Abstract
This paper discusses the evaluation of educational activities developed and implemented
in a tertiary based, pre-endorsement midwifery program in Brisbane, Australia. The
development of the experience-based activities outlined was driven by the feminist
philosophy of the curriculum and a commitment to helping students develop as woman-centred
practitioners. The activities focused on enabling students to hear women's stories
of childbearing firsthand and understand these stories from the women's perspective,
thus validating personal experience.
