Selecting an Evaluation Approach

At the close of every quarter, you and your fellow students are asked to complete an evaluation form on your courses. The questions are usually simple in format but require you to evaluate many factors that influenced your learning experience. From the quality of your Instructor to the workload and engagement of weekly assignments, you are asked to provide your honest opinion about your learning experience. As a student, you should take great care when answering these questions because they are used to adapt, refine, and improve the learning experiences offered to you and to future students. As a nurse educator, you should take great care in selecting the evaluation approach that best aligns with your curriculum and your setting. As there are many approaches to evaluation, collaborating with other educators within the parent institution or agency is also a must.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources to explore the diverse evaluation models nurse educators can use to evaluate the quality of their curriculum. Specifically focus on Chapter 14, “Program Evaluation,” in the Keating text.
• Consider why nurse educators might employ an eclectic approach that combines one or more of the following evaluation models: conceptual, benchmarking, evaluation process, formative, and summative.
• Reflect on your Course Project. Consider the internal and external factors that influence your setting, as well as the needs of the learner. What approach to evaluation might work best to assess the quality of your team’s proposed curriculum? Conduct further research as necessary.

Note: After each team member has received feedback on his or her posting, your team should meet to discuss the evaluation model(s) that you will incorporate into your Course Project.

Topic 1: Creating Learner-Centered Lessons for the On-Site Environment

You will be assigned to Discussion Topic Group 1 or 2 to post your initial assignment and will be posting your responses to your colleagues in the other Discussion Group. For example, students assigned to Discussion Topic 1 will be posting their initial assignment in the Discussion Topic Group 1 Forum and post their responses to their colleagues in the Discussion Topic Group 2 Forum.

Dorothy: Oh, will you help me? Can you help me?
Glinda: You don’t need to be helped any longer. You’ve always had the power to go back to Kansas.
Dorothy: I have?
Scarecrow: Then why didn’t you tell her before?
Glinda: Because she wouldn’t have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.
—The Wizard of Oz, 1939

What is a learner-centered teaching approach? Furthermore, how might you design a learner-centered lesson? Just as it sounds, learner-centered teaching approaches place the learner at the center of the lesson. Based in constructivism, this approach prompts learners to become active participants in their learning. Where traditional teaching approaches tend to place educators in a more omniscient role, learner-centered approaches require educators to scaffold student learning towards the achievement of learning objectives. Much like Glinda the Good Witch guided Dorothy on her journey home, so too should an educator guide learners through the examination of a new concept, skill, or process.

The ability to engage learners in this type of active learning is a crucial skill for nurse educators. Whether teaching nursing students, staff, or patients, educators must find an effective balance between the dissemination of information and hands-on, active learning. Doing so will not only benefit the learner but also the nurse educator.

To prepare

• Reflect on the on-site learning environment. As a nurse educator, what type of classroom management concerns might you have about teaching in on-site situations?
• Review this week’s readings on classroom management strategies. What does classroom management look like in the on-site environment? How might nurse educators employ strategies throughout their lessons to decrease classroom management concerns?
• Reflect on the audience, learning need, learning objectives, and learning activity that you described in last week’s Discussion, “Crafting Meaningful and Measurable Learning Objectives.” How might you build upon these initial ideas to create a 15- to 20-minute lesson for the on-site environment? Specifically, what might you add to your activity to transform it into a comprehensive lesson that consists of a beginning, middle, and end?
• Using a blank copy of the Lesson Plan Template document (introduced last week and also presented in this week’s Learning Resources), design a learner-centered lesson that aligns to your identified learning need and learning objectives.

Note: This Lesson Plan should continue the ideas started in the Week 2 Discussion. It should not build upon the Lesson that you have started for your Assignment, “Creating a Video Presentation for a Virtual Lesson,” which is independent from any Lesson Plans created for weekly Discussions.

Crafting Meaningful and Measurable Learning Objectives

Medical education uses a range of terms—aims, learning outcomes, learning objectives, competencies—to describe what learners should achieve as a result of educational interventions. This can be confusing, but it is often important that end points are clearly defined before the learning takes place. It is like planning a journey—if you don’t know where you intend to go before you start, you may end up somewhere you don’t want to be.
—McKimm, J., & Swanwick, T.

Learning objectives lay the foundation for a lesson. As the quote above alludes to, they (learning objectives) provide not only a starting point, but also a destination. When crafted meaningfully, learning objectives can provide nurse educators with measurable and observable behaviors. In addition, when communicated early, often, and clearly, learning objectives can better address student, staff, and patient learning needs.

Learning needs, or gaps in knowledge, range from concepts and attitudes to psychomotor skills. In addition, the learning needs of baccalaureate nursing students will differ greatly from the learning needs of doctoral nursing students. Likewise, the learning needs of cardiac patients will differ from those of diabetic patients. In effect, the learning experiences in which each audience engages must be carefully and meaningfully tailored towards their specific needs.

To prepare

• Select an audience of learners (nursing students, nursing staff, or patients) that you are interested in teaching.
• Reflect on the diverse learning needs of this specific audience and select one to further investigate for your Discussion*.
• Review the article, Writing Learning Objectives that Help You Teach and Students Learn (Part 1), and the links to the Lesson Plan Tutorials, which are located in this week’s Learning Resources. Reflect on the examples and non-examples of action verbs. Then, consider the action verbs that you might select to address the identified learning need.
• Review the Crafting Learning Objectives document, which is located in this week’s Learning Resources. Then, craft at least two learning objectives—relevant to the learning need that you identified, which follow the format required of the Nursing Education specialization.
• Consider learning activities that might align to these learning objectives. For example, if the learning objective is to demonstrate the ability to accurately take a patient’s blood pressure, the activity should involve students practicing the process of blood pressure readings; if the learning objective is to compare learning theories, the activity may include a small group discussion.
• Consider how each activity could be used to meaningfully assess student, staff, or patient learning.
• Keeping the audience and learning need in mind, create a description of a learning activity that aligns to the objectives.

* Select an audience and learning need about which you are genuinely interested. You will keep this focus (audience, learning need, learning objectives) and expand on it over the next three Discussions.

Discussion: Nuerological Disorders

Neurological disorders, such as headaches, seizure disorders, sleep disorders, depression, and dementia, can present several complications for patients of all ages. These disorders affect patients physically and emotionally, impacting judgment, school and/or job performance, and relationships with family and friends. Since these disorders may have drastic effects on patients’ lives, it is important for advanced practice nurses to effectively manage patient care. With patient factors and medical history in mind, it is the nurse’s responsibility to assist physicians in the diagnosis, treatment, and education of patients with neurological disorders.

To prepare:

• Review this week’s media presentations on the nervous system.
• Select one of the following neurological disorders: headaches, seizure disorders, sleep disorders, depression, or dementia. Consider the pathophysiology, as well as the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat your selected disorder.
• Select one of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of the disorder. Then, reflect on how this factor might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as measures you might take to help reduce any negative side effects.
• Locate an agency that provides patient education on your selected disorder and review the available materials and curriculum. Consider how you might be able to use those materials to educate a patient on the disorder, treatment options, management, and self-care.

By Day 3

Post a description of the neurological disorder you selected, including its pathophysiology and types of drugs that would be prescribed to treat patients. Then, explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of the disorder, as well as the effects of prescribed drugs. Include a description of measures you might take to help reduce any negative side effects. Finally, explain how you would use materials from a supporting agency to educate patients on the disorder, treatment options, management, and self-care.
