Learning theories made easy: humanism.
This is the last of three articles explaining theories of learning with particular relevance to clinical areas. In the story so far, the Director of Nursing Education at the St Elsewhere Academy of Nursing is trying to create the ultimate programme of nursing education. In order to ensure that the very highest standards of teaching and learning are achieved, the DNE has decided to employ a theorist of learning. She first interviewed the candidate representing the school of behaviourism, and last week the cognitivist candidate made his presentation. The series now concludes with the humanist candidate--and the final decision.
