 Vol. 7 (2010)/ Issue 1 / Articles
 Learner-Centered Characteristics of Nurse
Educators
 A qualitative research design was used to address
the research question. Themes that emerged were
placed under the concepts of power, role of
teacher, responsibility of learner, and philosophy
of evaluation guided by Weimer's (2002)
conceptual framework of a learner-centered
philosophy of teaching. Themes and meaning units
derived from the study helped to generate textual
and structure statements that represent the
characterizations of learner-centered nurse
educators.

44.  THE CLINICAL INSTRUCTOR ROLE IN NURSING EDUCATION:
A STRUCTURED LITERATURE REVIEW
 Abstract
 A structured literature review was conducted to
understand clinical instructors’ perceptions of their role
and the factors that facilitate and constrain their teaching
in undergraduate nursing programs. The literature
published in English between 2000 and 2011 was searched,
and data were extracted from 15 articles that met the
inclusion criteria. The analysis identified four themes—
characteristics of the role, characteristics of effective
clinical teaching, influence of the clinical context on the
role, and influence of the academic context on the role.
Clinical instructors are portrayed as needing to be good
educators, as well as excellent clinicians. However, they
often lack formal education and professional development
opportunities related to the role and must draw on their
individual personal and professional experiences to guide
their teaching to meet the demands of both the clinical
and academic contexts in which they simultaneously work.
