Summary
Determining teaching objectives is the first step in the teaching process. The Delphi method was chosen for that purpose. All the family medicine teachers in the four Israeli medical schools were selected to participate in the process. In the first round each of them was asked to propose 5 teaching objectives. The proposed objectives were characterized by key words, and then listed according to the number of times they were proposed by the participants. The 51 objectives that were formulated in this way were sent to the participants as second round for ranking according to their importance. The response rate in the first round was 61 % and 78.5% in the second. The result of the process is a recommendation for teaching objectives, listed in order of importance, for discussion and future implementation. We present and discuss the process and two illustrative objectives.
