What Can We Learn from Coaching to Apply to Teaching?
Get PDFPhysicians are tasked with the efficient delivery of high-quality care for patients while being able to learn from advances in medicine to address the ever-arising challenges in care delivery. Coaching in medicine may help learners for performance & development through self-awareness that enables self-directed lifelong learning. Self-directed learning requires metacognitive skills, in other words “thinking about thinking.” Traditional medical education rarely provides opportunities for introspection. Limited information is available regarding training medical faculty to coach. We explored the experience and perception of coaching after a training program. Data from three sources was analyzed in a mixed methods thematic analysis. Building relationship and encouraging reflection emerged as key aspects in coaching conversations. Faculty participants expressed immediate use of coaching skills in their interactions with learners. We will explore distinctions between coaching, mentoring, and advising through audience participation in a live demonstration of coaching, and use of Pear Deck and flip chart.https://jagworks.southalabama.edu/cotl2024-workshop/1000/thumbnail.jp

AI-Driven Sport Technique: Pole Vaulting with Proximal Policy Optimization
No full textIt is a tedious, injury-prone, and personal process for athletes to learn sports. In response, this thesis found a method to use proximal policy optimization (PPO) instead of athletes to create body techniques for sports. The method was applied to a customized Unity ML-Agent that learned to pole vault from scratch without information about how to perform the sport which demonstrated the possibilities of learning without human input, discovered a novel technique, and determined the requirements for developing sport technique with PPO. The reward system encouraged higher body position and clearing the crossbar, while penalizing failures such as hitting the bar or landing early. The agent trained in a competition-style environment, where the bar height increased after a successful attempt and reset to a starting height after three failed attempts. The training resulted in a consistent technique for clearing heights up to 6.30 meters and a maximum clearance of 6.76 meters with a new side swinging technique. Repetitive training at lower heights allowed the model to consistently adapt to higher heights as they were gradually introduced. This research demonstrates the potential of PPO to learn complex sports techniques, and it offers an approach to reward systems by controlling or withholding the level of difficulty at some points and adding repetition
