CAPE is excited to announce a new series of discussion workshops exploring the application of learning theories in the health sciences education classroom. Each month we’ll be exploring a short piece of educational research that applies a learning theory to educational practice in the health sciences. We’ll briefly summarize the background theory and article before diving into a discussion of useful applications for faculty members here at WesternU.
This month we will discuss Gagne’s Events of Instruction as applied to a large format lecture courses. This month’s selected article looked at just that, as applied to Nursing education. Here’s a link to the article and a bit of background information (pdf, 2 pages).
By the completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Define and describe Gagne’s 9 Levels of Instruction
- Discuss strategies for application of the model
- Discuss the findings of the featured research article.
