Interpersonal interaction skills revolve around the ability of the teacher to provide certain core conditions which are essential in creating a positive educational setting.
Our students need to communicate effectively to ensure that their patients are able to understand and follow treatment plans.
I am adding more group discussion, trying to incorporate all learning styles, etc.
There are many parts of communication that involve much more than just talking!
It's crucial that students learn the soft skills in team work and presentations. In teamwork, instructors should listen to and be aware of what's happening in groups. If an argument arises, an instructor may want to step in and give reminders of how to positively conduct themselves, but allow students to in the end solve problem themselves. Presentations may cause anxiety in many students, but thesse problems can be managed and overcome when the teacher encourages notetaking ahead of time, practice, and preparation.
the importance to identify each students learning style
working in teams builds confidence and professionalism
Collaboration amongst students, especially in classroom and simulation setting, is a great way to improve teamwork. The better they get to know each other, the better they will be able to communicate, sometimes even nonverbally.
Building a strong sense of teamwork among a clas is vital. Especially if you are teaching a class that students are together for multiple years hours class hours. Teaching students to be aware of all aspects of communication and verbal/nonverbal cues is also a key aspect that employers are searching for from todays students.
Effective communication is multi-faceted. One must be aware of their verbal and non-verbal cues during a discussion or presentation. These are skills that should be practiced often and will improve over time.
Have the students write a blog and then have them rewrite the blog after the lecture and hands on presentation to see how their attitude can change with learning. have them share theirt blog outloud in class to stimulate conversation or idealogical enlightenment.
I learned that effective communication and teambuilding are important concepts that must be made part of the course curriculum. These skills will be invaluable to the student whenn he or she enters the workplace as well as throughout their lives.
I belive it's an important part of the learning process when the students participate. Team building skills will be something they can carry with them throughout life, as long as they are held resposible for doing their part.
Students must be encouraged to build their teamwork skills. Small group discussions or assignments would be a great way to develop teamwork skills.
Open ended questions are a great way to get the students engaged in a discussion.
My students work in groups for most assignments. It strengthens individual collaboration skills, verbal expression and conflict management.
Students should have plenty of oppurtunities to work in groups, as many careers have transitioned to teamwork.
Teams are good for students, especially in career oriented professions.
Group activities in a virtual clincial world can be challengeing. Face time has proved beneficial in allowing student to work together and maintain social distancing. Group activites in person are not always welcome with open arms but prove to be beneficial at the end of the program. Students must be presented the idea in a positive manner to help promote that soft skill and allow them to practice controlling their emotions.
