NUR3003 - Education for clinical practice - 2017

Education is a key part of the work of health care professionals through provision of patient, peer and student teaching. Understanding teaching and learning theories and approaches is fundamental to delivering effective teaching. This unit aims to introduce students to teaching and learning for clinical practice. It will explore theory underpinning teaching and learning as well as provide opportunities for skills development in planning and delivering teaching.

1. discuss contexts where education is provided in clinical practice;
2. critique educational theory and its relationship to teaching and learning practices;
3. outline factors that impact on effective teaching and learning;
4. describe approaches for planning, evaluating and assessing teaching and learning;
5. evaluate the role of education in health promotion;
6. participate in a 3 hour IPL delirium workshop;
7. conduct effective basic peer teaching sessions; and
8. reflect upon their own perspectives on teaching and learning.
