Russell, (2009) stated students lack an understanding of what constitutes good quality scholarly information. Students difficulty evaluating the glut of information available, and to cope they frequently depend on quick but questionable sources, like Dictionary.com, which can result in a blind acceptance of advertising-based information, or sources that depend on a truth by consensus approach such as Wikipedia. (Russell, 2009). Instructors as well as a student need to critically think about whom they are acquiring the research from. Is the knowledge credible and reliable to the student who is utilizing it?
It is the schools responsibility to be able to provide good enough teachers, who can prepare these students. In order to have a good education, there must be qualified teachers there to teach and prepare students effectively. Bauerlein questions schools curriculums and the way they are presenting “complex texts” (Bauerlein) to the students; “The more high school teachers place complex texts on the syllabus and concoct slow, deliberate reading exercises for students to complete, the more they will inculcate the habit” (Bauerlein). Students learn what their teachers tell them they have to learn, without knowing the effects the teachings will have on them whether good or bad. That is why schools providing qualified teachers are so important
On a personal note, I prefer the Kolb reflective cycle as it is easier and more realistic, although when I have written reflective practice I have always used Gibbs. I do appreciate that reflective practice is essential in the nursing profession to ensure that you learn from your experiences, however it can be time consuming and repetitive when using a model such as Gibbs and can be quite off
Their training is related to evidence based research practice. They focus on health promotion to help prevent disease and illness. This knowledge enhances the student’s professional development, such as being case managers, quality assurance nurses, or unit directors. The education also allows the graduate to have a better understanding of the many socioeconomic issues and their effect on patients and healthcare (Johnston,
Basically when a nurse does assessment, he or she comes up with a diagnosis, this diagnosis helps the nurse to better treat the patient. Baccalaureate nurses have better academic standings to come up with the proper diagnosis, which in turn will help the patient get the right and proper treatment. Baccalaureate nurses are also good planners in patient care, after the assessment and diagnosis, the planning of the patient care takes place, since baccalaureate have a higher knowledge and skills the plan efficiently on how to carry patients which honestly overshadows the associate degree nurse’s ways of planning patient care. Implementation or rather execution of the work itself takes a vital role too, the Baccalaureate take a upper hand in the patient care since they have the right knowledge than the associate degree nurses .Finally, after all is said and done, evaluation of the whole processes of patient care is carried to determine if indeed the optimum goal of patient treatment was a achieved. Baccalaureate nurses due to their education and evidenced based approach on tackling patient’s issues, they do a better evaluation on patients than their counterpart, associate degree nurses.
The authors believe that case study teaching is becoming a favored method to teach STEM classes because it engages students with real life issues. A challenge teachers have in the classroom is sufficient time to cover the curriculum. The writers recommend using a flipped classroom concurrently with case study teaching. Students can cover the material independently at home and class time can be used for hands on learning using case studies. The writers list examples of case studies used in a general biology class and a list of websites that a can be used at home for the students.
The methodology of lecturing in higher education was very different from what I knew; the lecturer delivers the key points and it is left to me to engage in detailed research to make sense of what has been taught in class. Independent study is now vital; I was expected to take reasonable responsibility for my learning. Autonomy was not only important in other to keep up with my studies but I also realised that as a future healthcare practitioner I had to be personally responsible and accountable for safe and compassionate evidence-based practice (NMC- Professional value). Time management was another major challenge, fitting university work around my everyday life and looking after my young family, but I quickly converted this challenges to a strength as I found out organisation was crucial to succeeding. Financially, things were also challenging living off bursary but I intend to work during the
The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice. David Bartholomae, author of Inventing the University, is a professor who writes about the struggles that students face with transitioning into college level writing and learning to write with authority in academic discourse, all while maintaining a unique voice. I agree with Bartholomae’s views on the subject and his arguments are very valid because he speaks from the status and
Critique to Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Name of Student Institution of Affiliation Critique to Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Evidence-based Practice (EBP) is a study aimed at finding the effectiveness of the design-models put in place through the incorporation of information obtained from patients and clinicians (Levin, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, Barness & Vetter, 2011, p.22). EBP is important because it offers an insight into the effectiveness of the models put in place in the healthcare system, their effectiveness while at the same time reducing the costs. EBP can be thought of as a practice aimed at empowering the medical practitioners while at the same time ensuring that patients get the best health care at a reduced cost (Levin at al., 2011, p.21). EBP is a systematic research review whose impact will continue to benefit both the patients and nurses in the medical healthcare setting. According to Levin et al.
Currently, my high school is very structured, which is unlike most workplaces; therefore, given the chance to make one major change, I would reduce the structure. Making each class have projects would place more responsibility on students to complete the work on time and to seek the help they need. For example, an English project might help students to write and answer interview questions. Science class could create and experiment unit or research symposium where students identify a science-related problem, conduct an experiment track their results, and share their
