| Abstract | The ability of the educational system to bring about thinking allied health practitioners will remain limited unless methods of education are used that bring about reflective practitioners able to be change agents. Education must be transformative, helping the individual to reach new personal or professional heights. Some sort of balance must be achieved between education and training in the health professions. Collaborative learning incorporates teaching techniques and attributes in a problem-solving environment. This unique approach to learning has excellent application to the allied health educational process, and its focus on problem-solving approaches provides students with the decision-making skills they will later need as practitioners. Three essential elements of a collaborative learning environment are that it is nonthreatening and democratic; the teacher acts as a facilitator; and the learner must contribute, solve problems, and discuss. The most prominent characteristic of collaborative learning is its emphasis on the acquisition of problem-solving skills. In addition to training for skills and education for problem posing and solving, a necessary focus is a third neglected component of the curriculum--the development of values and beliefs necessary for holistic education. (Contains 31 references. A model of holistic education for the allied health professions is appended.) (YLB) |
