Name the thee learning domain
Cognitive
Psychomotor
Affective
What are the major goals for teaching?
Improve job skills & competency by Coping effectively with stress Managing existing systems Increasing critical thinking Increased competency inside tying problems
What is cognitive learning
Recall, application, and analytic levels of knowledge
Involves the development of intellectual abilitiess
What is affective learning?
Learning embraces new attitudes, values, beliefs, and ways of feeling
Self esteem and desire to learn grows in caring, respectful relationships
Uses learned behavior in real situations
What is psychomotor learning
Learn new skills or new ways of acting or doing
Stages of the learning process
Awareness- need to think, feel, or act differently
Info gathering- curious
Intellectual insight - cognitive learning learner weighs adv/disadvantages
Emotional insight- practices new behavior in real situations
New learned behavior- part of the way the learner thinks
Characteristics of instructional objectives
Be specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Separate outcome
Blooms taxonomy of cognitive learning
Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation
Education leadership theory
High task - low relationship
Unable and unwilling
High task - low relationship
Autocratic style leader provides specify direction regarding what is to be done
Edu learning theory
High task - high relationship
Unable but willing or confident
Democratic style - the leader participates in the group as a facilitator hh
High relationship - low task
Able but unwilling or insecure
Leader promoted cohesion snd collaboration
Low relationship-low task
Able and willing
Hands off style -educator allows members to determine the direction of learning
Name the two types of evaluation methods for education
Summative
Formative
What is summative evaluation method?
Occurs after the educational program. Determines overall effectiveness
What is formative evaluation method?
Conducted during the education session to provide immediate feedback and allow changes to be made
List the components of s research study

What is an abstract?
Brief summary of the research States purpose Methods Main findings conclusions
What is an introduction In Research?
States the research question
Justification and purpose of the research
What is included in the method section of research?
Description of population How participants were selected Sample size Methods for data analysis Pertinent facts to complete the study
What is described In the results section of research papers?d
Data presented in tables

suggestions for application of the research
Characteristics of adult learning
Is a response to a current situation
Tends to be problem centered
Adults have a readiness to learn and prefer practical knowledge
Retention increase when immediate application follows instruction
Adults attach greater value to personal experience
Motivated by job needs to increase salary
Qualitative research
Inductive approach
Exploratory research
New knowledge
Identifies variables and relationships between
Quantitative research
Typically used in health care
Measurable
Numbers
What 3 qualities are needed for a valid research study
Dependability
Credibility
Transferability
What is a cross sectional study?
Snapshot of a sample population that may include the studied outcome and the potential risk factors Study relationships (example of catheters causing UTI in hospitalized patients)
Quicker, easier,incidence can’t be determined.
Prevalence can be determined with series of cross sectional studies.
What is a case control study?
Can be done retrospectively
Population with and without a condition and compare
What is a cohort study?
Provide more compelling evidence for causal association
Population is studied/ compared to an outcome
Longer / more expensive
Prospectively
What is a randomized clinical trial?
Participants are assigned to a control group or treatment group
Minimizes bias
Double blinded reduces bias in determining outcomes
Best evidence for making changes to practice
What is an analytical study do?
Compare individuals with and without an outcome by the presence of one or more hypothesized risk factors.
Name 4 types of analytical studies?
Cross sectional
Case control
Cohort studies
Instructional objectives
Instructor determines the specific actions the learner will perform
example of a program goal
To provide information that will enable the employee to use the IPHONE manual
Example of instructional objective
After completion of the program, the employee will be able to list with 90% accuracy five infection prevention and control resources in the hospital
What is awareness learning process
The learner perceives a need to think feel or act differently
What is information gathering in the learning process
The learner is innately curious and seeks to understand and clarify new ways of behaving
What is intellectual insight in the learning process
The learner Waze advantages and disadvantages has a mental trial run. this is cognitive learning
What is emotional insight in the learning process
The learner practices new behavior in real situations.
effective learning
What is new learned behavior
The new behavior becomes part of the learners way of thinking feeling and behaving
Integrated knowledge
What are characteristics of adult learning
Respond to current situation- problem centered Prefer a practical over academic Retention increases after immediate application adults are motivated by job needs
What is hybrid learning
It is a formal educational course and where the face-to-face classroom methods have been replaced by online learning
Grasha’s five teaching styles
Expert - transmitter of information
Formal authority- sets standards
Personal model- teaches by direct examples
Facilitator- guides by asking questions
Delegator- develops students ability to function by themselves
What is a pie chart used for
A pie chart is best suited for visually representing the overall mean score and allowing viewers to rapidly compare one group to another
What is the P value
The P value is the probability of obtaining the observed sample results when the null hypothesis is actually true
If the P value is small and suggest that the observed data is inconsistent with the assumption and that null hypothesis is true and this hypothesis must be rejected an alternative hypothesis be excepted as true
What is item analysis in education
Item analysis is the process of examining students test scores in order to assess the quality of the individual test questions as well as the test itself
this helps and improve the test
What is the purpose of a needs assessment?
Identify deficiencies in knowledge skills or attitude
