| Summary: | Philosophiae Doctor - PhD (Nursing) === Nursing is the largest healthcare profession in Malawi with more than 11,000 registered
Nurses (RNs) and Nurse Technicians and Midwives (NTM) practicing in hospitals and other
settings like nursing colleges nationwide. Nursing tutors in all the nursing colleges use
numerous types of teaching aids in student preparation. There are numerous teaching
strategies that suit pedagogical learning, however not all can yield the desired outcome and
are properly applied in both classroom and clinical areas. Therefore, identifying the new
teaching strategies for nurse tutors is very critical in nursing education hence this study
concentrates on teaching competence, interaction and performance on the use of the
strategies.
Nurse tutors must encourage teaching and learning discovery through deliberate interactive
teaching actions. However, some outcome actions, competences and performance or
interactive behaviour of the nurse tutor are much to be desired in most nursing colleges in
Malawi. Nurses need to possess classroom and clinical teaching competences to perform the
role of a tutor properly.
