Description
Summary:Baccalaureate nursing students must apply health promotion, disease prevention, and epidemiology concepts to populations across the life span (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2008). Positive interdependence encourages promotive interactions, which in turn determines the outcome or success of the group (Johnson et. al., 2007). Because cooperative learning typically occurs in small groups of students working side by side, it can be challenging to implement with large class sizes in a stadium-style setting. Using this active learning style with a carefully developed, preplanned template may improve students' ability to learn and apply community health concepts to a larger population despite large classes and challenging classroom environments.
