Objectives
This presentation is designed to:
1. Help clinical instructors gain an appreciation for the
importance of post-conferencing as a teaching
strategy, and understand their role as a learning
facilitator; and
2. Increase awareness about the need for empirical
evidence to help sustain post-conferencing as an
integral part of nursing education.

thoughtful, committed people can change
the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that
ever has." ~ Margaret Mead

Theoretical Influences
oTransformative Learning Theoryo Learners have perspectives based on learning experiences, thoughts,
values and insights
o Critical reflection is essential (Hsu, 2007)
oBehavioural-Environmental Theoryo Human behaviour is a function of the state of the person AND the
environment in which the person exists (Letizia & Jennrich, 1998)
oBloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Domainso Knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and
evaluation
o Most instructors ask questions at the first two levels – higher level
questioning is needed to develop critical thinking skills (Gaberson & Oermann,
2010a; Hsu, 2007; Oermann, 2008)

Reflection
o Think back to when you were a student in the
clinical setting and consider a time when you
experienced something that made you feel
happy, sad, angry, apprehensive, frightened,
or anxious.
o How did you manage these feelings?

Debriefing & Reflective
Learning
o Debriefing and reflective learning are well known
functions of the clinical post-conference.
o Discuss the clinical experience;
o Share information;
o Analyze clinical situations;
o Clarify relationships;
o Identify problems;
o Utilize group process; and
o Cultivate support systems to foster the development of
reflective learning.

Critical Thinking
o The development of critical
thinking skills and problem-solving
abilities are among the primary
goals of clinical post-conferencing
and there is plenty of literature to
support this notion.

Modern Applications
Barriers
• Fatigue
• Limited availability of
physical space
• Lack of technological
resources
• Complex patient
care needs
Advantages
• Enhance active
learning
• Increase interaction
• Interactive synthesis

Modern Applications
Online Conferencing
oOnline forums are excellent environments for
supporting peer and collaborative learning (Cooper
et al., 2004; Hermann, 2006; Rentmeester, 2006).

Modern Applications
Teleconferencing
• An appropriate alternative to post-clinical
conferencing when face-to-face communication
is impractical (Adegbola, 2011).

Role of Faculty
o Facilitation• Faculty serve as conference facilitators by utilizing these
facilitating behaviours:
1) supporting, encouraging, and sharing information;
2) being flexible yet focused;
3) encouraging and enhancing active participation of all students;
4) posing ideas and questions;
5) providing feedback in a non-threatening way;
6) creating an environment that is conducive to discussion and sharing;
7) assisting students in identifying relationships, patterns and trends;
8) being alert to teaching and learning moments; and
9) facilitating the group process.(Stokes & Kost, 2012)

Reflection
o Think about the type of questions you ask your
students during post-conference.
o Which cognitive domain of Bloom’s taxonomy do
they belong to?• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation

Promoting Higher-Order
Thinking
o Faculty consistently ask low-level (recall) questions.
o There is a need to ask higher-level questions to
promote higher-order thinking.

Conclusions
o Overall, the purpose and value of post-
conferencing as a clinical teaching strategy is
well articulated and well supported in the
literature, although there is a quantifiable lack of
empirical evidence and contemporary research.
o The development of critical thinking and clinical
reasoning skills continue to be the driving force
behind the endurance of this clinical teaching
strategy despite the absence of objective
measurements.

Future Directions
o Recommendations for further study include:o Comparing the impact of post-conference learning
environments (online vs. face-to-face) on the educational
process and learning outcomes;
o Exploring faculty perceptions of higher-order questioning;
o Measuring critical thinking and clinical reasoning as
outcomes of post-conference learning; and
o Examining the post-conference with a constructivist lens.
