Mentors for student nurses and newly registered nurses will welcome the fourth edition of this trusted handbook on how to teach others: peers, students, patients and relatives. It is written in a user-friendly style, ‘talking through’ strategies with the reader. This is a practical ‘How to’ guide, rather than an academic treatise, with a much stronger focus on the use of competencies.
The contents have been totally revised into chapters on:
- How people learn
- How to teach
- How to use competencies in teaching
- How to support learners
- How to assess teaching & learning.
- Learning objectives begin each chapter
- Sets teaching within the context of nursing and education
- Aids the teaching of reflective practice
- Activities and exercises reinforce learning
- Cartoons illustrate significant points
