Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine how to use narrative as a way to improve communication skills of nursing students through a liberal arts class. Narrative is a story to describe human behaviors, thoughts, memories, desires, and mentalities and it is a principle to develop knowledge, value, and culture. Narrative is the basis of cognition to learn the process of judgment when conducting communication. It is not a simple application of any judgment or rule to a situation, but rather an imaginative rationality to realistic understanding of the situation. Therefore, narrative thought is a process of thinking to understand reality by organizing past events in a specific form and synthesizing events that are related to each other. This helps students to talk about their experiences in the field and to find out the meanings of specific activities through the process of re-talking. Those are the ability to understand the world through narrative thought, the ability to correctly recognize perceptions, the ability to structure experiences into narrative forms, and the ability to consistently contextualize events. Narrative can be used as a powerful learning mechanism to provide students with opportunities and experiences to improve communication competency and to make up for existing communication education methods. |
