Table 5.

Percentage prevalence of learner responses that aligned with thematic behaviors

Thematic behaviors present in wiki small groups between 2014 and 2018 Mean Prevalence (+/− SD)
Learners acquired a conceptual framework for approaching pharmacology as a discipline 100% (+/−  0%)
Faculty provided external guidance that prompted further learning progress 79.5% (+/−  15.0%)
Learners reframed molecular or cellular information to a patient context 69.9% (+/−  17.3%)
Learners established a routine practice of self-directed assessment seeking 68.5% (+/−  14.0%)
Learners asked self-generated questions of one another 63.0% (+/−  17.5%)
Learners identified peer misperceptions or errors and provided gentle correction and guidance 57.5% (+/−  7.0%)
Learners accessed the literature base to provide evidence-based answers 54.8% (+/−  18.3%)
Learners applied their learning at weekly primary care clinical sites (MeSH) 24.6% (+/−  19.2%)

Mean percentage prevalence (+/− standard deviation) of learner responses, that aligned with the thematic behaviors discerned during qualitative analysis, in the 73 wiki small groups that interacted with formative wiki assignments 1–15 and the final, summative wiki assignment between 2014 and 2018
