A member of a nursing students study group comments, "I wish our instructor would just tell us the important information that we will be tested on in our course and on NCLEX®
®. Instead, we spend some time early in the class discussing key facts then the most of the time working through case studies, then practicing on the simulator rather than caring for ‘real' patients." This teaching-learning style represents:
a. memorization of basic facts presented early in the lecture.
b. Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE).
c. peer-to-peer learning.
d. practice-based competency.
ANS: D
Correct: Practice-bases competency includes active engagement and application in real practice situations and interactive strategies such as case studies and simulation.
Incorrect:
a. Lectures and readings are passive and promote memorization.
b. Objective Structured Clinical Exams are examinations or assessment measures rather than a teaching-learning style.
c. Peer-to-peer learning involves peer teaching to helps students at risk.
