INTRODUCTION

This is part of Module 21 of course NUR 302. The aim of this part is to introduce you to some of the theories and principles of education and teaching methods that you will need to teach learners who may be nursing students, patients and their families, communities and societies. Particular emphasis is going to be placed on the teaching of adult learners and ways you can use to strengthen what your learners have learnt.

This Part has six (6) units. Each has specific Learning Outcomes that you must ensure that you attain. Each unit also has activities that are designed to help you to better understand the material. You must ensure that you do these activities before the next unit because in most cases, the understanding of the new unit hinges on your understanding of the current unit.

As you go through the module, you will find that there are certain words that are written in bold face, and activities that you are required to do. It is your responsibility to understand the various meanings of such words.
