Medical education research
The medical education research (ger .: medical education Research ) specializes in the collection of data of the professional training of doctors and nurses, which to identify and evaluate the rate used for teaching and learning activities methods used and the content thus mediated and learned.
In terms of its methodology and also with regard to the study design used , medical training research is very similar to the respective research in social and educational science and has little methodological proximity to biomedical research.
An analysis by the Science Council in 2004 showed that medical teaching, in contrast to research and health care, was given too little weight in Germany . At that time, only a few educational research projects were established, but this subject area has expanded continuously since then. As a relatively young field of research, medical education research deals with a relatively wide range of topics and covers many different aspects. The spectrum ranges from basic research on cognitive psychology to practical studies in teaching and learning behavior. The findings can be incorporated into the creation and development of curricula and used in the alignment of the relevant faculties .
