Bloom's Taxonomy Research Michael A. Peto NUR/427 July 8, 2013 Amy Prichard Bloom's Taxonomy Research Paper Our primary goal as nurses is good patient outcomes; this can be achieved by obtaining good skills and knowledge. Bloom’s taxonomy, introduced in 1956 and revised in 2001, is a method of classification in which educators can identify with students. As a student acquires more knowledge and skill, he or she moves along the continuum to higher levels of learning and understanding. There are three domains of classification cognitive, affective, and psychomotor, each contain five to six subclasses. The cognitive domain or the knowledge base domain has six subclasses starting with remembering.
Applying Bloom's Taxonomy to Managing Patients with a Chronic Disease Benjamin Bloom was an educational psychologist who, in 1956, headed a committee to develop a hierarchal frame of education in which lower-level knowledge must be mastered prior to obtaining higher level knowledge. The committee “identified three domains of educational activities: cognitive – mental skills (knowledge), affective – growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude), psychomotor – manual or physical skills (skills)” (Clark, 2010). In nursing this theory can be applied to managing patients with chronic diseases, those generally lasting throughout the lifespan of the patient, to strengthen the patient’s level of self-efficacy. In the cognitive domain primary teaching and learning is taking place. Because of increasingly shortened hospital stays the inpatient population may only be able to attain the basic knowledge level within this domain prior to discharge.
I seek her permission and consent to teach her about medication administration procedure. The consent attached in (appendix 1). Identifying Learning Needs ,Planning and Managing Student Experience. In the learning process the important things to do identifying my leaner needs. Vision for learning and teaching enhance the quality of student in learning experience by providing a support and well-resourced learning environment.
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
A discussion of why you think an understanding of learning styles is useful to the student nurse. Introduction This essay discusses the imports of understanding learning style to student nurse, how to improve on a weak learning style and a discussion of the authors learning style. Academic success is attained through well structured/planned teaching method whereby student’s learning styles are not infringed by educators, and learning materials are presented in such ways that suit student’s individual preferences. When students understand their learning style, teaching and learning becomes an exchange of action, whereby the teacher passes knowledge as expected while the student absorb and utilizes the knowledge using their individual’s learning approach. In this sense, academic success and performance will benefit and promote the students, the teachers/educators, and also the educational system.
According to Graff and Hansman, "Curriculum designers need to work collaboratively across the disciplines, so that the health education fields ensure proper training of future health care educators who are equipped to meet the ever-changing needs of the adult learner"(1999). This paper will briefly give a insight of a interview with a health care educator from a higher learning facility, their role responsibilities, settings in which they conduct their education, along with the actual description of the position they hold. It will also encompass the requirements needed to fulfill their roles and responsibilities. Role and Setting of The Educator Nurse educators are a significant ensemble with the responsibility of assuring quality instructive experiences that systematize the nursing personnel for a assorted, ever-changing health care setting. Nurse educators are located in a variety of settings, from the hospital, outpatient
The risk factors associated with illnesses in the third trimester. The LVN is able to formulate a teaching plan based on the needs of the patient and evaluate the effectiveness of the plan. She would assess the patients understanding of the information given by asking her to repeat back to her the medication directions. If applicable, the nurse would also give Ms. R written directions detailing the instruction in terms the patient can understand. A “follow up” call would ensure the pt compliance as well as any additional questions or concerns she may have.
Reflection as a learning tool allows me to identify the positive and negative aspects of my practice and to draw upon previous experiences and apply them to new situations “Reflective practice has, however, the potential to help practitioners in all fields unlock the tacit knowledge and understanding that they have of their practice and use this to generate knowledge for future practice”. (Schutz, 2007 pg.26) The clinical competency I have chosen in this report is Phlebotomy. As part of my role as a health care support worker within a District Nursing team Phlebotomy is one of my primary duties. The clinical skill I have chosen to reflect upon within this account is venepuncture. Confidentiality has been maintained throughout within this assignment and all names and locations are changed in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council code of conduct (2008, Section: Confidentiality) and for this purpose I have chosen to name the patient as Mrs Jones.
A Comparison of the Professional Roles of Nurses In this paper, the nurse’s unique role in providing inter-professional care, patient care quality and safety, cost effective healthcare, and care to diverse patient populations will be investigated. A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), J.W. and a Nurse Educator, M.,H., were interviewed, their roles as nurses were analyzed using provided protocol to discuss the difference between research and quality improvement, also how informatics affect the quality of patient care. The two specialties based on the individual interviews will be compared and a copy of both interviews will be incorporated into the paper. Lastly, a reflection of findings will be discussed as to how nurses could contribute the information from the two interviews into their own professional growth and development.
Nurses and doctors need to involve the patients and family members in their care from day one. Providing complete education to the patients on their diagnosis and treatment with a guarantee of patient and family understanding will help to keep the family more involved after the patient is discharged. Support from family will aide in the compliance of the patient with their medication treatment. Besides family support there are many resources available that patients can utilize. Instruments that can aide as resources for medication compliance included, but are not limited to, “written or verbal instructions on medication use, increased communication from automated telephone calls to family intervention, dosage reminders printed on drug packaging and increased convenience of care such as job-site pharmacies” ( Compliance; efforts to improve medication use fall flat, 2003).
