Research in medical education

Research in medical education aims at deepening the knowledge and understanding of learning, teaching or education by studying phenomena, interactions, and interventions; by formulating models, theories, and predictions; and by studying what works, why, how, and for whom.This paper seeks to clarify the term research in medical education and presents four broad categories of research approaches: exploratory, interventional, observational, and translational studies. Central to any research approach in medical education is a conceptual, theoretical framework of learning and education.ZusammenfassungForschung zur medizinischen Ausbildung zielt darauf ab, das Wissen und das Verständnis von Lernen, Lehren oder Ausbildung zu vertiefen, indem Phänomene, Interaktionen und Interventionen erforscht sowie Modelle, Theorien und Vorhersagen formuliert werden, und zu untersuchen, was funktioniert, warum, wie und für wen.Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, den Begriff Forschung zur medizinischen Ausbildung zu klären. Dazu werden vier umfassende Kategorien von Forschungsansätzen vorgestellt: exploratorische, interventionelle, Beobachtungs- und Umsetzungsstudien. Kern jedes Forschungsansatzes in der medizinischen Ausbildung ist eine konzeptionelle, theoretische Grundstruktur des Lernens und der Ausbildung.
