  • Reflective Discussion

    Our focus this week is on assessment of learner needs. Assessment of learner needs is a comprehensive process of collecting data about the demographics of your learners to gain an idea of their diversity; using formal and informal measures to assess learning styles and preferences; and gaining understanding of the learners’ motivations for learning. Discuss strategies for learning needs assessment with your preceptor. Conduct the learning needs assessment and report the following in your reflective journal response:

    • Describe the learner population in terms of (a) the subject of the learning module, (b) the environment where the teaching will occur—academic setting or clinical setting, (c) the number of students in the learner group, (d) their status—first year students, second year, etc., (e) age, gender, and (f) anticipated generational differences among learners.
    • Formulate some conclusions about the diversity of the group you are assessing and explain how this will determine your teaching strategies.
    • Describe your methods for formally or informally assessing your group and identify any constraints you encountered.

    Be sure you write this journal “off-line” and then copy/paste to this discussion forum (do not upload as a Word document). This will be something you will want to look back at as you progress forward in your upcoming role as a nurse educator.Tie your discussion to QSEN, IOM recommendations, your personal goals, course objectives, NLN Nurse Educator competencies, and South University’s College of Nursing Conceptual Framework Pillars (Caring, Communication, Critical Thinking, Professionalism, and Holism).Last week we reviewed NLN’s Core Competencies of Nurse Educators that you are asked to refer to in your reflective analysis. The conceptual framework is available in the Practicum Packet and the course objectives for this course are as follows:

    1. Analyze the role of the nurse educator.
    2. Conduct a learner assessment for the class/classes assigned.
    3. Prepare a formal teaching plan.
    4. Enact the role of nurse educator in didactic class/classes.
    5. Enact the role of nurse educator in a clinical setting.
    6. Attend a curriculum or course planning meeting.
