Summary: Clinical Teaching Strategies in Nursing
Review: Clinical Teaching Strategies in Nursing by Kathleen B. Gaberson and Marilyn H. Oermann
This book was developed to examine concepts of clinical teaching but is helpful for teaching in general. The first three chapters are about a philosophy and outcomes of clinical teaching and preparing for clinical learning activities. The next three chapters are about models and processes of clinical teaching and the ethical and legal issues in clinical teaching. The last nine chapters are about teaching strategies including learning assignments, self-directed learning activities, learning laboratories, simulations, games, case method, case study, grand rounds, conferences, discussions, written assignments, use of preceptors, and clinical teaching in diverse settings. Discussions of multimedia, computer-assisted instruction, critical thinking, journals, concept maps, portfolios, contracts, global and population based settings. The authors believe that there are essential and enriched curricula. This is a scholarly and practical book that is well written and well organized. Chapters have section headings, tables, bulleted content, summaries, and list of references. My students have indicated that this book was especially helpful to them.
