Description
ABSTRACT The purposes of this study were to a) describe the predominant teaching style of a group of nursing faculty members, either as teacher centered or student centered, and b) to compare teaching style to the instructional methods the faculty members used in the courses they taught and to their stated philosophies of teaching/learning. Findings indicate that the participants were more teacher centered than student centered; their written philosophies supported the teacher-centered approach. However, evidence that faculty used student-centered language, often in a teacher-centered context, indicates that participants in the study may recognize the need for a student-centered environment but may have difficulty with implementation. Recommendations for faculty members and administrators are offered. Despite the teacher's integral role in the creation of an environment conducive to the development of critical thinking (1,2), there has been no focus in nursing education research on how the teaching styles of faculty relate to the creation of learning environments supportive of critical thinking. Published research on critical thinking in nursing has largely focused on the measurement of student outcomes (3,4) and specific teaching strategies (5,6). The current study has a twofold purpose: 1) to describe the predominant teaching style of nursing faculty as either teacher centered or student centered, and 2) to compare teaching style to instructional methods faculty members used in courses they taught and to their stated philosophies of teaching and learning.
