The Mediating Effect of Personality Traits on the Competence and Teaching Efficacy of Medical Simulation Training Instructors
Objective:This study aims to explore the mediating effect of personality traits on the competence and teaching efficacy of medical simulation training instructors.Methods:A total of 252 clinical teachers participating in medical simulation training in a certain province from September to October 2020 were selected as research subjects.The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator,teacher competence questionnaire,and teaching efficacy questionnaire were used for data collection.Structural equation modeling was employed to test the correlationsand mediating effects among variables.Results:Personality traits were positively correlated with competence and teaching efficacy(P<0.01).Personality traits partially mediated the relationship between teacher competence and teaching efficacy,accounting for 39.17%of the total effect.Conclusion:Personality traits indirectly influence teaching practices,suggesting that consideration of personality traits in the recruitment process of simulation training instructors is advisable for better position matching.
