International collaborative workshops. A 6-year partnership between Canada and China.

Interprofessional exchanges such as workshops are common activities in international development programs. The authors describe processes used to select, implement, and evaluate six collaborative workshops held in Tianjin, China, between 1990 and 1995. These workshops targeted curricular change for a baccalaureate nursing program in Tianjin Medical University. Our experience highlights the importance of understanding the assumptive base for change, developing an institutional memory in both partner universities, introducing interactive teaching methods congruent with Chinese value systems, and using a formative evaluation strategy to foster cross-cultural dialogue and mutual understanding among project partners.

Transcultural reflection on clinical teaching using an experiential teaching-learning model.

BACKGROUND: A 6-day professional development workshop was designed and implemented in China as part of a project funded by the Canadian International Development Association through the Canada-China University linkage program. METHOD: Kolb's experiential learning model was used as a framework to help Chinese nurse educators reflect on their practice as clinical teachers. RESULTS: The workshop resulted in the generation of new insights by participants into their role as clinical teachers. Chinese educators wanted to increase their links between the teaching of theory at the college and the instruction of students in the practice setting. CONCLUSION: The use of a similar approach in future professional development workshops allows presenters to identify nurses' learning needs regarding specific areas of nursing practice and education.
