B Objectives: 1. What is the main purpose for this course? The main purpose is to enable the student to provide care for ill children from the time of admission to the time of discharge, to have the skills of child health care and to demonstrate proper communication skills with peers, consultants and parents. 2. Briefly describe any plans for developing and improving the course that are being implemented. (e.g. increased use of IT or web based reference material, changes in content as a result of new research in the field) 1) The clinical practice will be in 3 hospitals (Sabia G.H., Abu Arish G.H. and King Fahd CH). This will be whole day sessions for males and females alternatively (2-3 days/week each) for 3weeks starting from the second week. 2) There are six skill lab sessions for reinforcing history taking, discussion, communication skills and to conduct some selected emergency pediatric procedures (for both males and females). 3) Website (pedsjazan.wordpress.com): This website has been created by the department of Pediatric. We upload the site with the reports and clinical messages and also with the timetables, course specification and any instruction to the students. 4) This time, most of the lectures in the first week, so students will go to hospitals to see cases and discuss the clinical scenarios in skill labs after knowing the theory.

Course Learning Outcomes in NQF Domains of Learning and Alignment with Assessment Methods and Teaching Strategy Course Learning Outcomes, Assessment Methods, and Teaching Strategy work together and are aligned. They are joined together as one, coherent, unity that collectively articulate a consistent agreement between student learning, assessment, and teaching. The National Qualification Framework provides five learning domains. Course learning outcomes are required. Normally a course has should not exceed eight learning outcomes which align with one or more of the five learning domains. Some courses have one or more program learning outcomes integrated into the course learning outcomes to demonstrate program learning outcome alignment. The program learning outcome matrix map identifies which program learning outcomes are incorporated into specific courses. On the table below are the five NQF Learning Domains, numbered in the left column. First, insert the suitable and measurable course learning outcomes required in the appropriate learning domains (see suggestions below the table). Second, insert supporting teaching strategies that fit and align with the assessment methods and intended learning outcomes. Third, insert appropriate assessment methods that accurately measure and evaluate the learning outcome. Each course learning outcomes, assessment method, and teaching strategy ought to reasonably fit and flow together as an integrated learning and teaching process. Fourth, if any program learning outcomes are included in the course learning outcomes, place the @ symbol next to it. Every course is not required to include learning outcomes from each domain.

Suggested verbs not to use when writing measurable and assessable learning outcomes are as follows: Consider Maximize Continue Review Ensure Enlarge Understand Maintain Reflect Examine Strengthen Explore Encourage Deepen Some of these verbs can be used if tied to specific actions or quantification. Suggested assessment methods and teaching strategies are: According to research and best practices, multiple and continuous assessment methods are required to verify student learning. Current trends incorporate a wide range of rubric assessment tools; including web-based student performance systems that apply rubrics, benchmarks, KPIs, and analysis. Rubrics are especially helpful for qualitative evaluation. Differentiated assessment strategies include: exams, portfolios, long and short essays, log books, analytical reports, individual and group presentations, posters, journals, case studies, lab manuals, video analysis, group reports, lab reports, debates, speeches, learning logs, peer evaluations, self-evaluations, videos, graphs, dramatic performances, tables, demonstrations, graphic organizers, discussion forums, interviews, learning contracts, antidotal notes, artwork, KWL charts, and concept mapping. Differentiated teaching strategies should be selected to align with the curriculum taught, the needs of students, and the intended learning outcomes. Teaching methods include: lecture, debate, small group work, whole group and small group discussion, research activities, lab demonstrations, projects, debates, role playing, case studies, guest speakers, memorization, humor, individual presentation, brainstorming, and a wide variety of hands-on student learning activities. 5.
