In the required text, Innovative Teaching Strategies in Nursing and Related Health Professions, Chapters 1 through 8 present concepts and trends that are of key importance in teaching and learning.
Specifically, Chapter 2 “Culture and Diversity in the Classroom” and Chapter 3 “The Teaching-Learning Experience from a Generational Perspective” focus on culture, diversity, and the generational gaps challenging educators – these considerations should inform your discussion and reflective analysis of the following questions:
From your perspective as an Educator:
1. Discuss how two (2) cultural trends, specifically feminism and one other one that you choose to identify of current relevance, impact the teaching and learning environment you would encounter in: 1) a clinical educational setting, and 2) a classroom educational setting.
2. Describe how inter professional education is influenced by culture and diversity. Include the perspective of at least two (2) professions in addition to nursing regarding these concepts, and the “culture” of the professions they represent.
3. How do culture and diversity impact development of critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills?
