Textbook Of Communication And Education Technology For Nurses

Description

Textbook of Communication and Education Technology for Nurses is a comprehensive 744-page core text mapping the full spread of nursing-education theory and practice into a single reference, spanning 15 chapters from the philosophical foundations of education through to interpersonal relationship and behavior in professional nursing practice. The book works through Indian Nursing Council program structuring, curriculum planning and evaluation, the teaching-learning process, and a wide range of teaching methods - lecture, demonstration, laboratory method, role play, simulated teaching, microteaching, and clinical teaching among them - before moving into audio-visual instructional media, achievement and clinical evaluation, and finally the communication, health education, guidance, counseling, discipline and group-dynamics chapters that round out a nurse educator's toolkit. Content is organized chapter-by-chapter with clearly defined sections, purposes, principles, techniques and step-by-step procedures for each teaching method and instructional tool covered, making dense pedagogy topics easy to locate and revise. Who This Book Is For: BSc Nursing Students: covers the full communication-and-educational-technology component of the undergraduate nursing curriculum in one core text. Post Basic BSc Nursing Students: consolidates nursing-education theory, curriculum planning and evaluation methods needed at the post-basic level. Nursing Tutors and Educators: a working reference for lesson/unit/course planning, clinical rotation planning, teaching-method selection and student evaluation. Why This Book Helps: Structures the entire teaching-learning toolkit in one place: lecture, demonstration, role play, simulation, microteaching, project method and more are each explained with purposes, techniques and limitations. Builds curriculum-planning competence: walks through curriculum construction, course/unit/lesson planning and the master clinical rotation plan step by step. Covers the full evaluation toolkit: achievement tests, rating scales, cumulative records and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) are each explained with purposes and types. Strengthens communication and counseling skills: dedicated chapters on therapeutic communication, guidance and counseling techniques build skills directly transferable to patient and student interaction. Connects education theory to real nursing-institution practice: chapters on the Indian Nursing Council, inservice education and continuing nursing education tie classroom theory to how nursing education is actually run. Key Features: 15 chapters spanning philosophies of education through relationship and behavior, organized as a single sequential curriculum reference. Dedicated coverage of modern teaching techniques including use of clickers in nursing education, concept mapping, simulated teaching and microteaching. A full chapter on Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) with definitions, purposes and types. Process recording and interpersonal-relations recording formats for patient-nurse interaction interviews. Separate chapters on leadership styles, motivation theories, crisis intervention and Childline, extending beyond classroom pedagogy into professional group dynamics and behavior. Review: Nice package - Good Review: Worst - Though this book is good and has content which can be refered to teachers but this book is not suitable for 2nd year nursing students
