- Involve members of the healthcare team
- Prioritize needs
- Determine availability of educational resources
- Assess demands of the organization
- Take time-management issues into account
Prioritization Criteria
- Mandatory: Needs that are life-dependent or threaten the learner's life or safety
- Desirable: Needs related to well-being or overall ability, but not life-dependent
- Possible: Needs that are "nice to know," but not essential or required
Nursing Process vs Education Process
- Nursing process:
- Appraise physical and psychosocial needs
- Develop care plan based on mutual goal setting
- Carry out nursing care interventions
- Determine physical and psychosocial outcomes
- Education process:
- Ascertain learning needs, readiness to learn, and learning styles
- Develop teaching plan based on mutually predetermined behavioral outcomes
- Perform the act of teaching using specific instructional methods and tools
- Determine behavior changes in knowledge, attitudes, and skills
ASSURE Model
- A - Analyze learner
- S - State objectives
- S - Select instructional materials
- U - Use teaching materials
- R - Require learner performance
- E - Evaluate/revise teaching and learning
Determinants of Learning
-
- Learning Needs (WHAT the learner needs to learn)
-
- Readiness to learn (WHEN the learner is receptive to learning)
-
- Learning style (HOW the learner best learns)
Learning Needs
- Defined as gaps in knowledge between desired and actual levels of performance
- Purpose of assessing learning needs:
- Discover what needs to be taught
