| Title | The integrated reflective feedback tool: Experiential learning in resource limited settings | |
| Creator | Visser, Liesl Beckett, Nazlie | |
| Description | Combining key elements from the learning tools of reflection, feedback and debriefing into a single reflective event is a novel concept. This powerful combination amalgamates into a tool useful in experiential learning. Linking the three concepts in a way that combines self-reflection in a debriefing framework, powered by trusted peer feedback resulted in a new teaching tool. It was piloted within the clinical setting of the primary health care (PHC) clinics in the Saldanha Bay sub-district in South Africa among final (6th) year undergraduate medical students of the University of Cape Town. This sub-district is a peri-urban community and encompasses a district health care system with less resources in both human and infrastructure than in an urban area. Being intentional and analytical as to optimal use of every resource not only impacts the students but also alleviates the pressure on clinician supervisors of activities. Pairing students alleviates the pressure of the insufficient number of consultation rooms for solo consultations and the pressure on the single supervising clinician when the consultations are conducted simultaneously. Using this tool at the end of the session facilitates the reflection and experiential learning of both the students individually. Self-reports indicated this tool kept both students engaged throughout all consultations and facilitated peer learning Alternating between being the doctor and the observer and knowing what roles entailed, the students never felt victimised in the reflection and feedback on their performance. And individually they developed their self-reflection and providing feedback as life skills. | |
