[Educating the patient: skills needed to nursing at the crossroads of care and pedagogy].
The educational team interrogated itself concerning its pedagogical competence within the framework of its educational activity for asthmatics: how does the care provider become a learning facilitator for the asthmatic person? Among the possible responses, there were two aspects which appeared essential: understanding the patient's learning logic and taking into consideration his/her representations and prior knowledge. The concrete translation of these principles primarily rests upon an educational programme truly centred on the person in question, and one which uses interactive methods, promoting the transfer of knowledge in daily life. Then the caregiver utilises previous experience and the asthmatic's representations in order to solicit a cognitive conflict, a source of learning.
