INTRODUCTION:Social theories of learning consider learning and thinking as social activities. These activities may occur within a community of practice. Communities of practice may position learners as legitimate peripheral participants. This study tests whether legitimate peripheral participation provides an overarching theory to assist in evaluating learning and teaching of medical students undertaking short primary care attachments. METHODS:A questionnaire was delivered to all Year 4 students at the University of Auckland in 2015. A deductive content analysis was undertaken on the data utilising a categorisation matrix. Legitimate peripheral participation theory was used to develop the categorisation matrix. RESULTS:Three broad themes explained legitimate peripheral participation by medical students undertaking a short primary care attachment. These three themes were 'hospitality,' 'collegiality' and 'responsibility.' CONCLUSION:Legitimate peripheral participation, in the context of undergraduate primary health care attachments, appears to depend upon positive social activities between students and health professionals and patients. Using legitimate peripheral participation as a theory to underpin evaluations of general practice attachments it is possible to determine improvements in the learning and teaching experience of medical students. |
