Story-Sharing Facilitation Guide: An Educational Strategy to Develop Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare Leaders
Background:
A reflective praxis process has been developed to facilitate story-sharing, an educational strategy grounded in narrative pedagogy.
Method:
This article describes this strategy, the Story-Sharing Facilitation Guide (SSFG). The guide allows educators to facilitate the telling of a story that often triggers a memory of similar or contrasting experiences. Sharing stories helps learners find personal and professional meaning, develop new insights, and revise actions. The SSFG is underpinned by Dreyfus and Taylor's Contact Theory of how human beings learn and come to know and understand their different life-worlds.
Results:
The SSFG was developed and used by faculty in a leadership training program. Evaluation results of the program found this to be an effective educational method.
Conclusion:
The guide provides educators with an intentional process of reflection that deepens learning and allows for labeling the experience and linking it with the concepts being taught. [.
