The book rests on the assumption chat you its readers, are self-directed in the quest for knowlcdge and thatthe need {or information that isnot provided inthis text guides the route to your further learning. As such, we do not intend this to be a comprehensive text. We also assume that all professional education for nurses resides in higher education and thar it will besoin the future. Thus we use the term ‘student to designate give status toa nurse enrolled in an education programme. We use the term “Teames only to describe an individual (nurse) in the process of learning. Tn terms of style, we have written this book in such a way that it i as accessible as possible to you, the reader. Therefore, we use the term ‘we to zefer to ourselves as authors, in some cases to refer to nurses in general and in justa few cases to reer to people in general ~ the context ofthe sentence vill make the meaning clear in cach case. We always reer to yourselves as ‘you. Occasionally we may remind you of your position as nurse edueato, but mostly we address you directly. Furthermore, for ease of reading, inthis bbook we assume that the term ‘man encompasses all human hag tnd {emale respective of age; political, social and economic status; creed; culture and penal heath sa wile hehnti nclues + pts male aad female, ofall age groups, and ‘she7her’7hers includes a nurse educator and ruse practitioner, female and male . In writing this book we had two goals in mind: fst, to provide nursing education students and educators with information needed to understand the fundamentals of teaching and learning in order to fulfil their roles as learners and as facilitators of learning respectively. Second, co consistendy profile ‘nursing science and art that informs all reaching and all learning. In achieving these goals we decided on 17 chapters, carefully erafed 19 provide content on the pedagogy and processes of teaching and learning, the contents for teaching and learning, and issues that diecty and indhrectiy impact on the nursing education landscape. Although the numberof chapters is the same 38 in the previous edition of the bool, we have modified some, replaced others and included new ones. $$ iv MBTI Mca. ‘MDG MEQ.
