Content
This unit is designed to prepare registered nurses and midwives to teach and facilitate learning of students and colleagues in contemporary clinical and/or simulated settings.
Themes in this unit include relevant learning theories (experiential/situated), the facilitator role in creating a conducive learning environment, planning student learning experiences, evaluating professional performance, and guiding the application of theory to practice. In addition, the facilitator’s role will be explored in relation to providing feedback and reflection as ways of improving teaching practice. Opportunities for reflection on the role of the nurse/midwife as a facilitator of clinical learning will also be included.
