-assesses the learner’s deficits
-presents appropriate information
in unique ways.
-identifies progress being made.
-gives feedback
The educator:
what the learner
needs to learn
Learning needs
when the
learner is receptive to learning
Readiness to learn
How the learner learns best
Learning style
are gaps in knowledge that
exist between a desired level of performance
and the actual level of performance.
Learning needs:
Is there only one learner with a single need
or many needs?
Is there more than one learner with
congruent or diverse needs?
Identify the learner
Establish trusting relationship through
assuring privacy and confidentiality, so that
learners feel secure in confiding
information and feel respected.
Choose the right setting
Determine characteristic needs of the audience by
exploring typical health problems or issues of interest.
Subsequently, identify the type and extent of content
to be included in the teaching sessions.
Collect data on the learner
Allow the patient and/or family and staff members to
identify what is important to them.
Include the learner as the source of information
Other healthcare providers may have insight into patient, family,
nursing staff, and nursing students’ educational needs. Because
of their frequent contacts with them.
Involve members of the healthcare team
A list of needs can become endless and
seemingly impossible to accomplish.
Using Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs, an
educator can prioritise identified learning
needs. The educator can then assist the
learner to meet the most important basic need
first.
Prioritize needs
Needs that must be learned for survival or situations in which
the learner’s life or safety is threatened.
Mandatory
Needs that are not life-dependent but are related
to well-being.
Desirable
Needs for information that are nice to know but
not essential or required because they are not
directly related to daily activities or the particular
situation of the learner.
Possible
After identifying a need, it may be useless to
proceed with the intervention if proper
educational resources are not available.
Determine availability of educational resources
Often, learning needs are identified during informal talk with
other healthcare providers, and between the nurse and the
patient/ family.
Informal conversation
The nurse asks the patient direct and often predetermined
questions. Establishing trust, using open-ended questions, quiet environment, and allowing the patient to state what his learning needs are merit attention.
Structured interview
The educator gets together 4-12 learners to
determine areas of educational need.
The educator leads the discussion and asks
open-ended questions.
Focus groups
These are
easy to administer and provide more privacy
than interviews.
Self-administered questionnaires
Written pre-tests given before teaching can
help identify the knowledge level of learners
regarding a particular subject matter and assist
in identifying a specific needs of learner.
Tests
Watching a learner perform a skill more than
once is an excellent way of assessing
psychomotor need.
Observation
It is the time when the learner demonstrates an
interest, willingness, and ability to learn the type
or degree of information necessary to maintain
optimal health or to become skillful in a job.

Learning styles
Knowledge readiness
the way in which
each learner begins to concentrate
and retain new and difficult
information.
Learning style
A student learns by reading a material, and uses visual
material such as charts, pictures, maps.
Visual
A student learns by listening, participates in discussions, makes
speeches and presentations, and reads the text aloud.
Auditory
A student learns by touching.
Kinesthetic
Learning style principles
- Style the educator prefers and style by which learners learn.
- Caution against using teaching methods and tools that only apply to the educators own learning style.
- Assist the learner in identifying and learning according to their
own learning preference. - Learners given opportunity to learn through their preferred style first.
- Encourage learner to diversify their style preferences.
- Specific learning activities that reinforce each modality or style.
