Abstract
Research is an important part of educational scholarship. Knowledge of research methodologies is essential for both conducting research as well as determining the soundness of the findings from published studies. Our goals for this paper therefore are to inform medical education researchers of the range and key components of educational research designs. We will discuss both qualitative and quantitative approaches to educational research. Qualitative methods will be presented according to traditions that have a distinguished history in particular disciplines. Quantitative methods will be presented according to an evidence-based hierarchy akin to that of evidence-based medicine with the stronger designs (systematic reviews and well conducted educational randomized controlled trials) at the top, and weaker designs (descriptive studies without comparison groups, or single case studies) at the bottom. It should be appreciated, however, that the research question determines the study design. Therefore, the onus is on the researcher to choose a design that is appropriate to answering the question. We conclude with an overview of how educational researchers should describe the study design and methods in order to provide transparency and clarity.

Acknowledgement

The authors (T.L.T. and J.H.C.) wish to acknowledge Will Weber, EdD (1938-2007) who not only taught us the importance of research methodology but also inspired us to be systematic and disciplined in our approach to educational research.

Declaration of interest: The authors report no conflicts of interest. The authors alone are responsible for the content and writing of the paper.

The hidden curriculum is a pervasive and oftentimes vital part of learning at all levels of medical education. How do we as teachers intentionally impart this knowledge on our learners? Our group talked about turning implicit knowledge into explicit knowledge by verbalizing our own thought processes around a topic to our learners in real-time.

At programs who use noon conference or morning report model, trainees are expected to attend the teaching sessions unless there is a patient emergency. However, it is difficult to ignore pleas for pain medications or a diet order for patients who had a procedure cancelled and who have been fasting since midnight the night before. These are not 'emergencies' but I think most of us would struggle with the idea of leaving anyone in pain for an hour. When I have previously worked in hospitals with this model, I have rarely attended a lecture which did not necessitate me leaving early, arriving late or answering a call during the session.

The struggle to find mental space for learning has only become more difficult during the pandemic as services have become busier. A number of teaching sessions are now over zoom which can make paying attention more difficult when joining from a busy documentation or work room. I personally find myself constantly weighing up the pros and cons of attending educational activities when it occurs during the work day. I have found myself in noon conference spending the entirety of the time thinking about work left to do and leaving feeling like I did not benefit from attending. There is a constant internal conflict balancing wanting to learn with wanting to get home at a reasonable hour. The competitiveness for fellowship has increased in recent years with an ever mounting pressure on residents to produce enough research and scholarly output for applications. Evenings are precious, often spent working on research or doing extracurricular activities for those applications, while balancing other commitments and ensuring you have time for the things that help maintain wellness. The reality is, the longer you stay in the hospital, the more problems arise and the later you end up leaving. I sometimes worry if I take an hour out of the working day to attend noon conference, where I cannot do work, this could lead to a much later finish.

One potential solution is introducing true protected time for teaching. Last year our residency program introduced academic half days (AHD). AHD have become popular across the United States with several residency programs adopting this new approach over the noon conference model. In our residency program, one afternoon a week trainees sign out of EMR instant messaging, forward pagers, and log out of clinical duties for the day, with different afternoons for interns and residents. Studies to date have shown that AHD is popular among residents. One study found that implementation of the AHD lead to a significant increase in average time spent in the core conference series per week. It additionally led to an improvement of resident satisfaction in a number of areas: core curriculum, perceived value of the core conference series, understanding of medical literature and promotion of reading outside of work. In one study comparing AHD curriculum with noon conference curriculum, the AHD curriculum was associated with higher internal medicine in training exam scores, and residents in the AHD curriculum had greater learning satisfaction compared with the noon conference cohort. AHD implementation can only be done with support of attending faculty. Attendings are required to rethink how they conduct rounds and provide increased support to the smaller team in the afternoons. One study found that attending physicians experienced significant emotional strain, faced technological challenges, and were concerned about impeded workflow and patient safety when residents departed clinical sites for AHD. It is important that attending physicians are given the training and support they need to adapt to this change. This support could include advice on changes to rounds which maximize work done before 1pm, advanced discharge planning, or EMR or technological training if they feel this creates barriers for them when housestaff are not present.

Medicine is constantly changing in response to the changing world around us. The changes made in the last year and half alone have been staggering. There is an active push towards trying to prioritize wellbeing of residents without compromising education or patient care. Creating a dedicated protected mental space and time for learning goes a long way in this regard.

Have you utilized the academic half day model in your training program? Comment below and join the conversation!

When my children grew up and left our home, I discovered I had no hobbies. Thankfully, over time, I have discovered a passion for raising tropical fish. Unfortunately, I worry about them like I worry about my pediatric patients (I have seven different fish antibiotics I use to treat the sick ones). By the way, you are all sworn to secrecy, especially those of you from Children's. I have not shared my hobby with many people. Reena (the best networker I know) now knows, so I guess the "cat is out of the bag" and soon every medical educator in 50 countries will know. Looking forward to meeting and working with all of you.

This is a photo (me in the middle) of running in the Bo Kaap area of Cape Town! A most joyful reminder of my time living in a place where my sense of purpose and skills were most at peace.

Growing up in California, I spent a lot of time sitting on the beach at sunset. It gives me tremendous joy and relaxation; I always try to find my beach (don't sue me Corona Extra!). I took this picture on my honeymoon in Bora Bora

This is something in my home that always brings me joy! Jäger is my Great Pyrenees rescue who loves to be in the background of Zoom meetings. He loves a good nap and walk in the park.
