Abstract
Many teachers adopt instructional methods based on assumptions of best practices without
attention to or knowledge of supporting education theory. Familiarity with a variety of theories informs
education that is efficient, strategic, and evidence-based. As part of the Academic Life in Emergency
Medicine Faculty Incubator Program, a list of key education theories for junior faculty was developed.
A list of key papers on theories relevant to medical education was generated using an expert
panel, a virtual community of practice synthetic discussion, and a social media call for resources. A threeround,
Delphi-informed voting methodology including novice and expert educators produced a rank order of
the top papers.
These educators identified 34 unique papers. Eleven papers described the general use of
education theory, while 23 papers focused on a specific theory. The top three papers on general education
theories and top five papers on specific education theory were selected and summarized. The relevance of
each paper for junior faculty and faculty developers is also presented.
This paper presents a reading list of key papers for junior faculty in medical education roles.
Three papers about general education theories and five papers about specific educational theories are
identified and annotated. These papers may help provide foundational knowledge in education theory to
inform junior faculty teaching practice. [West J Emerg Med. 2017;18(2)293-302.]
