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.
Evidence-Based Education in the Classroom: Examples From Clinical Disciplines highlights these similarities and represents a masterclass in how to practice evidence-based education.
