Using Q Methodology in Health Sciences Education to Study Subjectivity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ramlo, Susan E. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2023
Q methodology is a unique, yet underutilized methodology designed specifically to scientifically study subjectivity. Q, as it is most often referred to, is an appropriate methodology whenever a researcher is interested in uncovering and describing the multiple divergent viewpoints on any topic. Such discovery of viewpoints provides insight into…

Chang, Yu-Che; Xiao, Xaviera; Nkambule, Nothando; Ngerng, Roy Y. L.; Bullock, Alison; Monrouxe, Lynn V. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2021
Professional identities research in medical education has made significant contributions to the field. However, what comprises professional identities is rarely interrogated. This research tackles this relatively understudied component of professional identities research by understanding emergency medicine physicians' perspectives on the important…

Yau, Sze-Yuen; Babovic, Mojca; Liu, Garrett Ren-Jie; Gugel, Arthur; Monrouxe, Lynn V. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2021
Recently, due to scarce resources and the need to provide an evidence-base for healthcare professions' education (HPE), HPE research centres internationally have turned to identifying priorities for their research efforts. Engaging a range of stakeholders in research priority setting exercises has been posited as one way to address the issues…

Patterns in Clinical Students' Self-Regulated Learning Behavior: A Q-Methodology Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Berkhout, Joris J.; Teunissen, Pim W.; Helmich, Esther; van Exel, Job; van der Vleuten, Cees P.; Jaarsma, Debbie A. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2017
Students feel insufficiently supported in clinical environments to engage in active learning and achieve a high level of self-regulation. As a result clinical learning is highly demanding for students. Because of large differences between students, supervisors may not know how to support them in their learning process. We explored patterns in…

Inter-Rater Variability as Mutual Disagreement: Identifying Raters' Divergent Points of View
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gingerich, Andrea; Ramlo, Susan E.; van der Vleuten, Cees P. M.; Eva, Kevin W.; Regehr, Glenn – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2017
Whenever multiple observers provide ratings, even of the same performance, inter-rater variation is prevalent. The resulting "idiosyncratic rater variance" is considered to be unusable error of measurement in psychometric models and is a threat to the defensibility of our assessments. Prior studies of inter-rater variation in clinical…

de Jonge, Laury P. J. W. M.; Timmerman, Angelique A.; Govaerts, Marjan J. B.; Muris, Jean W. M.; Muijtjens, Arno M. M.; Kramer, Anneke W. M.; van der Vleuten, Cees P. M. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2017
Workplace-Based Assessment (WBA) plays a pivotal role in present-day competency-based medical curricula. Validity in WBA mainly depends on how stakeholders (e.g. clinical supervisors and learners) use the assessments--rather than on the intrinsic qualities of instruments and methods. Current research on assessment in clinical contexts seems to…
