Background

           Outcome-based education is an educational system management, focused on learning outcomes and aimed to create competence learners equipped with essential skills. It is divided into  two levels: course learning outcomes (CLOs) and program learning outcomes (PLOs). Course learning outcomes emphasize on defining structures, learning activities and effective assessment approaches; therefore, teachers play a key role in supporting learners to achieve learning outcomes or expected knowledge, skills and learning behaviors. On the other hand, program learning outcomes are a curriculum management focused on results that could indicate learning characteristics and expected learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge and  skills capability, ability to understand learning value, and having more positive attitude to their professions than educational process. Theses outcomes in this level consists of three elements: (1) learning outcomes and objectives (2) assessment methods (3) pedagogy and learning activities or teaching/learning approaches. They should conform to the constructive alignment and the triangle of effective learning and teaching framework, or outcome-based curriculum and lesson plan design, to increase learning efficiency.

          Siriraj Health Science Education Excellence Center (SHEE) realize that there is a significant relation between outcome-based education and constructive alignment, thus organizing this online workshop on “Basic Concepts of Constructive Alignment in Health Science Education” to promote knowledge sharing on constructive alignment, learning outcome, teaching and learning strategies, and assessment in health science education. This course is suite for health science educators, curriculum developers, educational researchers, and health science education administrators who could enhance the quality of teaching and learning as well as outcome-based education in health science education curriculum.

Objectives

          To encourage health science professionals and educators to have basic understanding about principles of constructive alignment, constructive alignment element, approaches to develop constructive alignment in health science education.

Content

            In this course, you will learn about constructive alignment in the context of health science education which is divided into two parts as follow: 

       Part 1 : Theory 

• Concepts of constructive alignment
• Learning outcomes
• Teaching and learning strategies
• Assessment

       Part 2 : Practice 

• How to develop constructive alignment in your curriculum
• Reflection and conclusion

Details

            A full-day online workshop run by instructors from the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand

Target  75 seats  (Part 1 : Theory 50 seats / Part 2 : Practice 25 seats)

Outcomes 

By the end of this course, you will be able to

1. Develop effective constructive alignment in health science education curriculum.
2. Design learning outcomes and teaching strategies for health science program properly.
3. Explain basic concepts of constructive alignment in health science education. 
4. Exchange knowledge and experience about constructive alignment in health science education.
