The first component, Learning Objectives, provides the reader with clear goals for knowledge and skill-building and provides a foundation for readers to evaluate their progress toward clinical competence outcomes. The second component, Review of Concepts, provides a concise examination of the theoretical knowledge necessary for performance of clinical activities. This section provides a wealth of examples that serve as a preparation for actual practice of the clinical skill. The third component, Observation, challenges readers to witness the behavior of seasoned professionals in the act of clinical practice. Observation exercises may be performed by watching clinical instructors or practicing professionals in the laboratory, classroom, or clinic, utilizing the pertinent techniques with patients, students, or volunteers. The Observation component encourages students to learn by example and providing the opportunity for instructors to model exemplary clinical behavior.The fourth component, Guided Practice, leads the reader step-by-step through exercises designed to provide first-hand experience with performing clinical activities.
Components of each clinical activity are segmented into manageable modules, allowing readers to experience success with the individual elements of clinical techniques and systematically guide readers toward clinical competence. The final component, Reflection and Review, provides readers with opportunities to incorporate newfound understanding gained through Observation and Guided Practice into their theoretical and conceptual knowledgeable base through answering reflective and review questions. By explaining methods, describing experiences, and answering questions related to techniques, readers will demonstrate their understanding of concepts and have opportunity to assess learning in relation to expected outcomes, set forth in the Learning Objectives section. Chapters of the learning manual can be completed in a serial fashion, following the sequence of a typical audiologic evaluation.Alternatively, the order of activities can be tailored to suit a particular instructional curriculum, or as individual topics coalesce with the reader's immediate goals.
Topics addressed in each chapter are explored in-depth in the books of the associated Basic Audiometry Series of the Core Clinical Concepts in Audiology Series and references are provided to these books in order to provide an integrated learning experience for readers. Readers may also find additional information from other sources as well to be used as a supplement to or in lieu of these texts.
