Project description
In the first phase of project 6, we developed a document-based simulation. The simulation was implemented in CASUS and tested in a pilot study. In addition, we developed ten complex patient cases, which were validated in an expert workshop. Subsequently, three studies were conducted. At first, an extensive validation study with more than 100 medical students and nearly 30 internists with different levels of prior knowledge was realized. In the following two interventional studies, learners were supported in the collaborative diagnostic process by two variants of socio-cognitive scaffolding - collaboration scripts and structured reflection in the form of reflection phases. In the second study, medical students were supported in the collaborative diagnostic process by either a static or an adaptive collaboration script. In the third study, the adaptive collaboration scripts were experimentally varied with the reflection phases using a 2x2 design to investigate the effectiveness of the joint use of both forms of instructional support and whether the effectiveness varies with different amounts of learners’ prior knowledge. A total of 150 medical students participated.
