The theoretical perspectives that guide the course are drawn from research related to how knowledge is constructed, what factors promote and sustain student motivation and what issues instructors need to acknowledge within the social context of clinical teaching and learning. The nature of the instructional approach will be participant centered, emphasize a humanist educational philosophy and highlight constructivist and facilitative teaching strategies.
