Abstract:
Effective educators possess strong behaviors that allow them to adapt their classrooms and develop respectful relationships with students. However, despite their advanced degrees, advanced degree nursing students are not taught effective teaching skills prior to employment, and research on teaching effectiveness is limited. This study explores behaviors perceived as effective by nursing faculty at a public university. It is the first to use the Teacher Behavior Checklist in nursing education. Providing advanced degree nursing students with opportunities to understand and adopt effective, evidence-based teaching behaviors prior to starting their faculty careers would benefit students and learning institutions worldwide.
