@article { , title = {Pandora's Box: how to humanise educational technology to ensure an emotionally fluent midwifery programme - recognising the issues}, abstract = {This article will focus on the challenge of providing an emotionally vibrant midwifery curriculum for our three year undergraduate programme. We plan to achieve this through the creative use of e-learning opportunities and face-to-face workshops, designed to enable students to explore issues of emotion and communication in a variety of interrelated approaches. We have used the 4D Cycle Appreciative Inquiry approach (discovery, dreaming, design and destiny) to provide a framework for us to reflect on key educational issues in midwifery and enable us to explore ways in which we can weave a woman-focused perspective around our chosen framework (see Fig 1). Here we discuss the first two stages of the 4D cycle, discovery and dreaming, to establish what the issues are for us and to enable us to craft the workshops. The workshops will develop themes arising from both the theory and practice modules undertaken by student midwives throughout the curriculum and will provide the opportunity for reflective discussion on a range of activities. These activities will be styled around the experiences of parents, students, midwives and supervisors of midwives providing a synthesis of interactive media.}, issn = {0961-5555}, note = {School: sch\_nur}, pages = {423-427}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/7835}, volume = {23}, keyword = {610.7 Medical education, research & nursing, LB2300 Higher Education, Midwifery, nurse education, educational technology, e-learning, 4D Cycle Appreciative Inquiry;}, year = {2024}, author = {McLuckie, Connie and McHugh, Nessa} }
