Should medical teachers spend more time modelling or coaching students? A dual eye‐tracking and randomised controlled study on peer instruction in sonography
This study provides empirical evidence that EC may be particularly effective when introducing new procedural medical skills. In learning complex procedures, direct sensorimotor experience with guided support appears more advantageous than extended observation. These findings suggest that medical educators should give students more opportunities for supervised hands-on practice rather than relying primarily on demonstration-based teaching.
