Many of today's learning environments are dominated by technology
or procedure-driven approaches that leave learners feeling alone
and disconnected. The authors of Centring Human Connections in the
Education of Health Professionals argue that educational processes
in the health disciplines should model, integrate, and celebrate
human connections because it is these connections that will foster
the development of competent and caring health professionals.
Centring Human Connections in the Education of Health Professionals
equips educators working in clinical, classroom, and online
settings with a variety of teaching strategies that facilitate
essential human connections. Included is an overview of the
educational theory that grounds the authors' thinking, enabling the
educators who employ the strategies included in the book to assess
their fit within curriculum requirements and personal teaching
philosophies and understand how and why they work.
Creative Clinical Teaching in the Health Professions is an
indispensable guide for educators in the health professions.
Interspersed with creative strategies and notes from the field by
clinical teachers who offer practical suggestions, this volume
equips healthcare educators with sound pedagogical theory. The
authors focus on the importance of personal philosophies,
resilience, and professional socialization while evaluating the
current practices in clinical learning environments from technology
to assessment and evaluation. This book provides instructors with
the tools to influence both student success and the quality of care
provided by future practitioners.
"Teaching Health Professionals Online: Frameworks and
Strategies" is a must-read for professionals in the health
care
field who strive to deliver excellence in their online
classes.
Intended for a wide range of professionals, including nurses,
social
workers, occupational and radiation therapists, chiropractors,
dietitians, and dental hygienists, this compendium of
teaching
strategies will inspire both new and experienced instructors in
the
health professions. In addition to outlining creative,
challenging
activities with step-by-step directions and explanations of why
they
work, each chapter in the text situates practice within the context
of
contemporary educational theories such as instructional immediacy,
invitational theory, constructivism, connectivism,
transformative
learning, and quantum learning theory. Melrose, Park, and Perry
also
address other issues familiar to those who have taught online
courses.
How can a distance instructor build teacher-student relationships?
How
does one transform the assumptions often held by students in the
health
fields from the confines of the virtual classroom? Most
importantly,
how can the instructor support his or her students in their
future
pursuits of knowledge and their development as competent
professionals?
By considering these and other concerns, this handbook aims to
help
instructors increase student success and satisfaction, which,
the
authors hope, will ultimately produce the best possible patient
care.
