The preceptor model of clinical instruction: the lived experiences of students, preceptors, and faculty-of-record
Abstract:
The preceptor model of clinical instruction will become increasingly popular due to the cost of undergraduate education, the scholarly demands of research and teaching, and an interest in developing new partnerships among students, clinicians, and teachers. It is quite timely, therefore, that nurse researchers reveal the nature and utility of this instructional model prior to its widespread use. To that end, hermeneutic interviews (N = 31) were conducted with senior-level undergraduate nursing students (n = 10), staff nurse preceptors (n = 11), and master's and PhD-prepared faculty-of-record (n = 10). Employing interpretive phenomenology, the authors identified common meanings, relational themes, and a constitutive pattern designated learning nursing thinking. An examination of this pattern and its associated themes may help identify those teaching practices that should be extended and those that should be altered.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
