Description
Bethany Figg and co-authors report a mixed methods study, published in 2026, on how medical school faculty judge two ways of learning. Faculty development is meant to improve teaching, yet many teachers find it a poor use of time. The team compared a designed e-learning module with a plain text PDF that carried the same content.
Forty-eight faculty at a midwestern medical school were assigned at random to one format, then surveyed before and after the task. A small focus group added spoken views on both options. By blending survey numbers with group discussion, the authors show how teachers weigh ease, usefulness, and engagement when judging training they are asked to complete.
