The learning philosophies discussed are very apt for the present medical educational set-up in that the focus of education should be change in society and in the individual. As being emphasized by Reconstructionism, social justice and equity and not just the palliation of physical illness should be the goal. The development of critical thinking as means to improve the system is also espoused.
It’s also notable that the philosophies are all student-centered and that the teacher serves as a facilitator and sometimes an impetus but the learning is more of an active process. The inter-disciplinary and collaborative approach also is very applicable in the health care set-up.
