 concepts and domains.

Learning is self-controlled and self-directed.

 Learning is person-centered and problem-centered.

 The nature of learning activities remains stable over time.

 Learning is reinforced by application and prompt feedback.

Question 10 Three major components of instructional materials are:

delivery system, content and presentation

 accuracy, readability, level of abstractness

 hardware, software, level of skill of the instructor

 readability, symbolic representation, content

Question 11 Which strategy would be best to increase the effectiveness of a staff development lecture presentation on conflict resolution?

Increase the prerequisite reading.

 Present the lecture to small groups.

 Include a pretest and posttest.

 Add problem-solving activities

Question 12 Which statement is false regarding the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of learning?

Each domain is ordered in a taxonomic form of hierarchy from a series of simple to complex behaviors.

 The cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains are separate and unrelated, reflecting the development of skills, thinking, and feeling capabilities, respectively.

 The cognitive and psychomotor domains represent the degree of understanding and skill attainment while the affective domain represents the degree of internalization and commitment to a feeling.

 The learner must be successful at demonstrating behaviors at the lower levels of any domain before being able to achieve behaviors at the higher levels in that domain.

Question 13  What should be included in the performance characteristic of a well-written behavioral objective?

The testing situation or constraints under which the learner’s behavior will be observed

 With what accuracy, or to what extent, the learner will be able to carry out the behavior

 Who will do the learning, such as the patient, family member, or significant other

 What behavior the learner is expected to be able to do to demonstrate evidence of achievement

Question 14 The most important criterion in evaluating an instructional method is to determine whether the method:

facilitates the achievement of objectives.

 uses resources efficiently.

 promotes active learning.

 is enjoyed by learners.

Question 15 All of the following statements are true about learning styles except:

Leaning style theory assists the nurse educator to ensure that each individual learner is given an equal opportunity to learn.

 Nurse educators tend to prefer abstract and unstructured approaches to teaching.

 No single mode describes someone’s learning style, because each person is unique and comes with other factors that are equally important in learning.

 Preference for a particular style of learning tends to change very little over time.

Question 16 Assessment of the learner includes which three determinants?

motivation, knowledge gap, and developmental stage

 right brain function vs left brain function, knowledge readiness

 physical readiness, emotional readiness, experiential readiness

 learning needs, readiness to learn, learning styles

Question 17 What is the purpose of writing clear and concise behavioral objectives?

To specify what the teacher is expected to teach

 To specify what the learner is expected to be able to do

 To keep the learner motivated

 To allow the learner to achieve many possible outcomes

Question 18 Which guideline should the educator follow when selecting instructional materials?

The goal for learning should be set before materials are selected.

 The choice of materials should give direction in the establishment of objectives for learning.

 The selection of appropriate materials should assist the educator in determining the domains of learning on which to focus instruction.

 The audiovisual tools available should guide the educator’s decision making regarding the content for instruction.

Question 19 What is the purpose of the pretest in self-instructional activities?

To focus the learner on the intent of the activity

 To review the prerequisite skills needed

 To identify current knowledge before proceeding

 To help the learner treat the activity seriously

Question 20 How does anxiety affect emotional readiness to learn?

As the level of anxiety increases, emotional readiness begins to decrease.

 The optimal time for learning is when a person experiences a high level of anxiety.

 A person is most ready to learn when his or her anxiety is on either end of the continuum, either mild or severe.

 Moderate anxiety interferes with a person’s readiness to learn.
