"People" and "Papers":
In this video we share insights about "people" and "papers" using a lens of relational humanism. "People" are five medical students and two educators. "Papers" are articles interpreted by the students as part of their major project as they learned about qualitative research to explore conversations about end-of-life care in the emergency department. Students engaged with articles, beginning with an innovative, collaborative "speed dating" style of sense-making, rather than the more traditional, independent close-up scrutiny. Implications for learning about collaborative qualitative research are shared.
We are a group of medical students from the University of Newcastle and University of New England, Australia, undertaking research as part of our degree, and guided by two educators experienced in qualitative research. Relatively new to qualitative and interpretive research ourselves, we have gained a rich pool of knowledge and understanding of relational humanism and the importance of collaborative learning. We hope to share our experience of learning and collaboration with you! amy.oosthuizen@uon.edu.au
