Soliciting student feedback can be equally beneficial, and in fact,
a few concise questions can trigger useful discussions (Box 16.2).
Moreover, an appreciative review of student evaluations can provide
useful information, especially if teachers view these observations
and comments as opportunities for learning. In multiple ways,
engaging in dialogue with students and peers can help clinical teachers
to break down complex teaching activities into understandable
components, link intent, behaviour and educational outcomes,
facilitate the examination of personal assumptions and examine the
effectiveness of specific teaching practices (Steinert 2010b).
