Teaching Thinking and Thinking Teaching: Clinical Reasoning in Athletic Training Education reviews the inherent pedagogical challenges and difficulties for athletic training educators today associated with effectively connecting the didactic to the clinical, in order to ensure clinical competency in future practitioners. The DVD examines the notion that “thinking,” or more directly that “clinical thinking,” needs to be investigated as a more precise outcome and pedagogical strategy than critical thinking, in its generic form. The DVD also presents a model of clinical reasoning that is a synthesis of hypothetico-deductive reasoning (HDR) and case pattern recognition (CPR), that’s been co-opted from medical education, as an apropos and effective strategy for teaching and evaluating problem-based cognitive processing (clinical thinking), and also one inherently capable of connecting the didactic to the clinical in order to better enhance the educative and pre-professional experiences of athletic training students. In addition, the DVD offers creative classroom and clinical strategies for implementing clinical reasoning into the formal AT curriculum, so that individuals will be better prepared to address the complex challenges associated with teaching and evaluating clinical competence.
