Abstract:
Development of misconceptions by health care students and providers can be deadly to patients during health care planning and delivery. However, ongoing research of methodologies for knowledge management and knowledge discovery has provided ways to study and then remediate misconceptions. Effective use of data warehousing coupled to automated data mining has been successfully integrated to around complex learning objects. Such integrations allow for monitoring and analysis of students’ and practicing healthcare providers’ processes of learning and decision making. In this paper, we describe how such coupling enables new types of methodologies which can lead to a better understanding of misconception development.
