Study Notes

Teaching and Learning

Teaching: a system of activities designed to produce learning
Learning: a change in behavior where the learner can apply or demonstrate what they've learned
Teaching and learning are interconnected and parallel the nursing process
Learning outcomes should be measurable and mutually agreed upon

Nursing Curriculum Framework

Core values: caring, patient-centeredness, safety, quality
Individual/family/community care needs are crucial in nursing education.
Professional behavior and personal development are key parts of professional development.
Knowledge of communication, critical thinking, evidence, and informatics are skills required in teaching and learning activities

Learning Outcomes

Course outcome: Utilize teaching and learning principles to identify clients' educational needs
Unit outcomes:
- Discuss the importance of the nurse's teaching role
- Identify factors facilitating and inhibiting learning
- Compare the three domains of learning, cognitive, affective, psychomotor
- Provide appropriate client teaching, considering developmental stage, age, culture, and health literacy.

Definitions of Teaching and Learning

Teaching: a system of activities created to generate learning
Learning: a change in human capabilities that lasts and is not solely due to growth

Nurses as Teachers and Learners

Institutes of Medicine targets nurses to advance healthcare.
American Nurses' Association standards of practice identify teaching as a critical role for RNs.
RNs must continually increase knowledge and improve skills related to current practice and evidence-based care.
State boards of nursing often outline CE requirements

Why Nurses Teach Clients

Teaching helps clients, thereby indirectly improving healthcare functioning.
Teaching is an independent nursing function.
Legal and professional responsibilities of nursing guide teaching activities.

Communication
Culture and diversity
Development
Health, wellness, illness, injury
Nutrition
Safety

The Teaching Process Parallels the Nursing Process

Assessment: Evaluate the learner's readiness to learn, their literacy level, and their cognitive developmental stage.
Diagnosis: Identify learning deficits, and ineffective self-care or maintenance.
Planning: Develop a teaching plan based on mutually arrived outcomes and incorporate best practices.
Implementation: Implement the teaching plan.
Evaluation: Evaluate whether behavioral changes (outcomes) occurred.

Assessment

Key areas to assess:
- Domain of learning (cognitive, affective, psychomotor)
- Readiness to learn
- Age/developmental stage
- Literacy level

Domains of Learning

Cognitive domain: Knowing/remembering, comprehending/explaining, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating
Affective domain: Feelings, emotions, interests, attitudes, appreciations (values)
Psychomotor domain: Hands-on or doing activities, motor skills (fine and gross)

Name that Domain

Examples of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning domains in practical scenarios are provided.

Factors Affecting Learning

Motivation
Readiness
Active involvement
Relevance
Nonjudgmental support
Repetition
Timing
Environment

Factors Inhibiting Learning

Emotions
Physiological events
Cultural aspects
Psychomotor ability
Cognitive impairments

Planning

Establish realistic, measurable, and mutually agreed-upon learning outcomes
Create a teaching plan (formal or informal) based on best practices

Writing Learning Outcomes

Define who (e.g., patient, family), what (action verb), and when (specific time frame)

Avoiding Verbs in Learning Outcomes

Avoid vague verbs like "knows," "understands," "believes," "appreciates."

Spotting Outcome Mistakes

Examples of learning outcomes, emphasizing the need for clear, measurable action verbs.

Education Best Practices

Present information in an organized manner from simple to complex
Clearly show how the information is relevant to the learning objective
Provide positive feedback for learners
Avoid judgment, and positively reinforce learning.
Encourage active learner participation
Allow for repetition and concepts retention
Design the environment to optimise learning

Transcultural Teaching

Provide translation services and materials as needed
Write information clearly and directly.
Use caution with humour. Do not assume eye contact, smiles or nods indicate agreement.
Use same-sex members when discussing sensitive content.
Be culturally sensitive when interacting with the families.
Recognize cultural variations in time, adherence or information sharing

Health Fair Guidelines

Posters and pamphlets should be engaging, simple, and visually appealing.
Use graphs and images to illustrate key points effectively.

Evaluation

Evaluate learning by measuring increased knowledge or change in behavior.
Measureable outcomes make the evaluation process easier.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching methodology.
