Teaching in Nursing: A Guide for Faculty - Hardcover

Unlike most texts of its kind, this 1998 AJN Book of the Year addresses three major components of nursing education: teaching, curriculum, and evaluation. It provides the comprehensive, contemporary guidelines instructors need to meet the day-to-day challenges of teaching and ensure that their teaching practices reflect the evolving healthcare environment. What's more, TEACHING IN NURSING offers essential coverage of teaching and learning at a distance, technology and media, guidance on curriculum development, an in-depth review of the theoretical foundations of teaching and learning, strategies to promote critical thinking and active learning, a chapter on dealing with diverse students and students with special needs, and a strong focus on clinical teaching.

This volume seeks to present contemporary guidelines to help instructors meet the day-to-day challenges of teaching. It features coverage of assessment and evaluation, with examples of programme evaluation plans, sample instruments, and information on classroom evaluation techniques, improving classroom teaching, and constructing exams. It also features curriculum development, with examples of philosophies, mission statements, and how to write competency statements. Clinical teaching is another topic, describing models of clinical teaching, teaching in interdisciplinary settings, how to evaluate students in the clinical setting, and how to adapt teaching for community-based practice.
