Faculty application and perceived effectiveness of cognitive psychology principles in medical education. A mixed method study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of the study was to explore the extent to which faculty members in undergraduate medical education apply cognitive psychology principles in their teaching practices, and to evaluate the perceived effectiveness of these principles in enhancing student learning.

Methods

This mixed method study was conducted on faculty members of public and private sector universities. Focused group discussions were conducted, and the responses of the participants were measured on a 5-point- Likert Scale. The instrument was tested for validity and reliability by measuring Cronbach's alpha and performing exploratory factor analysis. Mann-Whitney U test was applied on the attributes scores to compare 13 attributes by institutions, designations and domains.
