During clinical education, experiences of radiography students are formalised, managed, and assessed to ensure competence in radiography. Clinical educators are vital to this development and help students apply theory to practice. In Zambia, the qualities of effective clinical educators of radiography students are not well-defined. This study explored the perceptions of radiography students regarding the qualities of an effective clinical educator in Zambia.Methodology: The study was conducted at the Lusaka Apex Medical University (LAMU) of Zambia, using a qualitative exploratory research design. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of eight radiography students. Data was audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed using framework analysis.Results: Three qualities of an effective clinical educator were identified: clinical competence skills, clinical education skills, and personal attributes. Exhibiting knowledge and experience in radiography and teaching, and displaying good communication skills were the most common qualities of an effective clinical educator that enhanced the learning experiences of radiography students. On the other hand, favourism was the main negative quality reported of clinical educators which hindered the radiography students’ learning process.Conclusion: The identified qualities of clinical educators will help radiographers who supervise students to self-assess, develop, and maintain the qualities necessary for effective clinical education. The study findings will also help schools of radiography to support their clinical educators and can be used for clinical education quality assurance.","PeriodicalId":233669,"journal":{"name":"South-East Asian Journal of Medical Education","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127436794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Learning theories have been proposed to explain how students receive, process, and retain knowledge. These theories differ from each other based on the underlying principles. Being medical educators, we should have an understanding of each of the learning theories, so that instead of taking sides with one specific theory, we should be broad enough in our vision to accept and employ them based on the nature of the educational experience. To conclude, it is vital that medical teachers should be aware of how students learn, and this aspect can be understood by knowing about different learning theories. Further, we must understand that there is an overlap between educational theories and they complement each other, and thus we should not consider them in isolation.","PeriodicalId":233669,"journal":{"name":"South-East Asian Journal of Medical Education","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124026846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Learning in the affective domain was hitherto relegated to the hidden curriculum, poses unique challenges, and requires use of additional teaching-learning [TL] methods that are not routinely used. Most medical college faculty members are unfamiliar with these methods. Case vignettes, video clips, book review, mock ethics meetings, field visits, story-telling (patients /caregivers / doctors), standardized patients, feedback from alumni/seniors, guest lectures, ward rounds with ethical checklists, news-paper clippings, assignments and projects, student seminars/debates and role plays are some methods that can be used to improve learning in the affective domain. Any of the teaching learning methods for affective domain listed above should be followed by reflection using Boyd’s triangular reflection model (What happened? So what? and Now what?). Teaching attitudes, communication and ethics cannot be done in isolation. It must be integrated into routine patient care and other everyday experiences that medical students are exposed to.","PeriodicalId":233669,"journal":{"name":"South-East Asian Journal of Medical Education","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126141474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
