FDP grant AMEE(Association for Medical Education in Europe) is the largest Medical Education Association in the world, it provides grants for various projects aligned with quality education. We secured the Faculty Development Grant along with Universitas Indonesia in 2022, focusing on exploring how social media impacts faculty development and the professional development of medical teachers in the global south region.
FacDev model:We collaborated with researchers from multiple universites across the globe included Gulf Medical University , Ain As Shams Medical University,Kuwait University for the development and validation of a new circular model of faculty development.
Global counterspace program :
We were selected to be part of the Global Counterspace Program, an initiative of the well known journal “Teaching and Learning In Medicine” (IF=2.701, Taylor and Francis Publications) The program is a collaboration between 15 medical educationists from different universities in the world highlighting the disparity in academic writing particularly in medical education from authors from the global south.
Universitas Indonesia Collaboration :
We collaborated on a research project with the Universitas Indonesia focusing on optimizing social media use for student learning and faculty development
Description:
1. AMEE Faculty development grant :
The social media use for professional development can be seen as one of the strategies and contexts for Faculty development(FD). Social media enables the development of professional learning networks (PLNs) and online community of practice (CoP) which are very useful for supporting professional learning. While formal approaches of FD have been widely reported, informal approaches which include reflection, learning by doing and learning by observing others, workplace-based learning and community of practice, are probably less discussed. Studies on the use of social media for professional development depict the social media lens more strongly and there has been less emphasis on the experience of the medical teachers in using and navigating the use of social media for their professional development. Given the importance of teachers’ participation and engagement and not all teachers are expert users of social media, exploring their individual experience will be important in order to support more personalized and wider use of the social media for professional development. In addition, a lot of reports on the social media use for professional development among medical teachers tend to come from the Global North with less number of studies representing the Global South. Our collaborative grant aims to explore the experience of medical teachers from the Global South in using and navigating social media for their professional development using Professional Learning Network (PLN) and Community of Practice (CoP) concepts. We believe this may be a sustainable way of imparting quality education to health care professionals as it has no carbon footprint, can be used globally and requires minimal expenditure with added benefits of social media networking and accesibilty of data.
2. FacDev Model :
We took the initiative to build a quality faculty development model which would be sustainable and easily executable at most medical schools. Generally, faculty development is considered a linear process that finishes after a series of seminars, workshops etc. However to ensure quality, it is imperative that faculty development take place throughout the academic year so faculty can improve, revise and refurnish their skills. Hence, we collaborated with multiple institutions across the globe to formulate and validate the 5X2 D faculty development model. Our work was published in the prominent journal BMC Medical Education (IF=3.236) and evidence may be found here : https://bmcmededuc.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12909-022-03208-x
3. Global Counterspace Initiative:
The University of Faisalabad is a member and active collaborator of the global counterspace program , our department of medical education is taking the lead in writing and developing their frameworks and publication which will be out later this year. An initiative spearheaded by the esteemed journal "Teaching and Learning In Medicine," this program is of paramount importance in the context of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education). The program's focus on the disparity in academic writing, especially in the field of medical education, is directly relevant to SDG 4's objective of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all. By shedding light on the challenges faced by authors from the global south, the program not only highlights existing inequalities but also works towards rectifying them. Access to quality education is not just about ensuring enrollment but also about fostering an environment where knowledge production and dissemination are inclusive. The Global Counterspace Program's efforts to bridge this academic divide align with SDG 4's vision of providing accessible, quality education that empowers individuals regardless of their geographic or socio-economic backgrounds. Furthermore, this initiative carries global significance by promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange among experts from various regions. In the field of medical education, where evidence-based practices are critical, ensuring that a diverse range of voices is heard in academic literature is essential for the advancement of the field and the health of global populations. The Global Counterspace Program's emphasis on addressing disparities in academic writing serves as a vital step in achieving the broader goals of SDG 4, as it helps create a more equitable and inclusive educational landscape, where contributions from all corners of the world can shape and enhance the quality of education and research. In essence, the program not only highlights the problem but actively works towards rectifying it, contributing significantly to the global effort to provide quality education for all and fostering a more equitable and inclusive academic community.
4. Universitas Indonesia Collaboration:
We completed an onground collaborative research project with Universitas Indonesia on using social media for faculty development and also to promote student self regulation. The project was completed in February 2022 and our research articles have been submitted for publication. By enhancing the utilization of social media platforms for educational purposes, this initiative contributes to fostering inclusive and equitable quality education. It enables broader access to educational resources, facilitates knowledge exchange, and empowers both students and faculty, bridging educational gaps and advancing the goal of providing quality education for all.
