Publisher's Synopsis
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.
