1.3. Explain how standards inform reflective practice in adult social care? Standards i.e. the code of practise explain the way that we should be working, you can use them to think about the way you work and compare them to your own work and decide if you need to make any improvements. They enable us to gain professional development and provide a way to identify good practices.
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
Learners will examine the principal psychological perspectives and then apply them to the health and social care sectors to gain understanding of the potential value of psychology in these sectors. On completion of this unit learners will have considered the psychological approach to studying health and social care. The unit encourages reflection, and will be valuable to those learners intending to work with people in a caring capacity. It will also be useful to learners who intend to progress to study at a higher level. The psychological approach is embedded in several other units in the programme and is extended, in particular, in Unit 29: Applied Psychological Perspectives for Health and Social Care, and Unit 30: Health Psychology.
In the design stage, lesson plans are created to provide directions for learners to apply their knowledge and skills. The design phase would be specific to the content at hand by documenting the projects visual, technical and instructional strategies. There would be order so the project goals could be met in an organized fashion. It is important that Bloom’s domains be utilized to fit all types of learners. Using Affective, Cognitive, and Psychomotor strategies, my training program be tailored to reach all audiences.
[CT257.5] Understand how issues of public concern may affect the image and delivery of services in the sector The public may affect the image and delivery of service as the public concern may be raised through media coverage on the tv and through press correspondents.

Bloom's Taxonomy and Nursing Education NUR/427 March 18, 2013 Effectively caring for and educating patients with chronic illnesses involves understanding the patient’s unique health situation and concerns. Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues developed Bloom’s Taxonomy a classification of learning objectives within education. Using Bloom’s Taxonomy as a framework to develop a lesson plan and measurable educational objectives will ensure that all facets of the patient’s health needs are addressed in the educational phase of nursing care. The taxonomy consists of three domains; cognitive, affective, and psychomotor that must be followed in a step-by-step process to ensure mastery of each domain. Bloom’s Taxonomy According to Merriam-Webster, taxonomy refers to the classifications of general principles (Merriam-Webster, 2013).
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.
Hand washing and infection prevention is one of the most under stressed areas of healthcare. It is the job of Team A to guide and direct the learning and behavioral changes needed to be successful as a healthcare worker. As nurse educators we realize the basic understanding of critical thinking lies within the Socratic Method, this is the strategy we will use to present the information on infection prevention. According to DeYoung (2009) “In this method, all thoughts are treated as if they are in need of further development and refinement, regardless of how reflective they may be” (p. 226). Our purpose is for the students to have clarity about our topic and as instructors we will hold them accountable for the information presented.
Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Sonya Y. Berry Gen/200 July 5, 2011 Mary Evelyn Barnes Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper Multiple Pathways to Learning Assessment and Personality Spectrum Assessment were found to be very informative with identifying learning styles and a diversity of personality types. It can be assumed that these assessment tools will enable a person to maximize their strengths and compensate for his or her weaknesses. Individuals, who completed these assessments, are introduced to specific learning styles. Styles differ among learners based on their level of concentration and how they process and internalize information. Making individuals aware of their learning differences
The revised version of Bloom’s Taxonomy is two-dimensional and allows for the once strict cumulative hierarchy to overlap in categories. The complexity level is reduced in order to simplify and communicate to educators and learners of the expected outcomes from learning. Bloom’s Taxonomy had a major contribution to education as far as educators’ perspective in instruction. According to Pickard (2007), “The intersection of the cognitive process dimensions and the knowledge dimensions can facilitate instructional planning and assessment.” (p.50) The Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy allows for educators to clarify what the expected
