This supports previous research that instructors and departments modify SCALE-UP, both pedagogically and structurally (Henderson and Dancy [2008]; Penberthy and Millar [2002]; Sharp and McLaughlin [1997]; Silverthorn et al. [2006]; Hutchinson and Huberman [1994]).
If, for some reason, the students fail to enact the feedback they have received at the previous stage, the instructor may give them implicit and, if necessary, explicit revision prompts and models a possible solution to the problem posed by the task.
The adjusted instructional plan and the supplementary material can improve learning achievements since the first checkpoint of group B. Based on the information of the previous class and instructor's experiences, the additional materials can improve the achievements of group B immediately.
Furthermore, the training is well developed through previous experience of the instructors.
Course brochures were also sent to prospective and previous participants and course instructors for distribution.
Additionally, only one male and one female clinical teacher among the above 17 clinical instructors had previous experience as a PGY1 mentor and clinical instructor (2/17, 12%).
