“Teachers must change their assumptions about teaching and their approach to fostering student learning in four ways…” 1. Shift from decontextualized knowledge to teaching salience, situated cognition, and action 2. Shift from separation of classroom and clinical education to integration of classroom and clinical teaching 3. Shift to an emphasis on multiple ways of thinking which include critical thinking 4. Shift from socialization and role taking to role formation The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching: Educating Nurses: A Call for Radical Transformation (2010) Benner, P., Sutphen, M., Leonard, V. & Day, L.

◦ Learning is an active search for meaning ◦ Meaning requires understanding wholes as well as parts ◦ Students use past experiences to perceive the world ◦ Purpose of learning is for individuals to construct their own meaning not memorize ◦ Knowledge is created

 Critical thinking?  Student learning?  Post-structuralist presentation-non-linear  One study identified in higher ed literature Beyer, A. (2011). Improving student presentations: Pecha Kucha and Just Plain Powerpoint. Teaching of Psychology. 38(2):

Students ranked Pecha Kucha as top assignment from 6 different assignments. Students practiced > 2 hours with P K and less than an hour with traditional presentation styles. Pecha Kucha stronger student evaluative ratings of group performance over traditional presentation styles. Levin, M. & Peterson, L. (2013). Oliver, J. & Kowalczyk, C. ( 2013).

 “This design allows for creativity, organization and precision on selected topics. The suggested 20 second per slide challenges you to identify only pertinent points especially since people’s attention spans are limited”  “The utilization of timed slides in the Pecha Kucha format helped me learn to condense a large amount of information into small chunks”  “From the PK assignment, I learned how to narrow down only main points and not be too wordy”

 “The only downfall is the preparation time. If I am remembering correctly it took approximately 6 hours to put it all together and complete the voice over in the time allowed”  “time constraint can limit the medium for complex concepts”
