A survey was conducted to learn more about the use of feedback methods at five medical faculties.Methods: In the 2017 summer semester, teachers at Baden-Wurttemberg’s medical schools in Freiburg, Heidelberg, Mannheim, Tuebingen and Ulm were invited to participate in the survey. The link to the questionnaire was sent to the teaching coordinators at the various departments at each of the five medical schools. The teaching coordinators were asked to forward the link to the questionnaire to all instructors in their department. At one location, all instructors were directly addressed. The data were collected online.Results: A total of 464 instructors participated in the survey. Most consider feedback in medical education as important (23%) or very important (72%). However, some feedback methods are hardly used. The reason for this is, in particular, that some of the feedback methods are unfamiliar, e.g. checklists (56%), or not considered necessary by the instructors, e.g. written feedback (31%). Fifty-five percent of the instructors would like to receive further education or information on feedback.Conclusion: The results show that the use of feedback methods in medical teaching is expandable and that teachers find feedback to be important. Accordingly, nothing should stand in the way of a greater use of feedback methods in teaching. However, in order for this to happen, it is important that instructors are made more familiar with feedback methods.http://www.egms.de/static/en/journals/zma/2019-36/zma001253.shtmlfeedbackfeedback methodsmedical educationformative feedbackcompetency-based education |
