IPPE Evaluations As the Spring-1 IPPEs come to a close this week, here's a few reminders for completing the student evaluations: P2 and P3 IPPE evaluations are completed in eValue. (Home Page -- Urgent Tasks -- Complete Pending Evaluations) There are new "Trust/Supervision Statements" in the IPPE evaluation. This helps OEE collect information about the student's progress through the curriculum, both in the classroom and on rotation. "Student observes the preceptor only" - This indicates that the student does not have the knowledge and skills to perform this task
alone. "Student performs with direct, proactive supervision" - This indicates that the student can perform the task with the preceptor looking on or guiding through the process. "Student performs with reactive supervision" - This indicates that the student can perform the task without the preceptor right beside him and "on call" if they need help. P1 evaluations are completed in ELMS, but remain the same otherwise. (Evaluations -- Evaluation of Student) Information about completing evaluations in ELMS can be found here: https://pharmacy.presby.edu/doc/preceptor/Preceptor-Guide-for-IPPEEvaluations-on-CORE.pdf
Journal Monitor There’s a lot in the literature about trends and improvements in experiential education. So we’ve created an easy way for you to keep up: The Journal Monitor. In each preceptor newsletter, we’ll provide you a brief look at some current articles. And we’ll provide the source information as well so you can take a look at the entire article yourself.
Reflections are a common assignment in both IPPE and APPEs. But preceptors want to ensure that the activity is meaningful for the student and not just perceived as "busy work." In this article by faculty from North Carolina State University, the authors state that it is not enough to tell the students to "go and reflect." By giving guiding questions and a framework, students are more likely to connect the experience with their coursework, challenge their current beliefs, and deepen their own learning.
The Articulated Learning: An Approach to Guided Reflection and Assessment Ash SL, Clayton PH. The Articulated Learning: An Approach to Guided Reflection and Assessment. Innovative Higher Education. 2004;29(2):137-154. doi:10.1023/B:IHIE.00000487 95.84634.4a
Though the article is written in the context of servicelearning, the application can be extended to experiential. The authors think this approach to student reflections moves beyond superficial understanding and enhances critical thinking. The 3 general phases of the reflection are: 1. Description (of the activity or skill or rotation) 2. Analysis (finding the similarities and differences between the theories learned in the classroom and the actual practice of it in the field) 3. Articulation (placing the student's learning in context and verbalizing it through clear selfreflection) In order to answer the "articulation" phase, you can use 4 guiding questions (similar to "What? So What? Now What?"): 1. What did I learn? 2. How, specifically, did I learn it? 3. Why does this learning matter? Why is it significant? 4. In what ways will I use what I learned in my
future practice?
