Sažetak
Background: «The art of medical education» is the basic course for young and inexperienced medical teachers. The course was developed and delivered by the members of the Croatian Association for Medical Education. 220 teachers from the Me dical School, University of Zagreb finished the course. A comprehensive evaluation, including focus group discussion, was performed after ten years of experience. We would like to present here the results of qualitative evaluation related to the participants' learning experiences. Summary of work: Four topics have been discussed within the focus-groups: motivation for the course ; positive learning experience during the course ; impact on the everyday teaching and suggestions for the course improvement. Four focus groups, with 32 participants, were held. Discussions were audio-taped, transcribed and analysed using grounded theory. Summary of results: Nine themes emerged important as positive learning experience during the course: 1) possibilities to exchange experiences with teachers and colleagues ; 2) feedback of peers as a learning tool ; 3) self-reflection as a method of learning ; 4) learning as being learner ; 5) learning from the teachers as a role model ; 6) small-group as a learning tool ; 7) task based learning ; 8) handbook as a source for learning and 9) enthusiasm and positive atmosphere as a vehicle for learning. Conclusion: The participants highly appreciated the applied adult learning principles and methods.
