<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nursing</strong> & <strong>Midwifery</strong>, <strong>Trinity</strong> College Dublin: 8 th Annual Interdisciplinary Research <strong>Conference</strong><br />

Transforming Healthcare Through Research, Education & Technology: 7 th – 9 th November 2007<br />

<strong>Conference</strong> <strong>Proceedings</strong><br />

From a constructivist philosophy, this poster will present an<br />

assessment <strong>of</strong> the usefulness <strong>of</strong> the cognitive information<br />

processing approach in both the classroom and clinical setting, to<br />

understand how student nurses can acquire and store information<br />

and recall it from memory, with the overall aim <strong>of</strong> adapting teaching<br />

strategies to enhance deep meaningful learning.<br />

Particular attention will be paid to one domain <strong>of</strong> learning, memory,<br />

and its two salient functions, encoding and retrieval. The process <strong>of</strong><br />

attention will be referred to briefly. Some teaching strategies,<br />

which can influence the processing <strong>of</strong> information to enhance deep<br />

meaningful learning within nurse education, will be explored.<br />
