PSYCHOMOTOR SKILLS, COMPUTER TEACHING Flashcards
Manipulative skills that require the learner to perceive and coordinate sensory stimuli to complete purposeful movements
Psychomotor skills
Is done by the teacher to show the learner how to perform a particular skill.
demonstration
Is carried out by the learner in an attempt to perform a task with
cues from the teacher if needed
return demonstration
Advantages of return demonstration:
- allows development of psychomotor skills
- there is appreciation
- stimulates visual, auditory, and tactile senses
- gives opportunity to witness skills even in not natural setting
- repetition of movements increases confidence, competence, and skill retention
Limitations of return demonstrations:
- Size of audience must be kept small
- Time consuming
- Extra space is needed for practice
- Competency evaluation
requires 1:1 teacher-student ratio - Equipment can be expensive to purchase and replace
To give the student opportunities to bridge didactic information with the realities of nursing practice
Clinical instruction
is based on the instructor’s
decisions about what behaviors and ways of thinking are important
for nurses, and therefore, need to be reproduced in students
task mastery
the instructor serves as a mentor, guiding students in decision making and inculcation of hallmarks of professional practice
professional-identity mentoring
purposes of clinical learning experience:
- Apply theoretical concepts
- Experience actual patient situations
- See and implement professional roles
goals of clinical experience:
- learn the patient
- learn the content area
- learn roles
usually takes the form of peer teaching or student-to-student instruction. This strategy does not only meet clinical learning needs but promotes collegiality as well
reciprocal learning
The powerful influence of the clinical instructor as a person should not be overlooked. Development of an effective clinical instructor and the evolution of a meaningful, positive clinical learning experience are based on insight, planning, and implementation by the faculty member
faculty development
To provide a simulation of reality so that “the reality can be better understood, controlled, and practiced.
clinical laboratory sessions
advantages of computer teaching strategies:
- It allows a person to interact in the learning situation
- Time efficiency and cost effectiveness
disadvantages of computer teaching strategies:
- Limited to those who have enough computer skills
- Costly
