Story-Based Learning Research Paper

The purpose of this paper to is reflect back on the Story Based Learning (SBL) group project. I will discuss the use of my strong relational practice still that lead to the development of group round rules that allowed us to communicate with each other. I will discuss how the challenges our group faced as: ineffective communication and one of our group member lack of preparedness. I will give you my personal feelings about the SBL assignment and our presentation. Next I reflect on the peer feed back received and reflect back on my own performance.. Our first meeting was complete chaos, everyone was in a panic about what needed to be done, while not being completely sure what the assignment was. I walked away from our first meeting having

Our group took the time to rehears our presentation twice and each time we did it she would break down in eyes when she finished. It was disruptive to our rehearsal as we were timing ourselves and this behaviour distracted the next presenter. The first time it happened she made the excuse that she was just not prepared enough for the rehearsal and we were all supportive. We let her know that we were all in this group together and that she had done a great job. The second time we rehearsed the same thing happened again.

I am not sure there was much more we could do to help her with her confidence. She does a very nice job of presenting, her speech is clear and is at a smooth rate. In the actually presentation she was excellent. She presented her portion with confidence and

They pack a lot information from a large group in to a very short period of time. There is so much work and preparation that goes in to a project that felt a little like a review, meaning I do not think we presented the class with anything new but applied nursing knowledge to Peters story. In our presentation I feel that there where a few key point that were made clearly: the palliative approach to heart failure and discharge planning after an acute exacerbation of heart failure. I loved the discharge video we made for our presentation. Thinking back on the video we made and class we had on heart failure when Tammy Mclean visited, and I think an effective way to engage our class would have been to live act our SBL or even create a video and pause it every now and then to engage the class ask questions and allow questions to be asked. Over all I feel we did the best we could, talking fast and not engaging our audience as much as we could so we could show our video. Based on the peer feed back forms the audience loved the video and were very supportive of our presentation
