Look at the concept the student is learning and then look at the patient at the clinical bedside (use scenario weighted pre-class assignment and during class) and state: There is a Perfusion issue! Or there is a Communication issue. Speak the language.
In pairs of two students, each student takes turns 1 SBARs the other. In response does the 2+2 = 2 compliments + 2 Questions/Critiques = watching others develop their critical thinking skills which results in a collaborative IQ.
1) Students write one to two quiz questions for tomorrow. 2) First ten minutes of next class give your buddy the question and see if they can answer it. 3) Have students practice questions
4) Students put questions on discussion board and this becomes their study guide. 5) Include a few of the good ones on next exam. 6) Repeat the “6 pack” every month-not “one and done”.
2) In a concept/subject area have the student highlight in green the three most important chronic but stable conditions then highlight in yellow the three most important acute unstable conditions.
20 minute rule- do something to reinforce what you just read(heard) look up you-tube video/copy link to you-tube video/add to notes/do 2+2-need 1 per chapter/2+2 critique video, what did it do well(compliments/ what didn’t it do well(critiques)? Students will then see relevance
Scenario regarding a patient at risk for Infection (put anything here). Give the basics about this patient ahead of time and then come to class ready to be on clinical.
Before reading Chapter 38 perform Pre-class Quiz- print out and bring ticket to class. Then read Chapter 38 according to evidence in education literature the content that the student got wrong will leap out of text.
