Reflective practise in clinical teaching.
The present paper describes the process of reflective practise in clinical teaching through a workshop entitled 'Effective Clinical Teaching'. The clinical teachers were invited to analyze the content of a videotape in which various clinical teaching scenarios were presented. Following this, they discussed a series of questions designed to promote reflective activities and evaluated the interaction among the student, the client and the clinical teachers in each scenario. The teachers also identified the positive and negative aspects of the teaching approaches portrayed on the tape. Finally, the participants made recommendations that would improve the interaction and suggested alternate teaching strategies to enhance the learning outcome. In addition, there was sharing of clinical teaching experiences among the clinical teachers. Through this process of reflection on action, the clinical teachers were able to understand various teaching approaches as perceived by students, and to address the issues that might hinder student learning in clinical settings. Different reflective activities have also been proposed to enhance student's reflective learning skills.
