Classroom and clinical teaching in nursing: delineating differences.
Although ability to teach in the classroom is generally considered sufficient preparation for clinical teaching, the reality can be a surprisingly different multidimensional role. The author presents a list of 15 specific and significant differences that exist between the two teaching performances. The settings are compared using three components common to both: instructional, evaluative, and interpersonal interactions. Myths, misconceptions, and realities about the two teaching arenas are discussed. A conceptual relationship between the two instructional settings is presented. Recommendations are offered to reduce teacher anxiety, confusion, and frustration created by existing myths/misconceptions.
