These teaching
strategies are:
- Brainstorming: Encourage
the creative generation of ideas among learners.
- Buzz Group: Foster communication
and efficient sharing of information among learners.
- Case Discussion: Elicit critical
analysis and interpretation using clinically-based
cases.
- Mini-Presentation: Develop
strategies for meaningful presentation of information
in 5 minutes or less.
- Reflective Exercise: Explore
learners’ ideas to enhance continuous performance,
self-observation, and knowledge.
- Role Play: Promote new behaviors
in learners through observation and modeling.
Self-directed learning is central to the design
of Pediatrics in Practice. Each teaching strategy
has been developed into an on-line module. Easy-to-use
interactive techniques are integrated into each
teaching strategy to foster fast and efficient
learning. Active learning features, such as journaling
and action plan development, are included to enhance
the translation of new knowledge and discovery
to greater practice performance in your setting.
When these techniques are appropriately utilized,
we believe child health educators are better positioned
to shape future health professionals’ understanding
of health promotion, and in turn, the health and
well-being of children and families. We encourage
you to use these components as you complete the
interactive lessons.
Curriculum materials are available in the PDF
library as a free download. The book and DVD,
Pediatrics in Practice: A Health Promotion
Curriculum for Child Health Professionals
may be purchased from
Springer Publishing. |
