Applying educational theory to medical education research

Melvin, Anna; Patel, Rakesh S.

Abstract

Applying educational theory to medical education research is no different to the way theory drives research and practice in other domains. However, the practical application of theory to research in medical education can often be challenging for many different reasons. This article seeks to help researchers by exploring some important questions about educational theory, including what theory is, why it is important, and how it can be used in medical education research.
