in final 'report' on WhatsApp at end of workshop (before end of workshop - last 15 to 30 minutes of session 3 planned to give you all time to do this. Topic 1 - 'empowering patients' (how will you do this?). Topic 2 - 'keeping up to date' (how will you engage in 'lifelong professional education and training'). Topic 3 - 'organising and organisations, formal institutions and informal networks' (what is the future of professional organisations and networks?)
