The Pedagogical Challenges of Teaching Psychiatry Residents during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Applications for Future Educational Activities

Pandemija koronavirusne bolesti 2019. (COVID-19) u značajnom je obimu onemogućila provođenje uobičajenih edukacijskih aktivnosti što je, izmedu ostalog, rezultiralo i primjenom novih modela učenja. Međutim, promjene koje su uslijedile često su implementirane bez detaljne prethodne analize i temeljitog, sustavnog planiranja njihovog provođenja. Ovaj kratki pregled literature ima za cilj identificirati neke od glavnih pedagoških izazova u edukaciji specijalizanata psihijatrije tijekom aktualne pandemije. Rezultati ovog preglednog članka mogu pomoći pri razvoju dodatnih pedagoških tehnika i inovativnih alata za korištenje u budućim obrazovnim aktivnostima te pridonijeti planiranju organizacije specijalističkog obrazovanja iz psihijatrije.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has challenged and almost completely disrupted the previous teaching system, based mainly on teachers’ and learners’ physical presence. This impact has forced educators to identify alternative learning models and begin utilizing new approaches, often without detailed analysis or thorough, systematic planning. The current literature review aims to reveal some of the greatest pedagogical challenges in remotely teaching psychiatry residents during the pandemic. This mini-review’s results may help in developing additional pedagogical techniques and key applications for educational activities to teach psychiatry residents, as well as to suggest directions for future psychiatry resident education.
