Introduction
As nurses we are teachers;
teaching patients and families, nursing colleagues, and other health
professionals. The first section of the module presents information
about variables that influence teaching and learning--system variables,
teacher variables and learner variables. The interaction of these
variables (and their constituent elements) determines both the character and
the effectiveness of the teaching-learning interaction. This impact can be
planned or unplanned, depending on our level of understanding of each
component, and our willingness to consider each and make thoughtful choices
as we go about teaching and learning.
The second section of the module addresses planning for an effective
teaching-learning interaction.
Finally, Activities 3 & 4 ask you to apply concepts and principles
covered in the module.
