Brief Summary

The academic training of French postgraduate students in general practice (E3CMG) is facing a challenge due to the increasing gap between the number of students and the available teaching hours. To accommodate the growing number of students, asynchronous acquisition of knowledge prior to a reduced face-to-face teaching would maintain the capacity to provide socio-constructivist teaching useful for developing problem-solving skills (i.e. thesis design and feasibility assessment). The main objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of hybrid versus face-to-face socio-constructivist teaching on French E3CMG course assessment and evaluation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Self-assessment score for learning outcomes

  Sum of self-assessment score for knowledge (10 points) and self-assessment score for skills (10 points). Maximum value = 20, Minimum Value = 0. Higher score means a better outcome.

  At the end of the teaching day

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Overall satisfaction score

  At the end of the teaching day

• Self-assessment score for knowledge (10 points)

  At the end of the teaching day

• Self-assessment score for skills (competencies) (10 points)

  At the end of the teaching day

• Satisfaction score 1

  At the end of the teaching day

• Satisfaction score 2

  At the end of the teaching day

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Hybrid course : asynchronous online interactive course (2h30, 45%) followed by face-to-face socio constructivist teaching (3h00, 55%)

Other: Hybrid course on medical thesis for post graduates general practice students

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Face-to-face socio constructivist teaching (100%) (5h30)

Other: Face-to-face teaching on medical thesis for post graduates general practice students

Interventions

Hybrid course on medical thesis for post graduates general practice students OTHER

Students randomised to the intervention group will log on to interactive online teaching for a maximum time of 2.5 hours, and then follow face-to-face socio-constructivist teaching in small groups (n=22 max), building on the knowledge they have acquired. The aim of this peer-to-peer face-to-face teaching is to develop problem-solving skills.

Intervention

Face-to-face teaching on medical thesis for post graduates general practice students OTHER

Students randomised to the control group will be taught entirely face-to-face in small groups (n=22 max). The course duration and teaching objectives are identical to those of the intervention group. Student consent and randomization will be carried out on the morning of the course to avoid contamination and attrition bias.
