• Facilitative Style: Asks open, reflective, or emotive questions.
• Examples How do you feel about putting a needle in
someone’s bone?
How do you feel about caring for a non-
compliant patient with osteomyelitis?
Is it hard for you to ask about drug use?
• Who’s working: Teacher facilitates, HOWEVER:
Only the learner knows the answer..

• Suggestive Style: Asks leading questions..
• Examples 1. What germs cause osteomyelitis?
2. Which antibiotics kill those germs?
3. How well do those ABT’s penetrate bone?
4. What are the side effects of the antibiotics?
• Who’s working: Teacher is organizing it for the student.

Editor's Notes
Didactic - 40 minutes; Demo Role Play - 35.
Group Role Play - 1hour 15 minutes.
Previously, we've seen the importance of doing a Needs Assessment.
And we've practiced developing Objectives.
Today’s talk is a Methods talk.
We know that Needs and Objectives come in 3 flavors (Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes). Today we’ll discover that there are different Methods for dealing with different types of objectives.
There a 4 verbal teaching styles: Assertive, suggestive, collaborative, and facilitative.
[Animate]
Teaching styles lie on a continuum. It represents a range of behaviors. On one side it relies on the teacher's experience and on the other side, relies on the learner's. They are not mutually exclusive; during an interaction with the student most teachers go back and forth between various teaching styles.
[At end of slide] -
As you can see from the bone scan above we are going to stick with the osteomyelitis motif.
[SW-this is actually an osteoid osteoma]
Who is working: The teacher is facilitating. The teacher is helping the student to reflect, but it is ONLY the learner that knows the answer.
[SW- tell story of Eric at age 4 telling me he wants to be a girl. Ignored x 3-4. Then I started wondering where is this coming from? So I asked him, “Why do you want to be a girl?” He said, “Because girls can do anything.”
This is facilitative.
I then used an assertive approach, “Boys can do anything, also.”
*The teacher is really asking, ”How do I choose an antibiotic?" But instead of asking that directly, he has broken the question down into its component parts. What’s really being asked here is, “What do I need to know in order to choose the best antibiotic?” In other words, we're teaching clinical problem solving.
If we just told the student, "Treat with nafcillin", they have not learned "why". They have not learned the steps you need to take to get to that answer. They will be less adaptable when the next patient comes along with osteo but who also has sickle cell disease and they forget to cover for salmonella.
To review: What do the suggestive and collaborative styles have in common?:
It is a joint effort between the teacher and learner. Both people are working.
Because the learner is quite active in the process, there is a built in needs assessment.
Both teaching styles deal with thinking skills and uncertainty. They deal with clinical situations that are not black and white.
The difference has to do with how hard the teacher is working. The more dependent on the teacher, the more Suggestive the style. The more the student is structuring the interaction herself, the more Collaborative the style.
When the resident finishes an H&P we say, "Tell me about the patient", that is Collaborative. The resident must figure out what information is even relevant. She must figure out how to organize the material, and must come up with a differential diagnosis and a plan. This is the most sophisticated response. When the resident can do this perfectly, we are no longer needed. What usually happens here is that they do an imperfect job. (This gives us our needs assessment. Now I know what I have to teach).
When using a Suggestive style, the teacher is structuring the experience for the learner. The teacher is asking focused questions which lead the learner to AN ANSWER. This is the Socratic method.
[1st 3 points] We've come to recognize that the verbal teaching styles represents a value-neutral model for classifying teaching behavior. No one style is unqualifiedly better or worse than another. It depends on the circumstances.
[Last point] Each of us has a preferred or dominant style or two. But because we may tend to overuse our preferred style and we know that certain styles are more appropriate for meeting certain learning objectives, then it follows that an important goal is to become more flexible in the use of teaching styles.
