A skill to be worked at: using social learning theory to explore the process of learning from role models in clinical settings | BMC Medical Education | Full Text
Role modelling is widely accepted as being a highly influential teaching and learning method in medical education but little attention is given to understanding how students learn from role models. This study focuses on role modelling as an active, dynamic process, involving observational learning and aims to explore the process involved, including strategies that learners and medical teachers use to support this.
