LESSON 5: Assessing the Learner Flashcards
culture
literacy
age
education level and health status
socio-economic level
Learners’ characteristics
what are the three determinants
learning needs
readiness to learn
learning style
gaps in knowledge
learning needs
learning needs for survival
mandatory
learning needs that are not life dependent but related
desirable
learning needs that are nice to know but not essential
possible
PEEK
Physical
emotional
experiential
knowledge
measures of ability
complexity of task
environmental effects
health status
gender
Physical Readiness
anxiety level
support system
motivation
frame of mind
developmental stage
emotional readiness
level of aspiration
past coping mechanisms
cultural background
risk taking behavior
locus of control
orientation
experiential readiness
present knowledge base
cognitive ability
learning disabilities
learning styles
Knowledge readiness
Influences gender roles,sexual
behavior,diet,personal
hygiene,body image,drug
use,exercise, communication
culture
ability to read&understand
what is being read
literacy
older adults tend to learn best
when the information is relevant
to them&has a practical
application
age
establish the client’s level
of knowledge or depth of
understanding of his/her
condition;to provide
information at appropriate
level-basic or in great
medical detail
education level and health status
Identify as many variables
as possible that may affect
the learning or ultimately
on complying with health
care
socio-economic level
Learning is a four stage cycle
Theory of Experiential Learning by David Kolb
learning from actual experience
concret experience
learning by observing others
reflective observation
creating theories to explain what is seen
abstract conceptualization
using theories to solve problems
active experimentation
learns by abstract
conceptualization & active
experimentation
learns by technical work
converger
A person who stresses concrete
experience(CE) & reflective
observation(RO)
feeling, people-oriented, groups
diverger
A person who relies heavily on
concrete experience (CE)& active
experimentation(AE)
acts on intuition, risk-taker, use trial-and-error
accomodator
A person who emphasizes abstract
conceptualization (AC)& reflective
observation(RO)
more concerned on ideas rather than people
assimilator
four dimensions of cognitive learning style by whom
Anthony Gregorc’s Cognitive Style’s model
focused on concrete details, highly structured, quiet
learning environment; don’t like being interrupted
physical senses
concrete sequential
intuitive, trial and error, looks for alternatives
intuition
concrete random
seek understanding, need consistency in learning environment; With good verbal skills, logical & rational
intellect
abstract sequential
Think holistically & benefit greatly from visual stimuli
Like busy, unstructured learning environments;
emotions
abstract random
More difficulty with mathematical reasoning
Analyzes the whole picture, less able to analyze the elements
Does not perceive details
More people oriented
Attitudes guided by authority figures or peer group
See themselves as others see them
field dependent
strong mathematical reasoning
analyzes elements in a situation
recognizes and recalls details
task oriented
forms attitudes independently
more pronounced self identity
field independent
