Teaching & Learning Final Flashcards
What types of teaching & learning techniques are the most preferred by the active, visual learner?
Discussion, Applying, Explaining, Doing; Looking at pics, diagrams, & charts
What types of teaching & learning techniques are the most preferred by the reflective learner?
Thinking about it & likes working alone
You are helping a patient learn to use a sock aid. He has had difficulty remembering the technique. Today he successfully uses the device four out of five times. You praise him for remembering and performing that important skill. In praising him, which theory of learning are you are employing?
Behaviorism
You provided an in-service on therapeutic exercise to a “lay audience”. In so doing you learned within the context of actively doing a presentation and subsequently thinking about it. This experience is most consistent with which learning theory?
Gestalt Problem Solving (Dewey)
Differentiate reflection-in-action from reflection-on-action
Reflection-In-Action-Simultaneously doing the task & reflecting on it while observing, questioning, assessing, & adjusting Reflection-On-Action-Assessing after the fact
First you learned to name the shoulder muscles, then to locate them on a model, then to describe their action, then to differentiate the action of the supraspinatus and the deltoid muscles. Then you designed an appropriate exercise program on paper. Which domain of learning does this best represent?
Cognitive Domain
Learning to position a patient to facilitate treatment and comfort, and learning to perform pulsed ultrasound are examples of which domain of learning?
Psychomotor
What are the key concepts inherent to andragogy?
Andragogy-Adult learning; Learner centered; In charge of your own learning -Need to know the details of their learning experience -Bring their own past experiences -Might not always be able to ID a problem
After hearing a lecture about therapeutic ultrasound, its parameters, indications, and contraindications, the class moved into the lab room where the ultrasound machines were set up in order to practice. Several students immediately turned the ultrasound units on and began practicing the skill of applying therapeutic ultrasound to a classmate. According to the Index of Learning Styles, these students are most likely what type of learners?
Active
After hearing a lecture about therapeutic ultrasound, its parameters, indications, and contraindications, the class moved into the lab room where the ultrasound machines were set up in order to practice. After several minutes, the students who had originally sat back and watched their classmates practice the application of ultrasound began to become more involved in the lab activity. According to Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory, these students are most likely what type of learners?
Divergers
According to Donald Schon’s work, we are required to function in clinical practice on two levels: 1. attending to the interaction with our patient and 2. continually questioning, observing and assessing our thoughts and actions during the session. What type of reflection is this called?
Reflection-In-Action
What are some of the characteristics of a good student in a clinical practice setting?
Reflect, Self-Assess, Set Goals, Communicate, Acculturate, & Manage CI expectations
You are a CI who is orienting your new SPT to your clinical setting. After explaining the process for inputting an initial assessment into the electronic medical record, you ask him for feedback regarding what he learned. He says: “I think I’d understand it better if I had the chance to watch you input the information one time.” Which is his preferred learning style?
Diverger
Learning objectives that focus on the acceptance of values and beliefs fall into which domain of learning?
Affective
What are the standards for patient education that have been outlined by The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospital Organizations (JCAHO)?
Pt-Centered
- Grounded in educational principles
- Ongoing & systematic
- Individualized
- Interactive
Needs to include:
- Assessment of learning needs & barriers to learning
- Ed plan based on assessment
- Relevant info & skills
- Variety of educational tools & processes
- System for determining success of education
All syllabi in CAPTE-accredited physical therapy programs contain learning objectives for the course. How would you describe a learning objective for a course?
Learning Objective-ID specifically what the learner is expected to learn as a result of the teaching -Guide the learning experience, teaching experience, & methodology -Provide a framework for assessing success -Tells the learner exactly what’s expected of them
The supervisor in your PT clinic believes in treating everyone fairly. Therefore, she allows her staff to take time off on a “first-come, first-served” basis only. This method has resulted in most of her Christian staff needing to work on Easter, and her Muslim staff needing to work on Eid Al-Fitr. Since these holidays are considered sacred, it appears that this supervisor’s clinic meets Cross’s definition of what?
Cultural Blindness
At the end of this class, the student will discuss the importance of identifying and reinforcing the main points of a teaching experience.” Which component is missing from this learning objective?
Degree of Mastery
What are the characteristics of an individualistic culture?
Individualistic Culture-Place higher value on the individual than family or community
- Americans & Western Europeans
- Healthcare decisions are made by the pt themself–>Likely to have an advanced directive
A small group of experienced physical therapists are interested in an emerging intervention called “Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization.” An organized body of literature is also just emerging. The group meets for dinner once a month to discuss this intervention following independent reading from a list of references. In which type of learning process is this group engaged?
Analytic?
