The document discusses improving self-directed learning (SDL) through technology and educational networking. It describes SDL as a process where learners take initiative in diagnosing their own learning needs, formulating goals, and evaluating outcomes. It emphasizes the need for SDL in medical education given changing knowledge and practice contexts. It outlines how technology like e-learning, mobile learning, and open educational resources can support SDL and how educational networking among students, teachers and institutions can help share resources and facilitate lifelong learning.

13. SDL in Medical Education

14. Why???
Knowledge that medical students acquire at school
may become obsolete when they join for medical
practice.
• Medical students are likely to work in different
contexts during their professional career.
• Doctors thus need to keep learning and engaging
in continuing education.

15. • The field of medical education has witnessed a
change in a student’s role from passive to
active learner
• this moves the centre of gravity away from the
teacher and closer to the student

16. Teacher-------Facilitator
• Concept should change from that of 'teacher' to that
of 'facilitator of learning',
'motivator'
and 'designer of the learning situation‘
and sometimes join the students honestly as a
continuing co-learner

17. How????
• Integrate basic and clinical disciplines
Students to meet patients early
• Small group teaching
• Problem base learning

18. How????
