MIDTERM 1 Flashcards
a systematic, sequential, logical, scientifically-based planned course of action consistenting of two major interdepending operations - teaching and learning. The outcome of this process leads to mutually desired behaviour change
definition of “education process”
define “learning”
observable or measurable change in behaviour as a result of exposure to environmental stimuli
define “patient education”
any set of planned educational activities using a combination of methods (teaching, counselling, behaviour modifications) that is designed to improve patient’s knowledge and health behaviours
why is health education critical to the role of a nurse?
- Assessing problems or deficits * Providing important information and presenting it in unique and appropriate ways
- Identifying progress being made
- Giving feedback and follow-up * Reinforcing learning in the attainment of new knowledge, skills, and attitudes
- Evaluating learners’ abilities
how do elements of health education fit within the steps of the nursing process? discuss assessment
assessment: ascertain learning needs, readiness to learn, and learning styles
what are the five different learning theories?
-Behaviorist
- cognitive
-constructivist
-humanist
-social
what are the stages of motor learning?
in behaviourist theory, what is the purpose of rewards?
to increase the likelihood that a behaviour will be repeated
cognitive learning theory is based on the work of ______ and ______
piaget, gestalt
miss smith works with kindergarten students to verbally communicate their feelings, knowing that they are naturally egocentric at this age. what learning theory is being applied?
cognitive
who is an important founder of constructivist learning theory?
vygostki
this learning theory places a high value on critical reflection, and learners must put together what is being presented and work it into their existing knowledge framework
constructivist
at clinical, I sometimes learn things that enhance what I have already learned in class, OR i learn things that may contradict what I have learned in class. This is an example of which learning theory being applied?
constructivism
what is the role of the teacher in constructivism
facilitatory
this learning theory focuses on helping students achieve their own personal potential, rather than focusing on specific learning objectives
humanism
teachers are facilitators and coaches who recognize unique needs of each student
humanism
when teaching a patient who is well-read on their health condition which they have had for 10 years, how would I incorporate concepts of cognitive learning?
build on what is already understood. do not start from the bottom as they may feel infantalized or annoyed. assess where their knowledge is at and connect to that.

self-direction
Role of learner: to put together and explore what is being presented
constructivist learning theory
role of teacher: to model and encourage students to learn from each other
social learning
role of learner: to demonstrate independance, self-regulate, and contribute to the learning process
social learning
use skills lab to create an example of motor learning, performance, and attainment
motor learning is being taught and practicing the skill, motor performance is doing the skill correctly for demo, motor attainment is consistently performing the skill in clinical
what are the three stages of motor learning?
cognitive, associative and autonomous
what happens during the cognitive stage of motor learning?
developing understanding of the skill, simple instructions, breaking down into steps, “can you repeat what I just told you?”, no distractions
