| 1. Title: Selected principles of teaching and learning applied to nurse-midwifery clinical education. Author: Thompson JB Source: Journal of Nurse-Midwifery. 1982 Jan-Feb;28(1):21-9. Abstract: The types of teaching and learning are discussed and applied to nurse-midwifery. The 3 types of knowledge to be learned and taught are psychomotor (physical), affective (social), and cognitive (logico-math). It is important to identify what type of knowledge needs to be taught, as teaching methods differ depending on learning goals for the student. The author reviews extensively the principles of teaching and learning used by the clinical educator in nurse-midwifery. The 3 major phases are acquisition of knowledge, transfer of knowledge, and internalization of learning. Clinical teaching is a vital component of any practice discipline and comprises almost 2/3 of the teaching time for any nurse-midwife educator. Yet, clinical educators (academic or preceptor) often have had little or no preparation for their important role in preparing the nurse-midwives of the future. It has often been assumed that good clinicians make good teachers, but this assumption has left both teachers and students frustrated, or worse, afraid to pursue any further teaching or learning. The article is a synthesis of ideas and practical experience related to teaching and learning in the clinical setting, specifically based on the knowledge of how adults learn, what constitutes knowledge, and how learning principles can guide the clinical teacher in her or his teaching efforts. The author concludes that the best teaching is based on how people learn and blends the talents and skills of the teacher with an understanding of the nature of human beings, the functioning of the human mind, and the nature of human development and learning.
