Innovative Teaching Strategy

This article reports an innovative teaching strategy consisting of learning units whereby students come to postconference sessions prepared to share evidence-based practice (EBP) information associated with upcoming laboratory concepts, discover relationships among laboratory concepts and current nursing practice, and associate personal clinical experiences with the practice environment. This strategy, named “Building Blocks,” represents one method to transform nursing education into a more active process, and also has the potential to prepare graduates who can function in a dynamic health care environment incorporating EBP.

Constructivist and adult learning theory provided the theoretical framework for reusable learning units (RLUs) developed for a Southeastern University's family nurse-practitioner and nurse-midwifery distance educational programs. Reusable learning units are an organized series of learning events that satisfy one or more interrelated learning objectives that cannot be broken down to component parts without losing semantic and pragmatic meaning. This paper describes the conceptual framework, background and history of RLUs, and collaborative efforts for development and implementation.

Innovative Teaching Strategy

This phenomenological study examines the process of increasing the critical thinking proficiency of academically underprepared millennial BSW students using the Paideia Socratic Seminar (PSS). This study explores both students’ dispositions toward engaging in critical thinking and what occurs when they do not fully comprehend or read course materials. Additionally, it explores how students manage the pressures of coursework and the conflict management methods they use. PSS is an innovative teaching strategy for increasing students’ critical thinking based on Socratic questioning. The setting is the author’s “Seminar in Helping” course, which is the first of five practice courses for BSW students. This course introduces the generalist intervention model of engagement, assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, termination, and follow-up, and focuses on intellectual and social learning that increases critical thinking competency. Blackboard instructional methods supported basic knowledge instruction, and classroom discussions focused on higher-level cognitive learning.
