Abstract

Objective: To determine general and behavioral pediatric fellows' perceptions of a formal teaching course.

Design: Qualitative research design using a case-study approach.

Setting: Children's Hospital in Boston, Mass.

Participants: All first-year general and behavioral pediatric fellows (n=5) taking the teaching course.

Intervention: A 12-week teaching course given to all participants.

Measurements/main results: Data were collected using questionnaires completed by fellows; focused, open-ended interviews with fellows; and student ratings of fellows' teaching. Analysis revealed that after the course, the fellows perceived "teaching'' as an interactive, student-directed process; attained a greater awareness of the value of feedback; recognized new teaching opportunities; and changed their teaching strategies to reflect student-directed teaching.

Conclusion: This formal course influenced fellows' approach to teaching.
