A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Communication is simply the act of transferring
information from one place, person or group to
another.
• Every communication involves (at least) one
sender, a message and a recipient.
• The transmission of the message from sender to
recipient can be affected by a huge range of
things. These include our emotions, the cultural
situation, the medium used to communicate, and
even our location.
3. THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
Therapeutic communication is the face-to-face process of
interaction that focuses on advancing the physical and
emotional well-being of a patient.
Nurses use therapeutic communication techniques to provide
education and support to patients, while maintaining objectivity
and professional distance.

12. TYPES OF THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION
VERBAL COMMUNICATION
It occurs through the medium of words- spoken,
or written.
It can convey factual information accurately and
efficiently.
13. NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION
NON – VERBAL COMMUNICATION:
• It includes everything that does not involve the spoken or written
word. It involves all five senses.
There are five types of non – verbal Behavior.
• Vocal
• Action
• Object
• Space
• Touch
14. Vocal Cues
• Are also known as Paralinguistic cues .
• They include all the noises and extra
speech sounds .
• EXAMPLE - Tone of voice, pitch, Sounds
such as Laughing, nervous coughing.
15. 2. Action Cues
• Are mainly body movements.
• They include posture, Facial expression, mannerisms,
actions etc.
• Facial movements and postures particularly significant in
interpreting the speaker’s mood
3. Object Cues
• Are dress, furnishings and possessions.
• They communicate something to the observer about the
speaker’s feelings.
16. 4. Space
• Provides another cue to the nature of the relationship
between two people .
• Example- Chairs placed in a circle decrease the space
between the patient’s and between the nurse and the
patients.
17. 5.Touch
• Is the most personal of the non- verbal messages . It
involves both personal space and action .
• Most often in nursing, we use touch with therapeutic
goal . We lay hands on the body of an ill person for the
purpose of comforting him/her .
18. THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES
1.LISTENING :
• It is an active process of receiving information.
• Observing and listening skills.
• Therapeutic value :Non-verbally communicates
to the patient the nurse's interest and
acceptance.
19. 2. BROAD OPENINGS:
• Encouraging the client to select topics for
discussion.
• Eg : What are you thinking about ?
• Therapeutic value: Indicates acceptance by the
nurse and the value of patient's initiative.
20. 3. RESTATING:
• Repeating the main thought expressed by the client .
• Eg : You say that your Mother left you when you were 5
years old.
• Therapeutic value: Indicates that the nurse is listening
and validates, reinforces or calls attention to something
important that has been said.
21. 4. CLARIFICATION:
• Attempting to put unclear thoughts of the client into
words to enhance nurse’s understanding or asking the
client to explain what he/she means.
• Eg: “I am not sure about what you mean; could you tell
me again” ?
• Therapeutic value: It helps to clarify feelings, ideas and
perceptions of the patient and provides an explicit
correlation between them and the patient's actions.
22. 5. REFLECTING:
• Patients often ask nurses for advice about what
they should do about particular problems or in
specific situations.
• Nurses can ask patients what they think they
should do, which encourages patients to be
accountable for their own actions and helps
them come up with solutions themselves.
23. 6.HUMOR:
• The discharge of energy through the comic enjoyment of
the imperfect. That gives a whole new meaning to the
word ‘nervous’ , said with shared kidding between nurse
and the patient.
• Therapeutic value: Can promote insight by making
repressed material conscious, resolving paradoxes,
tempering aggression and revealing new options, and is a
socially acceptable form of sublimation.
24. 7. INFORMING :
• The skill of information sharing.
• Eg: “I think you need to know more about your
medications . ”
• Therapeutic value: Helpful in health teaching or patient
education about relevant aspects of patient's well-being
and self-care.
25. 8. FOCUSING
Questions or statements that help the patient expand on
a topic of importance.
Eg : “I think we should talk more about your relationship
with your Father”.
Therapeutic value: Allows the patient to discuss central
issues and keeps the communication process goal-
directed.
26. 9.Encouraging Descriptions of Perception
• For patients experiencing sensory issues or
hallucinations, it can be helpful to ask about
them in an encouraging, non-judgmental way.
Phrases like “What do you hear now?” or “What
does that look like to you?” give patients a
prompt to explain what they’re perceiving
without casting their perceptions in a negative
light.
27. 10.THEME IDENTIFICATION:
• This involves identification of underlying issue or problems
experienced by the client that emerge repeatedly during the
course of the nurse-client relationship .
• Eg : “I noticed that you said, you have been hurt or rejected by
the man. Do you think this is an underlying issue?”
• Therapeutic value: It allows the nurse to promote the patient's
exploration and understanding of important problems.
28. 11.SILENCE:
• Lack of communication for a therapeutic reason.
• Eg : Sitting with a client and non-verbally
communicating interest and involvement .
• Therapeutic value: Allows the patient time to
think and gain insight, slows the pace of the
interaction and encourages the patient to initiate
conversation while enjoying the nurse's support,
understanding and acceptance.
29. • At times, it’s useful to not speak at all. Deliberate
silence can give both nurses and patients an
opportunity to think through and process what
comes next in the conversation.
• It may give patients the time and space they
need to broach a new topic. Nurses should
always let patients break the silence.
30. 12.SUGGESTING :
• Presentation of alternative ideas for the patient's
consideration relative to problem solving.
• For example, "Have you thought about responding to
your boss in a different way when he raises that issue
with you? You could ask him if a specific problem has
occurred.“
• Therapeutic value: Increases the patient's perceived
notions or choices.
31. 13.Making Observations
• Observations about the appearance, demeanour,
or behaviour
• of patients can help draw attention to areas that
might pose a problem for them.
• Observing that they look tired may prompt
patients to explain why they haven’t been
getting much sleep lately; making an observation
that they haven’t been eating much may lead to
the discovery of a new symptom.
