Module 3 Flashcards
Name of Visual Acuity Chart?
Snellen Chart
What does 20/100 mean on a Snellen Chart
What you see at 20 feet away, a normal person sees at 100 feet away
How many mistakes do you get on a row in the Snellen Test?
- 2 Mistakes
- 3 mistakes means you only read the line above
- you would write it as line -(mistake) (ex: 20/70 - 1)
Audiometer Steps
- Quiet room, no external noise and distractions, 45 degree angle away
- Practice Tone: 1000 Hz, 50 db in right ear
- Then 20 db in right ear at 1000,2000,4000 Hz
- Then 20 db 1000,2000,4000 Hz in left ear
- must hear all tones to pass
Education
A systematic, sequential, scientifically based course of action involving two interdependent operations (teaching and learning)
Teaching
Sharing information and experiences while incorporating interpersonal skills and problem solving skills to support change in the behavior of the learner
Learning
A change in behavior that can be observed or measured as a result of exposure to stimuli from teaching (knowledge, skills, and attitudes acquired)
How do we know what our learners REALLY know?
The best way is to look at their behavioral changes
Learning Theories/Theory
-A framework of how we provide health education for our patients at the individual, group, and community level
-It will help describe, explain, or predict how people learn
-Since we measure learning by a change in behavior, these theories provide fundamental procedures for changing behavior
We cannot directly measure ____
learning
What determines which theory of learning you choose to use?
you, your philosophy, your learner, and what you are teaching
4 Important Learning Theories
- Behaviorist LT
- Cognitive LT
- Social LT
- Humanistic LT
Behaviorist Learning Theory
-Stimulus-response model of learning (behavior is externally motivated; behavior is either rewarded or punished)
-Modification of the learner comes from changing the reward/punishment after the learner’s response
-learner is considered passive
-B.F. Skinner
Learning in Behaviorist Learning Theory is …
Passive
In behaviorist theory, altering the stimulus can ..
modify the learner’s attitudes and responses
Cognitive Learning Theory
- Emphasizes changing the individual’s cognition (thoughts, perception, memory, and processing/structuring of information)
-New information is based on what is known and then the information is reorganized into new insights and understanding
-reward is not necessary and past cognition influences us into having concept scaffolding
-Piaget
Learning in Cognitive Learning Theory is …
Active (learner directs and is actively engaged in the process)
Concept Scaffolding
past experiences, perceptions, ways of incorporating and thinking about information, expectations and social influences affect learning and building of concepts in cognitive learning theory
Social Learning Theory
- Perspective of learning where behavior, the personal characteristics of the learner, and the environment, as well as social factors, influence the context of learning
-Learner is CENTRAL (perception and interpretation influences the response)
-Role modeling is how the learner learns
-Bandura
Example Process of Social Learning Theory
(external) role model behavior –> (internal) learner observes role model –> (internal) learner processes and represents behavior in memory –> (internal) memory guides performance of models action –> (external) performance (or not) of behavior influences by (internal) factors of consequences of doing the behavior and covert cognitive activity
