Table 9 Problem focused coping strategies
From: Qualitative study about the ways teachers react to feedback from resident evaluations
Reframing the problem: | My points of interest are about leadership and scientific reflection. But I miss a basis for teaching science and I also think that our ideas about the reflection sessions lack a fundamental perspective on science. (32221 BS 2 year’s experience average results) |
Increasing effort: | I really do want to change things. Being enthusiastic and being a role model are the things I want to improve. These evaluations are snapshots but I think these reports are important (32123 GP ≥ 11 year’s experience above average results) |
Need for discussion: | If I look at my results, I could only think “I’m doing well”, so that’s on a personal level. But this report also makes me think about “good teaching” and that is equally important. Something like: how can I be a role model as a behavioural scientist? I would really like to discuss this with my colleagues in the institute (2229 BS ≥ 11 year’s experience, above average results) |
