Teaching and Learning Approach
The course is designed to introduce participants to the profession of nursing and the philosophical foundations
and foundational concepts of the nursing program. Teaching and learning approaches are designed to engage
the participants actively in experiencing many of the values and beliefs in the program philosophy.
The participants use resources and engage actively in dialogue (written and oral), individually and in small and
large groups. Pre-readings and learning activities are assigned each week. These provide the foundation for the
class. Therefore, all students need to complete these to enable meaningful and active participation in the class.
The premise here is that learning among students is co-created and enriched through the sharing of reflections
and learning experiences with one another.
Other methods of learning may include guest speakers, role-playing, debates, simulation, & problem-based
scenarios as a few examples.Learning Resources
