Analyzing and developing effective instructional behaviors for allied health educators.

This article discusses interaction alaysis, a procedure for objectively recording and analyzing the verbal interchange between instructors and students, which can aid instructors in setting goals for improving their instruction. The following questions are addressed: Why should instructors study their own behaviors? What conditions are necessary for studying one's teaching behaviors? What is interaction analysis? How does one implement interaction analysis? How does one interpret the results of interaction analysis? What does research indicate about interaction analysis? The authors mention the well-known Flanders System of Interaction Analysis, and outline the use of a simpler system, the System for Coding Interaction with Multiple Phases (SCIMP), developed by Townsend.

The wellness process.

Wellness is viewed as a continually evolving and changing process related to the developmental stages of man and the individual's completion of certain developmental tasks. Wellness differs from good health; it is a measurable process in which individuals actively participate to become more healthy. The index proposed here for assessing or measuring wellness is based upon the individual's completion of the minimal wellness tasks appropriate to his developmental stage.

An integrated model of learning.

Worldwide, most educational systems are based on three levels of education that utilize the pedagogical approaches to learning. In the 1960s, scholars formulated another approach to education that has become known as andragogy and has been applied to adult education. Several innovative scholars have seen how andragogy can be applied to teaching children. As a result, both andragogy and pedagogy are viewed as the opposite ends of the educational spectrum. Both of these approaches have a place and function within the modern educational framework. If one assumes that the goal of education is for the acquisition and application of knowledge, then both of these approaches can be used effectively for the attainment of that goal. In order to utilize these approaches effectively, an integrated model of learning has been developed that consists of initial teaching and exploratory learning phases. This model has both the directive and flexible qualities found in the theories of pedagogy and andragogy. With careful consideration and analysis this educational model can be utilized effectively within most educational systems.
