Abstract

Student-centered learning (SCL) has been a well-known principle of educating future health professionals globally. SCL was based on the ‘constructivism’ and ‘socio-theory of learning’ in which active participation and two-way dialogue of students and teachers are the keys for self-directed learning. In this chapter lays the conceptual foundations for using Hofstede's dimensions of culture model in exploration in the rest of the edited volume of the interplay between culture and health professions education. This first and overall chapters are focusing on work from Eastern settings with hierarchical and collectivistic cultures. The model and its derivation are explained and critiqued. Given the contextual focus of the book, the power distance and the individualism–collectivism dimensions of the model are unpacked in some detail and illuminated using examples from health professions education. Honoring calls for more evidence-based practice in health professions education and the contextual knowledge of local researchers and practitioners, widely adopted approaches like problem-based learning, models of communication skills, and feedback are critiqued using the model on the one hand and contextually relevant literature on the other
