Evidence-Based Education in the Classroom

About this book

Evidence-Based Education in the Classroom: Examples From Clinical Disciplines shows educators how to use evidence to inform teaching practices and improve educational outcomes for students in clinically based fields of study. Editors and speech-language pathologists Drs. Jennifer C. Friberg Colleen F. Visconti and Sarah M. Ginsberg collaborated with a team of more than 65 expert contributors to share examples of how they have used evidence to inform their course design and delivery. Each chapter is set up as a case study that includes: A description of the teaching/learning context focused on in the chapter A brief review of original data or extant literature being applied A description of how evidence was applied in the teaching/learning context Additional ideas for how evidence could be applied in other teaching/learning contexts across clinical disciplines Additional resources related to the pedagogy described in the case study (e.g. journal articles books blogs websites) Educators in the fields of speech-language pathology audiology nursing social work sports medicine medicine dietetics dental assisting physician assisting radiology technology psychology and kinesiologyalready familiar with evidence-based practicewill find this resource helpful in implementing evidence-informed approaches to their teaching. While the content in clinical programs is quite different there are many similarities in how to teach students across such programs. Evidence-Based Education in the Classroom: Examples From Clinical Disciplines highlights these similarities and represents a masterclass in how to practice evidence-based education.
