Education Research Grant: A Multi-Media Case Study Pedagogical Approach on Electronic Health Records for STEM Students

该项目将采用一种经过测试的方法方法——一种多指标方法来评估STEM教学多媒体对本科教学和学习的影响——以电子健康记录（EHR）为主题。该项目部署了三个全面的多媒体案例研究，向STEM本科生介绍电子健康记录，并评估这种方法对学生学习的影响，包括对高阶认知技能的影响。评估学生实际学习的三个构念和标准是：1)学习驱动因素，2)内容驱动因素，3)高阶认知技能因素。将开发三个相互关联的定性和定量矩阵来评估学生的感知学习（感知学习矩阵），实际学习（实际学习成果矩阵）和学习过程（学习过程矩阵）。本计划所开发的创新多媒体教学方法，可望为学生提供电子病历运作的第一手观察经验，并可用于其他资讯科技主题的教学，在这些主题中，视觉化是非常重要的，而不是传统的教科书式的新兴科技问题讲座。

The project will apply a tested methodological approach--a multi-metric approach to assess the impact of STEM instructional multimedia on undergraduate teaching and learning-- to the subject matter of electronic health records (EHR). The project deploy three comprehensive multimedia case studies that introduce undergraduate STEM students to electronic health records and assess the effect of this approach on student learning, including impact on higher order cognitive skills. Three constructs and criteria will be used to assess students' actual learning: 1) Learning-Driven factor, 2) Content-Driven factor, and 3) Higher-Order Cognitive Skills factor. Three inter-related qualitative and quantitative matrices will be developed to assess students' perceived learning (Perceived Learning Matrix), actual learning (Actual Learning Outcome Matrix), and learning processes (Learning Process Matrix). The innovative multimedia instructional approach developed in this project is expected to give students first-hand observational experience of EHR operations and can be used to teach other information technology topics where visualization is very important as opposed to traditional text book lecture on emerging technology issues.
