Description

Patient care, clinical administrative management, and academic appointments are areas where practitioners have teaching obligations. Students in this course will acquire a working knowledge of the mechanisms by which adults learn, understand and remember. Students will apply these mechanisms to the study of teaching strategies and instructional decision-making. Topics will include cognition, information processing and assessment, theories of motivation, critical thinking and the application of this knowledge for teaching.
