Didactic Framework
Discover the key pillars of our proven didactic framework for effective training and skill development.
Cognitive apprenticeship/role of the trainer
• From an active to a passive role
• The role of the trainer gradually fades throughout the training course
Competency-based medical education
• Orientation on the competence profile expected from a well-trained, independent and self-responsible surgeon
• Learner-centred
Scenario-based medical education
• Real-world context
• Briefing on patient case
• Learning goals and tasks
• S.O.P. (Standard Operating Procedures)
• Debriefing, assessment, and feedback
Simulation-based medical education
• Uses interactive scenarios to support active learning strategies such as problem-based learning
• The learner must apply his knowledge, critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a safe but real-world context
Cognitive Task Analysis CTA
The CTA makes mental thinking processes, which are automated and not observable, visible to the learner and therefore helps to cope with tasks, solve problems, and to make decisions.
