Experiences of encouraging student-centred learning within a wellness-oriented curriculum.

This paper describes the use of learning logs as a tool for self-assessment and reflection during a 'well people' module within a Bachelor of Nursing programme. A qualitative analysis of the students' learning goals and reflective accounts from the learning logs are presented, together with extracts from the written evaluation of the module. Recommendations are made for enhancing the potential of the learning log as a flexible learning tool which can help students to draw upon professional knowledge in order to make sense of their experiences.
