Study Notes
Education Process
- A planned action consisting of teaching and learning
- It is systematic, sequential, logical, scientifically based
Education
- An interactive process of sharing knowledge
- The goal is to achieve a positive judgement, well-developed wisdom, and behavior
Teaching (Instruction)
- Sharing of information and experience to meet intended learner outcomes
- Includes cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains
- It is guided by an educational plan
- Formal or informal
Health Education
- The act of providing information and learning experiences
- Goal: behavior change for the betterment of the client's health
Patient Education (Patient Teaching)
- Assisting people to learn health-related behaviors
- Goal: optimal health and independence in self-care
- A basic function of nursing and a legal and moral requirement
Staff Education
- Influencing the behavior of nurses
- Goal: changes in knowledge, attitude, and skills
- Helps nurses maintain and improve competence for the delivery of patient care
ASSURE Model
- Analyze the learner
- State the objectives
- Select the instructional methods and materials
- Use the instructional methods and materials
- Require learner performance
- Evaluate the teaching plan and revise as necessary
Comparison: Nursing Process vs. Education Process
-
Nursing Process
- Assessment: Physical/Psychosocial
- Planning: Develop care plan
- Implementation: Carry out nursing interventions
- Evaluation: Outcome
-
Education Process
- Assessment: Learning needs, readiness, styles
- Planning: Teaching plan
- Implementation: Perform teaching
- Evaluation: Behavioral changes (SKA - Skills, Knowledge, and Attitude)
Concepts of Nursing Health Education
- Prepares students to play roles effectively as individuals and citizens
- Three phases:
- Pre-nursing: Spread information to prospective nursing candidates
- Nursing education: Educators focus on producing skilled nurses
- Post-Nursing: Licensure, Registration
Learning
- A relatively permanent change in mental processing, emotional functioning, and/or behavior
- Result of exposure to different experiences
- A change in behavior (KSA) can be observed or measured
- Occurs at any time and place as a result of exposure to environmental stimuli
Learning Theory
- A coherent framework of integrated constructs and principles that describe, explain, or predict how people learn.
Importance of Learning Theories
- Provides information and techniques to guide teaching and learning
- Can be employed individually or in combination
- Applicable in various settings, including personal growth and interpersonal relations
Behaviorist Learning Theory
- Focuses on observable behaviors
- Product of stimulus conditions (S) and Responses (R)
- Association Theory – focus on the relationship between stimulus (S) and response (R) - Stimulus Response Theory
- Emphasizes the role of reinforcement
Applications of Behaviorist Learning Theory
- Closely observe responses to a situation and then manipulate the environment
- To modify people’s attitude and responses:
- Alter the stimulus condition in the environment
- Change what happens after the response occurs
- Useful in nursing practice especially in the delivery of health care
- Used to break or unlearn bad habits
Respondent Conditioning
- Classical/Reflex/Pavlovian
- Association learning
- Ivan P. Pavlov (1849-1936) - Russian physiologist
- Conducted experiments on dogs
Respondent Conditioning Concepts
- Emphasizes the importance of stimulus conditions and associations formed in the learning process
- Neutral stimulus (NS): Has no particular value or meaning to the learner
- Unconditioned stimulus (UCS): Naturally occurring
- Unconditioned Response (UCR): Naturally elicited by an unconditioned stimulus
- Highlights the importance of the environment and culture in healthcare affecting patients, staff, and visitors.
Principles of Respondent Conditioning
- Systematic Desensitization: Used to reduce fear and anxiety
- Stimulus Generalization: The tendency of initial learning experiences to be easily applied to other stimuli
- Spontaneous Recovery: Needs to be considered in relapse prevention programs
- Stimulus Discrimination: Easily recognize specific stimuli
- Extinction: Knowledge disappears if not used
Operant Conditioning
- By B.F. Skinner (1989)
- Focuses on the behavior of the organism occurring after the response
- A reinforcer is a stimulus or event applied after a response
- Experiment on Skinner box
Operant Conditioning Principles
- To increase response:
- Positive Reinforcement: Reward conditioning - Negative Reinforcement: Removal of aversive stimulus
-
Types of Negative Reinforcement:
- Escape Conditioning: Individual responds in a way to cause the uncomfortable stimulation to cease.
- Avoidance Conditioning: Unpleasant stimulus is anticipated rather than directly applied.
-
To decrease/extinguish response:
- Non-reinforcement: An organism’s conditioned response is not followed by any reinforcement
- Punishment: Punish the behavior, not the person. Punishment must be consistent, reasonable, and not prolonged.
Thorndike’s Major Laws
- Law of Effect: Strengthens the connection between the stimulus and behavior, whereas annoying states weaken the connection. People repeat what has been satisfying and avoid what has been dissatisfying
- Law of Exercise: Repetition increases the probability of a correct response
- Law of Readiness: When a person is ready to respond or act, giving the response is satisfying
John B. Watson
- John B. Watson (1878-1958) - Graduated from psychology at the University of Chicago
- Trained on the skills of animal experiments
- Experiment about Baby Albert:
- "Mind could not be seen, it could be measured.”
- Influenced by Pavlov
John B. Watson’s View
- Surroundings are important in determining personalities.
- Behavior is shaped/learned rather than inherited.
- Behavior can be controlled.
- Reward for good behavior; punishment for bad deeds
- Child is a blank slate upon which anything can be written.
Conclusion: Behavioral Learning Theory
- All behaviors are learned and can be shaped through reinforcement and punishment.
-
Role of Faculty:
- Dominate the highly structured learning environment.
- Act as authority and dispense knowledge.
- Exercise control over learning experiences.
- Set a positive learning climate by responding to student success with positive reinforcements to shape behavior
Cognitive Learning Theory
- Perception, thought, memory, and ways of processing and structuring information.
- A highly active process directed by the person
- The learner perceives, interprets, and then reorganizes information into new insights.
- Rewards are not necessary; the learner’s goals and expectations are important
- Educators must recognize diverse experiences, perceptions, and ways of incorporating information
Cognitive Learning Theory Applications
- Consider diverse aspirations, expectations, and social inferences that affect learning situations.
- Metacognition: Understanding one’s own way of learning.
- To promote transfer of learning, the learner must mediate or act on the information in some way
Gestalt Perspective
- Configuration or patterned organization
- “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
- Each person perceives, interprets, and responds to any situation in their own way
- Important: What goes inside the learner
- Perception: Important in the learning process (W. Kohler)
Laws of Gestalt Psychology
- Law of Continuity
- Law of Closure
- Law of Proximity
- Law of Similarity
- Law of Pragnanz
Basic Principles of Gestalt Perspective
- Simplicity, Equilibrium, and Regularity: Consider patients who are listening to a complex, detailed explanation.
- Perception is selective: Only what is interesting is remembered.
Factors Influencing Perception
- Past experiences
- Needs
- Personal motives
- Attitudes
- Reference groups
- Situations
Information Processing Theory
- Explains how individuals perceive, process, store, and retrieve information from experiences.
- Determines how learning occurs and what is learned.
- Helpful in assessing problems in acquiring, remembering, and recalling information.
Information Processing Stages
- Stage 1: External: Orienting Stimuli
- Stage 2: Internal: Attention, Sensory Memory (Fleeting, less than 1 second)
- Stage 3: Internal: Processing, Encoding, Working Memory (Brief, less than 30 seconds)
-
Stage 4: Internal: Memory Storage:
- Short-term Memory: (Enduring, but retrieval problems)
- Long-term Memory: (Enduring, but retrieval problems)
- Stage 5: Response: Action
Information Processing Strategies
- Get in touch with a learner’s way of processing information and thinking.
- Break material down into chunks of information or use mnemonic devices.
Information Processing Strategies for Educators
- Learner will indicate how they believe they learn (metacognition)
- Ask learners to describe what they are thinking as they are learning.
- Evaluate learner’s mistakes.
- Give close attention to their inability to remember or demonstrate information.
Robert Gagne’s Learning Theory
- Behaviorist - Focus on the outcome of behavior
- Problem-based learning/Conditions learning
- Uses the information processing model
- Problem: Find out what students need to know to solve a problem.
