Kinesthetic/Tactile Teaching

Published

I'm required to teach a Palliative Care lesson using kinesthetic and tactile teaching activities. The environment is 32 junior nursing students in a lecture room with not much additional space. Any suggestions?

Do you have any particular topics in mind?

It seems like it might be helpful to come up with some potential topics and then see which of them lend themselves best to various kinds of kinesthetic activities.

Do you have sim capability? Most of palliative care is psychosocial and physiological, so the idea of teaching it in a kinesthetic way sounds difficulty without the use of manikins.

Topic is Palliative Care so anything that falls under that umbrella is allowed. No Sim available for this lesson. It is in a lecture room, and therein lies the challenge.

American Nurses Foundation is offering FREE Palliative Care Educational materials based on the film Defining Hope, created by Carolyn Jones. Each of the video segments is about 6-10 minutes in length and has a study guide --- possible have students act out a scenario used in the film, sure would be conversation starters. Karen
