 I
personally use my own research as examples within the clinical context
that I am teaching because it demonstrates to students that what I am
researching is real and it is recent and up-to-date. There is nothing
more exciting than when a student comes up to me and tells me that they
have just read an article I have written and used it for an assignment!
Allison Shorten, lecturer in nursing and midwifery at UOW allison_shorten@uow.edu.au Allison wants a) To motivate students to understand the value of research
findings for clinical practice; Case 1: Students are given a relevant clinical case study while Allison is fully aware that the literature is available to resolve the case study. Students then set about compiling evidence to support specific recommendations for resolution of a particular problem. For example, first year students are given the problem - how much alcohol can women safely consume during pregnancy without resulting in damage to the foetus? Students quickly discover the current debate in the literature about this issue. They are required to come to their own conclusions using the evidence available and to make recommendations. Most decide that due to the ambiguity of evidence, it is reasonable to advise women not to consume any alcohol as there is no clear evidence of the amount that is safe. |
