Evidence-Based Education in the Classroom

<p><b><i>Evidence-Based Education in the Classroom: Examples From Clinical Disciplines</i></b> shows educators how to use evidence to inform teaching practices and improve educational outcomes for students in clinically based fields of study.<br><br>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:</p><ul> <li>A description of the teaching/learning context focused on in the chapter</li> <li>A brief review of original data or extant literature being applied </li> <li>A description of how evidence was applied in the teaching/learning context</li> <li>Additional ideas for how evidence could be applied in other teaching/learning contexts across clinical disciplines</li> <li>Additional resources related to the pedagogy described in the case study (e.g. journal articles books blogs websites)</li> </ul><p>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.<br><br>While the content in clinical programs is quite different there are many similarities in <i>how </i>to teach students across such programs. <i><b>Evidence-Based Education in the Classroom: Examples From Clinical Disciplines</b></i> highlights these similarities and represents a masterclass in how to practice evidence-based education.</p>
