Abstract
The concept of schema has been present in education for almost a century. In 1932, Fredrick Bartlett defined schema as “a structure that people use to organize current knowledge and provide a framework for future understanding.” (Bartlett, 1932) In medical education, schema building can be an important step in navigating huge amounts of particulate information. It is also a skill that our learners often lack. In this workshop, we will help participants understand what schema building can look like in medical education, and we’ll share concrete active learning activities that they can use with their learners to help them explore the concept of schema building.
