Tutor-student interaction in the operating theatre. 1976

N S Paget, and T F Lambert

This paper examines the view that productive teaching in the operating theatre requires a recognition of the unique set of factors which may influence the process of communication. For tutor-student interaction to occur in a productive manner, the tutor's behaviour will need to be modified to suit the demands of the other tasks in which both tutor and student are involved. The particular value of recognizing the role of nonverbal behaviours during interaction is discussed, with the use of specific examples related to the positioning of the tutor and student, and their use of facial expression, the eyes and voice.
