Synopsis

If you want to introduce Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) into your curriculum but are not sure how to go about it, this book will set you on the right track. In this text the author shares the experience of leading a project to implement IBL as a whole integrated pre-registration curriculum and provides a blueprint for successful implementation.

The practicalities of implementing IBL can be a daunting prospect. Using a wealth of examples, relevant theories, models and research, this book takes the reader through the logistics of every stage of implementation. It provides the necessary theoretical and research perspectives and describes the detail how to manage the project stage by stage, covering planning, implementation, evaluation and change management. In addition, it looks at the operational practicalities and describes eight subprojects: staff development; communication systems; the classroom compass; practice experience; documentation; electronic' library and media resources, as well as reviewing the post implementation situation.

Whether you are new to or already familiar with Inquiry-Based Learning or simply need some practical guidelines, this book will provide an indispensable source of reference.

About this title

Review:

"This book reports the implementation of an inquiry-based undergraduate nursing curriculum in one British school of nursing. Charts and figures summarize the theoretical basis for this model as well as the process used....The purpose is to present a model of curriculum reform that is strongly grounded in pedagogical theory and research. Any curriculum change should have a strong evidence base. This book shows that connection between the evidence and the implementation process....Nursing and allied health faculty will find this book worthy of note.."
-Doody Reviews
"As a backdrop to the discussion of the curriculum implementation process, the author thoroughly presents the theoretical basis for inquiry-based learning. The roles of the faculty and the student are described. A model of meta learning shows the link between the teaching learning process and desired student outcomes. The description of the implementation process includes a presentation of the administrative and committee roles. Gantt charts show the step-by-step process used....For faculty looking to change their curriculum to one that is inquiry based, this book provides a very good overview of the change process used and the challenges encountered.."
