EXPERIENCES OF ENCOURAGING STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING WITHIN A WELLNESS-ORIENTED CURRICULUM

This paper describes the use of learning logs as a tool for self-asses sment and reflection during a 'well people' module within a Bachelor o f Nursing programme. A qualitative analysis of the students' learning goals and reflective accounts from the learning logs are presented, to gether with extracts from the written evaluation of the module. Recomm endations are made for enhancing the potential of the learning log as a flexible learning tool which can help students to draw upon professi onal knowledge in order to make sense of their experiences.
