Active Learning Strategies for OB Nursing: A Nurse Educator’s Guide to Evidence-Based Maternal Infant Health Teaching

Active learning is simply — building activity into learning. This book provides strategies for the nurse educator, including evidence-based maternity care practices, that will produce positive and lasting learner outcomes. Because a "one size fits all" method for designing learning strategies is not effective at all levels—the author presents techniques towards facilitating a 'learner led' teaching environment. Solutions for decreasing lecture time and increasing the use of purposeful, directed, learning activities that serve as a reinforcement of the text in maternal infant health teaching are presented. With the emphasis on building skills to support students and clients in making informed choices in childbirth, and inspiration for workers to increase their clients’ confidence for normal birthing—this book outlines activities that have been classroom tested and found effective for reinforcing maternal infant health content.
