Interactive Group Learning

The volumes in this popular series provide nurse educators with material to help them plan, conduct, and evaluate their instructional goals and accomplishments. The series addresses a broad spectrum of teaching situations, classroom settings, and clinical instruction-supervision.Two experienced nurse educators have created a handbook of strategies that instructors can implement now to create a dynamic group learning environment for today's student nurses. Every chapter shows how to implement innovative, cooperative group learning: the emphasis is on teaching applications that yield both critical thinking and comprehension in students. These are workshop-tested techniques that stand on a foundation of group learning theory. The authors show how to combine writing exercises, cooperative learning, reviews, and new testing formats into their Comprehensive Group Learning Model.
