Self-directed learning and portfolio development for nurses: developing workbooks as a facilitative tool
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 18:56 authored by Cleary, M, Freeman, AWorkbooks are often used for discipline-specific learning in academic institutions but there is growing recognition of their potential usefulness in the clinical setting to promote learning and professional development. The purpose of this paper is to share some tips/guidelines for those clinical staff interested in developing self-directed learning programs using a workbook approach. Combined with skilled facilitation, custom designed workbooks based on adult learning theories can enhance skills and encourage portfolio development in the clinical setting. This cost and time effective approach utilises existing resources to cater to diverse needs and topics, building sustainable collaborations. This paper will argue that the proposed program has the potential to contribute to healthcare improvement by promoting skill development amongst staff and contributing to evidence-based practice.
