Teaching Strategies in Nursing Education

Module 1
Discussion

Identify a behavior in the healthcare setting that you would
like to change that involves extinguishing an undesirable behavior and
replacing it with a healthier behavior (e.g., getting cardiac patients to
reduce their high-fat diet and eat healthier foods; getting patients with low
back pain to minimize their pain and become more independent in their
activities). Describe how the behavior could be changed using the principles of
a particular learning theory. Then describe how the same behavior could be
changed using a different theory. Depending on the behavior to be changed and
replaced, you might also discuss why one plan might work better for men than
women, or for younger people than older people.

Module 2
Discussion

Conduct a literature search about one of the teaching
strategies that is purported to enhance critical thinking (e.g.
concept-mapping, problem-based learning, reflective journaling). Provide a
summary of the evidence-based research, and suggest the application of this
method in a nursing education scenario.

Module 3
Discussion

Gather a list of objectives from a recent healthcare conference
brochure (usually can be located online—examples: PriMed, Contemporary Forums,
etc). Examine the objectives that the learners are to accomplish after
attending the program. Determine if the objectives are well written (based on
the guidelines for writing good behavioral objectives) as well as appropriate
and complete based on the content of the conference. If the objectives are
unsatisfactory, suggest alternative wording.

Module 4
Discussion

Select several media examples of teaching content on a
single topic. Evaluate each of these examples and consider the effectiveness of
the different media in dealing with the topic. Offer suggestions regarding the
appropriateness of these media for different learner populations depending on
size, age, cultural diversity, and educational background of the audience, as
well as on the setting in which information is delivered.

Module 8
Discussion

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Defend your position.

“ …although an evaluation is conducted at the end of your
program, that is a bad time to plan it. Evaluation as an afterthought is, at
best, a poor idea, and, at worst, a dangerous one.”

Critical Thinking Exercises:

How can the learning theories be used in combination to
change behavior and enhance learning?

You are a staff nurse preceptor, and you find that the nurse
orientee you are working with has difficulty understanding the idea of
titrating drug dosages on the basis of physiologic data. A weakness in which
type(s) of learning might be underlying this problem? In addressing this
orientee’s difficulty, what other information would you collect?

You are preparing to counsel a nursing students who is
failing a nursing course: How would your approach differ if you base your
counseling on Self-Efficacy Theory versus Attribution Theory?

If you are a clinical preceptor in a health care agency, how
could Social Cognitive Theory assist you in teaching your preceptee?

Professional Development:

List and briefly describe the ways that each of the major
learning theories—behaviorist, cognitive, social learning, psychodynamic, and
humanist—can be used to increase a behavior. Then, list and briefly describe

learning in nursing education (either to patients, staff, or students).

Consider Chickering and Gamson’s (1987) principle of
“emphasizing time on task (found in DeYoung, p. 9). Does this principle
apply to both classroom and clinical learning? If so, how may it differ in each
setting?

Observe a clinical nurse educator or preceptor. What
strategies do they use that enhance student learning? What do they do that
obstructs student learning?

Describe a situation in which an educator used a creative or
innovative approach to promote understanding of an idea or concept.

Professional Development:

Consider an innovation that was recently implemented in a
health care or academic setting that you are familiar with. Using the

Assignment:

Critical Thinking Exercises:

Review the section on commercially prepared teaching
materials. Take a stand on the issue of using free patient education materials
provided by drug or formula manufacturers. Defend your position.

Conduct a literature search on one method of traditional
teaching strategies. Summarize the findings of two different (opposing)
scholarly articles.

Why is it that instructional materials should not be
selected before behavioral objectives are determined?

Case Study: Mr. D.W., 84 years old, suffers from high blood
pressure, atherosclerosis, and beginning glaucoma. He falls at a church
function and is taken by ambulance to the emergency room. Unfortunately, his
daughter, who usually accompanies him to his primary care clinic, is working.
He refuses to have the staff “bother her at the job.” Mr. W. cannot
tell the emergency room nurse what medications he is taking. He states that he
takes a blue pill for his “high blood” in the morning, and two pink
pills at dinner. He also says that he puts drops in his eyes every day. He nods
his head when the emergency room staff tell him that his X-rays show no signs
of a fracture, that he should consult his physician if a hematoma develops,
elevate his left foot which is wrapped in an ace bandage, and apply ice packs
for twenty four hours. He signs the discharge form and receives printed
instructions for care of a sprained ankle. An elderly friend who has followed
the ambulance from church and stayed in the waiting room helps him into her car
and drives him home. Use Table 11-11 (Bastable, p. 498) to answer the following
questions:

a. What traditional method of instruction (first five
methods) would you choose for your patient, and why?

b. Which non-traditional method (second five methods) would
you choose for your patient, and why?

Professional Development:

Prepare a 10-minute lecture on a topic that is of interest
to you. Describe the audience and the setting, and the relative
advantages/limitations of the lecture as a format for learning in this
situation. List the learning objectives, and describe the supplementary
materials that will be used (i.e. handouts, audiovisuals) and provide the
rationale for your selection of the supplementary materials. Submit a lecture
outline, and describe how you would evaluate if the learning objectives were
met.

For a relatively simple psychomotor skill, use the mental
practice process to analyze the skill and separate it into sequential steps.
Write out the full instructions that the learner would need to follow to
successfully complete the task.

Develop a case study that would be appropriate for
undergraduate nursing students. Follow the steps listed in DeYoung (p.
148-151), using the example on p. 151 as a model.

Describe a clinical situation that could reasonably be
translated into a simulation. Which type of simulation would be most
appropriate? What psychomotor and cognitive skills would you hope that they
would achieve? How would you envision your role as the educator? What would you
include in the debriefing?

Construct a statement or scenario that could be used as the
basis for a debate in an undergraduate nursing ETHICS course.

Professional Development:

Create a game to help learners review the instructional
methods discussed in this module. Some suggestions might be formats similar to
“Jeopardy,” “Trivial Pursuit,” a word search, or a
crossword puzzle.

Visit a health-related website. Evaluate it using the
criteria on Table 13-3 (p. 573, Bastable).

Consider the 10-minute lecture that you developed in the
previous module. How would you revise this if delivering the content via
distance methods? How would you promote student interaction. Would the
evaluation methods differ?

Describe how the Information Age has influenced education in
general, healthcare education specifically, and health care consumers.

Conduct a literature search and locate a scholarly article
about a nursing intervention that was delivered via “telehealth.”
Summarize the findings, and offer suggestions for how this research could be
applicable to other patients with different disease conditions.

Professional Development:

Consider that you are a healthcare consumer newly diagnosed
with a serious health problem (select a health concern of interest to you).
Assume that you know very little about the condition. Conduct a Web search for
information, answering the following questions:

a) Were you able to find the information you needed? If not,
what was missing?

b) What conflicting information did you find?

c) Did you find any information that was upsetting or
distressing?

d) Were you able to find on-line support groups or other
interactive resources?

e) Having found this information, what kinds of questions or
expectations would you have for the nurse at your next visit?

activity that members of this population either should practice or are required
to practice to maintain health. For example, you might identify adults with
insulin-dependent diabetes who must self-inject insulin on at least a daily
basis.

B. Identify an educational intervention that you would
provide to members of this population to teach them this healthcare activity.

C. Conduct a literature search to identify existing
instruments that would be appropriate for use to evaluate effectiveness of your
teaching in the situation you have described in A. and B. above.

D. Critique each instrument you have identified (or three of
these instruments if you have identified a large number) for evidence of
reliability, validity, appropriateness with your identified population, and
feasibility of use in your setting.
