Faculty as Active Learners About Their Practice: Toward Innovation and Change in Nursing Education

摘要

This article describes the perceptions of a small group of nursing education faculty members participating in the continuing professional development module, Pedagogy in Higher Education, regarding the use of active learning strategies. Data were collected using field notes and participants' presentations and articles about their experiences when using innovative teaching strategies. The findings point out the benefits for knowledge mobilization, the development of synergies based on collaboration, and other gains in terms of students' experiences. Challenges involve the use of these active strategies on a regular basis as part of a sustained and aligned approach to enhance teaching and learning.
