Theory and Principles of Nursing Education Employee Commitment

Question: 1. Why is it important to identify, differentiate, and utilize the various goals of learning?. 5 2. Analyze the three domains of learning concerning your selected practicum cohort and concept. Describe how you plan to utilize various teaching methods that align with the domains to meet the learning goals.? Answer: Domains of Learning Grid Characteristics Cognitive Domain Affective Domain Psychomotor domain Method The nurse uses the cognitive abilities of the patients when information is provided to the patients about the adverse reactions, medication regimen, and the disease process. The nurse can use pamphlets, books, computer, and films to teach the patient and act as a resource person to the patient. In this domain of teaching, the teacher used a preprinted teaching outline and used the document to teach the learners. These preprinted checklists are useful to teach the patients or the learners about a drug and therapeutic treatment. In this domain of learning, the nurses or the teacher uses a systematical order to teach the learner physical skills (handling injection) or performing tasks (dressing changes). Learner Role Learner needs to listen and follow the instructions given by the nurse. Learner can take all the time he or she needs to understand the lesson given by the teacher or nurse. Learner needs to listen and follow the instructions given by the nurse or teacher. Learners can discuss with the group members about the learning subject and analyze the lesson. Handle equipment carefully. Follow the instructions of the teacher or the nurse. Teacher Role The teacher should have full control on the content while giving the lecture. The teacher should determine feedback. The teacher should encourage the learners. Teacher or nurse should act as the resource. The nurse needs to approach to the patient with respect as well as encourage them to express their thoughts and feelings. Encourage the learners to participate more in the learning session. The teacher should provide proper instruction and demonstration to the patient or the learner. The learner should handle instruments in the supervision of the nurse or the teacher. Advantages The learner can go through the content easily. The teacher can follow a particular document to teach the patients. The patient or the learner has direct opportunity to learn the physical skills. Limitations If a learner is mentally or physically not fit (blind or deaf) then he or she cannot be taught using cognitive domain. If the learner does not possess any bookish interest lecture, then it becomes difficult for the teachers to help the learners. If a patient or learner is physically not compatible to handle the instruments, then this teaching method is not helpful to teach the learners. 1. Why is it important to identify, differentiate, and utilize the various goals of learning? It is the duty of a nurse to teach the patients about the detailed use of drugs, which were prescribed to them by the pharmacist (Bergmann et al. 2011). However, it is observed that most of the patients or their family members/care givers failed to learn about the therapeutic regimen and handling the injection or dressing a wound due to the wrong teaching procedure followed by the teacher or nurses (Salminen et al. 2010). Therefore, it is important for the nurses to have a profound knowledge about the three learning domains, which are cognitive, psychomotor and affective. To teach the patients about their present condition and handling of drugs and injections, the nurse needs to evaluate the current situation. Based on their evaluation they need to select a proper learning domain to teach the patient (Hossein et al. 2010). Therefore, it is important to have profound knowledge about the three previously mention learning domains and need to know the basic differences between those doma ins so that they can apply these learning domains properly on the patients. 2. Analyze the three domains of learning concerning your selected practicum cohort and concept. Describe how you plan to utilize various teaching methods that align with the domains to meet the learning goals. There are three learning domains, such as affective, cognitive and psychomotor. All three domains are necessary for the development of leadership in the nursing field, which is the topic of the practicum. Leadership development in the nursing field is very important since the delivery of the quality work depends mostly on the leadership. The leaders in the nursing field are supposed to help the fellow nurses to enhance their quality of work and extract the best work from them (Oermann Gaberson, 2013). However, it is found that caring of patients is not the only duty the nurses have to perform. It is observed that one of the main duties of the nurses is to teach the patients and their families or their caregivers about the use or doses of medicine or how to change the dressing of the wound or handling an injection when the situation demands (Cheng et al. 2010). The leader nurses are supposed to guide the fellow nurses about how to teach the patients or the patients families. They nee d to teach them about all of the three major learning domains and their practical implementation in the nursing field. At first, the nurses need to evaluate the position or the current condition of the patient and their family. Then, based on their evaluation, the nurses need to select the best type of learning domain and apply that method to teach the learners or the patients (Brown, 2011). It is observed that most of the nurses faced troubles while evaluating the mental stages of the patients or the patients family. In this context, it is the responsibility of a leader nurse to help out the fellow nurses regarding how to evaluate the current situation of the patient and select the best method to teach them. The sufficient knowledge about the therapeutic effect of a drug, use of its correct dose as well as some physical techniques, which are helpful to take care of the patient after discharging from the hospital. On the other hand, the cognitive domain could be used by the leaders to help the fellow nurses to go through the content easily (Miller, 2010). They can also use an affective domain, which will be helpful to provide a particular set of guidelines to the nurses, which they can follow to learn their profession in a better way (McVicar et al. 2010). In the psychomotor domain, leaders can directly engage the nurses to learn practical skills to handle patients under their guidance. This approach is certainly helpful in the development of leadership in the field of nursing. References Bergmann, T. J., Lester, S. W., De Meuse, K. P., Grahn, J. L. (2011).
