Key Socialization considerations that affect blended learning methodologies for faculty working with teams in a healthcare setting.
Understanding the nature of socialization working with groups in blended learning environments is fundamental for methodology design when teaching in a healthcare setting. This presentation will discuss results from a study which examined socialization aspects of blended learning methodologies and design used for faculty teaching groups in health care settings.
The presentation will discuss qualitative research results that centered around examination of cases studies produced from interviewing faculty members who teach healthcare workers and students at Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota. Implications of the study suggest the need for faculty development and organizational support that focuses on helping experienced healthcare teachers understand the socialization aspects of effective blended learning course design. Faculty working with groups in blended learning need to build confidence and skill levels when deciding the right balance of social interaction and technology use for the particular outcomes they are looking for in their courses.
