Just to say quickly, there is also realist work in similar areas that might be worth looking at, albeit not directly education. I’m thinking about Sonia Dalkin and colleagues work on CAB and my own study on a housing options service – I suppose the emphasis in these studies is on information/advice – not a million miles away from education. And as is often said, it is sometimes interesting to harvest mechanisms from similar areas! May be of interest in conceptualising programme theory etc…

Best wishes,

Andy

Hi Anna

I am currently working as a BEME fellow and I am particularly interested in e learning and CPD in the health area. Bearing in mind that context in education is a key factor, I found the realist approach to be very suitable for that endeavor. However, I have not been yet able to put together the while manuscript and am still working on refining my question. 

Best!

Hi Fede

What are you specifically wanting to look at within medical education?

Hi Anna et al 

A pleasure to read you as usual. Greetings from Argentina. I am also working on education field and tying to conduct a systematic rev on medical education. Would love to get in touch. 

Cheers

Hello Anna and everybody else:

We’re in the same situation (applying a realist lens to the analysis of educational interventions so we are very keen to hear about any pointers and papers. Are you familiar with any work undertaken at the primary/secondary school level?

Thanks.

Hi all
 
I am quite (very) new to realist methodology but have found this forum and links to presentations/papers etc very helpful.
 
As i begin my project i really just wanted opinion whether realist methodology is appropriate for what i want to research? 
 
My understanding of the methodology means I think it is appropriate given an educational intervention is subject to changes in context and multiple mechanisms may be at play and i want to evaluate how and why the interventions work (or don't), rather than just if they do (or not!). A lot of reading (Pawson) focuses on social policy rather than specifically educational interventions and so this has confused me somewhat.
 
I specifically want to look at educational interventions that can be used to develop clinical diagnostic decision making and reasoning in medical students but have started broader by looking at STEMM subjects and educational interventions that develop decision making and reasoning in general.
 
Any general advice welcome!
 
Many thanks in advance
 
Anna
