NU625: Teaching Effectively
Semester 1 | Credits: 10
This module has been developed by the education team at the School of Nursing and Midwifery at University of Galway. This is an interactive module. It aims to provide a theoretical and practical exposure at helping the learner to begin teaching. When we talk about teaching, this applies to teaching learners, patients/clients or their families. Topics to be explored include: theories of learning, writing a personal teaching philosophy, planning a teaching session and writing up a lesson plan, writing learning outcomes and learning about various teaching strategies.
The module is organised as a series of stand-along workshops, including online resources, demonstrations, microteaching, practical sessions, discussion, and reflection. In particular, this module will use this knowledge to help learners to construct meaning and achieve the intended learning outcomes.
(Language of instruction: English)
