HLT521 Teaching and Learning in Clinical Education (8)

This subject applies the principle of transformative learning to explore the practice of teaching others in a clinical setting. Students will learn about current educational theories and practices that educators use to facilitate learning with clinicians. The subject will include the development of planned learning experiences and the delivery of unplanned, opportunistic learning experiences. Students will consider the value of engaging with other educators to explore alternate viewpoints and reflect on personal teaching experiences as part of the peer learning process. Finally, students will plan, implement and evaluate an education session in the clinical environment.
