Stephen Billet & Linda Sweet, Multiple Dimensions of Teaching and Learning for Occupational Practice

This chapter examines medical students’ learning through their clinical experiences. Much of medical student learning is founded on the concept of relational interdependence; the relational nature of the interdependence between the social norms, forms, and practices that individuals are provided. Observation, questioning, engaging in activities, modeling, and parallel practice, amongst others, all contributed in different ways to how students learn, as well as the manners in which they direct and focus their actions.
