Combining academic resources in medical technology education: a model working affiliation.

The consortium concept is being investigated by clinical programs in an age when accountability in education is of great concern. The Combined Programs in Medical Technology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center is presented as a model affiliation emphasizing individual program autonomy while contributing the strengths of each to the consortium. The salient points of the affiliation agreement as well as the committee structure to ensure cooperative curriculum development are described. Also included is a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the cooperative arrangement that have surfaced after approximately ten years of existence.

Criterion-referenced testing in medical technology education: Professional Performance Situation Model.

In applying the Professional Performance Situation Model to the medical technology profession, situations describing actual laboratory performance are used as a basis for defining competence. As these definitions of competence are derived, appropriate criterion-referenced (domain-referenced) assessments are designed to measure the achievement of competence. This paper describes the process by which situations representing clinical practice are derived, the extrapolation of skill and knowledge statements reflecting expected performance, the generation of domains of competence, the design of criterion-referenced assessments, and some examples of prototype instruments used to assess attainment of the competence. The techniques include multiple choice items, checklists for use in the clinical component of the educational experience, and the adaptation of the written simulation for instruction and evaluation in medical laboratory sciences education. Validity of this approach is discussed, as well as possible implications for its use in developing assessments to measure continued competence in the profession beyond the baccalaureate education.

Issues in the adoption of a new educational technology.

The interactive laser videodisc, with its large data base and rapid random access capability, has the potential to play a significant role in health care education. The introduction of this new technology in the last few years has been made difficult by several barriers to the acceptance of the technology. These barriers are grouped into issues of cost, quality and the resistance to change.

Lessons without limit: how free-choice learning is transforming science and technology education.

Societies are becoming nations of lifelong learners supported by a vast infrastructure of learning organizations. The centers of this learning revolution are not schools, but a network of organizations and media (museums, libraries, television, books, and increasingly the Internet) supporting the public's ever-growing demand for free-choice learning - learning guided by a person's needs and interests. Science learning is an important part of this revolution. Traditional boundaries and roles distinguishing groups of science educators and institutions are disappearing. To not understand and embrace these changes will impede our ability to enhance science learning worldwide.
