This paper explores the use of learning contracts - a tool that can facilitate self- directed learning that is specific to an individual student's needs. Reflection on the experience of using contracts within an Australian university highlighted some perceived benefits for learning and teaching as well as potential limitations and areas of concern. Recommendations for effective use of contracts in teaching nursing include: that teachers should be adequately prepared for additional roles required in the implementation of contracts; the tool itself should be simplified and easy to read; and, students should be assisted to set realistic goals and to think about quality learning.
本文探讨了学习契约的使用——这是一种能够促进针对个体学生需求的自主学习的工具。对在澳大利亚一所大学使用契约的经验进行反思后发现，契约在学习和教学方面有一些明显的益处，同时也存在潜在的局限性和令人担忧的方面。关于在护理教学中有效使用契约的建议包括：教师应为实施契约所需的额外角色做好充分准备；工具本身应简化且易于阅读；并且，应帮助学生设定现实的目标并思考高质量的学习。
