Information Literacy, Evidence-based Learning, Medical Education, S-O-R ModelAbstract
The research broadens the scope of the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model from environmental psychology to the realm of medical education. It reinterprets elements of evidence-based instructional design, such as authenticity of problems, structural frameworks, and collaborative areas, as environmental triggers for information-seeking actions (organism), thereby enhancing information literacy skills (response). This theoretical shift from tangible to educational settings uncovers the vital role of information-seeking in connecting environmental design with competency results. The model offers theoretical underpinnings for studying environment-behavior in medical training and actionable advice for designing evidence-based learning class.
