This paper will describe the research conducted on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education and its use in Nursing Education, describe the application of the research conducted on Nursing Education as well as discussing the three domains outlined in Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education and how it applies to the management of patients with chronic diseases. There has been extensive research conducted on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education and its use in Nursing Education. Most students at the high school level are taught information and memorize the information for testing purposes (Concialdi, 2013). These students have to recall certain facts or pieces of information and not having to apply the information to reach a certain outcome or goal. In nursing, Bloom’s Taxonomy allows students to use knowledge taught to critically think.
Pierce NCREL, Oak Brook, 1990 New Learning and Thinking Curricula Require Collaboration In Guidebook 1, we explored a "new" vision of learning and suggested four characteristics of successful learners: They are knowledgeable, self-determined strategic, and empathetic thinkers. Research indicates successful learning also involves an interaction of the learner, the materials, the teacher, and the context. Applying this research, new guidelines in the major content areas stress thinking. Guidebook 2 describes these new guidelines and provides four characteristics of "a thinking curriculum" that cut across content areas. The chief characteristic of a thinking curriculum is the dual agenda of content and process for all students.
The following will explain how the medical professional can make use of Bloom's Taxonomy, in particular in the education of a post-surgical patient. Cognitive Domain The cognitive domain is the knowledge-based domain and consists of six levels. The revised levels are as follows: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create. Before one can continue to a higher level of learning, they must fully comprehend the previous level. When delivering education to the post-operative patient and his or her family, these steps can be followed.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) standards to support learning and development in practice state that students on NMC approved pre-registration nursing education programmes, leading to registration on the nurses’ part of the register, must be supported and assessed by mentors. (NMC 2008) They also state that other registered professionals who have been suitably prepared can supervise and contribute towards the assessment of nursing students, this builds on a previous argument by Dix and Hughes (2004) who state that all nurses are involved in facilitating learning as learning is a constant feature of the profession. Whilst I agree with Dix and Hughes (2004) in that I can teach and provide valuable learning experiences to
Piaget developed his theory in order to offer an explanation for children's cognitive learning styles and abilities. It explains how children obtain the mental structure necessary to perceive the world, and initiates the concept of developmental stages in which the child is able to comprehend its surroundings. This theory suggests that a person's ability to learn is affected by the situation in which the person is educated; as well as their personal viewpoints and thoughts. Piaget's theory of cognitive development "proposes that a child's intellect, or cognitive abilities, progresses through four distinct stages". Vygotsky's theories are constantly compared to that of Piaget's because they are both considered to be constructivists in the field of cognitive development.
The Impact of the Teach Back Method on Improving Patient Health Literacy Jamie Quirk Cleveland State University Abstract This paper will address the nursing problem of the impact of low health literacy on the quality and cost of healthcare. The purpose is to review studies in an attempt to determine whether or not the teach back method is an effective strategy to improve patient comprehension and to overcome barriers to health literacy. From the studies reviewed, the reader will find that the teach back method is an important and effective method to improve patient comprehension and is most effective when used regularly by all members of the health care team. This author's recommendation for best practice is to work to incorporate improving health literacy in her daily practice by using the teach back method with all patients and their families. It is a very effective tool to assess understanding.
Learning Style Inventory Paper Jennifer Lomibao Teaching and Learning Strategies-HSN540 Mary Dowell PhD, RN, BC March 26, 2012 Learning Style Inventory Paper Learning style refers to the unique way an individual prefers to learn. This reflects an individual’s predisposition to implement a particular learning strategy despite the specific demands of the class. It is worth noting that the learning styles are conventional modes used to process information by individuals. Because individuals have a unique way of perceiving, organizing, and retaining information, it is imperative that educators effectively design and implement teaching methods that enhance learning to these diverse learners (Billings & Halstead, 2009). Studies show that students perform better in the classroom when their learning styles match the instructional methods implemented by their teacher (Farooq & Regnier, 2011).
A Critical Analysis of application and development of a range of nursing skills M.Sc (Adult Nursing)Sept. 2011Cohort Module :Nursing Theory to Practice 19th Dec. 2011 Word Count: 5071 Contents Background...................................................................................... 2 Aims & Objectives............................................................................. 3 Blood Pressure.................................................................................. 3 Pressure Ulcer Prevention................................................................ 9 Hand Hygiene.................................................................................... 12 Conclusion........................................................................................ 15 References..........................................................................................16 Background : The phrase “theory of nursing” constitutes both the medical and nursing scientific knowledge and fundamental principles of care and treatment that are acquired by a nursing student, largely in a nursing school and on the job training (Benner et al, 2009). This theory and practice together constitutes the essential nursing skills (Docherty & McCallum, 2009). The term scientific knowledge is self explanatory and “draws on the basic sciences of biochemical, physical and biological processes and research and development of specific therapies and technologies” (Benner et al, 2009 pp1).This forms the basis of evidence- based knowledge. The incorporation of evidence- based approach into practice is important to improve patient outcomes (Penz & Bassendowski, 2006). Heater et al (1998) cited in Penz & Bassendowski (2006) reported significant improvements in clinical, behaviour and psychsocial outcomes when
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Education NUR/427 Bloom’s taxonomy or also known as the revised bloom taxonomy is a great teaching tool to use when teaching patients about their illness. It consists of three categories and then multiple sub-categories. Blooms taxonomy addresses not only the patient’s readiness to learn but it address the appropriate approach to each individual situation. It gives a systematic way of approaching a topic and the audience that will be learning. When this method is applied to nursing it is a great tool.
