Teaching is best done in the lecture theatre / teaching is best done on the job

Why don’t we just sit you down in rows and teach you all the facts you need to know?

Thoughts……

JS

And because…..‘Education is about

lighting fires, not filling buckets’(WB Yeats)

Task-5minsIn twos or threes think of one positive & one

negative teaching experience you may have had as a health professional or student

Choose one of these experiences to summarise and present to the group

Try to include some comments on the role of the teacher in making this effective or ineffective

2 principles we useConstructivism

Construction

Building on your existing knowledge, skills and experience

Context

Relate to the real world

Collaboration

Working with other people Exploring different perspectives Understanding that ‘knowledge’ varies with context

and with culture

psb

• Learning what’s important to you

• Learning things which are useful for the real world

• Learner, not teacher, is responsible

• Learning is self directed

• Learning is continuous and adapts to new situations – spiral, not linear

Adult learning

Discuss:

Apart from facts, what do you need to learn in your training over the next 3 years?

•Record any learning needs which arise•Review learning outcomes •Summarise and conclude session (plenary)

Crib sheet on feedback on teaching sessions. Opening – was it effective, was there contact with the audience and were objectives given? Main points – were these clearly expressed and were explanations given clear? Were slides well set out (no more than 5 points) and was there good use of appropriate illustrations? Ending – were the main points re-stated clearly? Was the presentation correctly timed and questions allowed for? Was the content relevant and were questions from the audience appropriate? Was there good interaction with the audience – eye contact, appropriate NVCs Was the speaker audible and clear and tone interesting Were anecdotes or humour used and were technical terms kept to a minimum?
