7. Curriculum Inventory Standardized Vocabulary Update Independent Learning: Instructor-/ or mentor-guided learning activities to be performed by the learner outside of formal educational settings (classroom, lab, clinic) (Bowen & Smith, 2010); Dedicated time on learner schedules to prepare for specific learning activities, e.g., case discussions, TBL, PBL, clinical activities, research project(s). Synonymous with/Includes: Independent Study; Self-Study, Homework Does not include: Self-Directed Learning Self-Directed Learning: Learners taking the initiative for their own learning: diagnosing needs, formulating goals, identifying resources, implementing appropriate activities, and evaluating outcomes (Garrison, 1997; Spencer & Jordan, 1999). Does not include: Independent Learning; Independent Study Only time that is blocked out on the calendar should be coded as self-directed learning or independent study

8. Curriculum Inventory Standardized Vocabulary Update Direct Observation (with thanks to Hugh Stoddard, Emory): two reliable sources point towards our interpretation that using a “checklist or rating” is a method, not a resource (and that “observation” is not a method of assessment). In the first chapter of the ACE Handbook, Bill McGaghie includes both ‘checklist’ and ‘rating scale’ in Table 1 of Chapter 1 which shows the “Evaluation Methods Commonly Used in Medical Education.” He did not include “observation” as a method anywhere in this table of 16 commonly used methods. (Pangaro, Louis N., and William C. McGaghie, eds. Handbook on Medical Student Evaluation and Assessment. Gegensatz Press, 2015.)

9. Curriculum Inventory Standardized Vocabulary Update More importantly, at the theoretical level, the quotes below from chapter 1 of a book sponsored by the National Research Council explain the necessary characteristics of an assessment (Pellegrino, James W., Naomi Chudowsky, and Robert Glaser. Knowing what students know: The science and design of educational assessment. Washington (2001). [ http://www.nap.edu/read/10019/chapter/1])http://www.nap.edu/read/10019/chapter/1 “Every educational assessment, whether used in the classroom or largescale context, is based on a set of scientific principles and philosophical assumptions” “First, every assessment is grounded in a conception or theory about how people learn, what they know, and how knowledge and understanding progress over time. Second, each assessment embodies certain assumptions about which kinds of observations, or tasks, are most likely to elicit demonstrations of important knowledge and skills from students. Third, every assessment is premised on certain assumptions about how best to interpret the evidence from the observations to draw meaningful inferences about what students know and can do.”

10. Curriculum Inventory Standardized Vocabulary Update The assessment methods of using a checklist or rating scale are based on assumptions about what is known, how that knowledge is manifested, and how results should be interpreted. (Granted, many Med Ed programs simply use checklists/ratings as tools and do not give much attention to the underlying theory of cognition or interpretation.) On the other hand, “observation” is a means of gathering data that contributes to many assessment methods, but we have not found literature to support learning theory or psychometric principle that would be inherent in the act of ‘direct observation’ itself.
