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 kinesiology—already familiar with evidence-based practice—will 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.
highlights these similarities and represents a masterclass in how to practice evidence-based education.
