Teaching and Learning and Strategies in a Diverse Population
Teaching and Learning and Strategies in a Diverse Population
Students need to understand the importance and application of adult learning theories and teaching strategies within a diverse population.
As a new instructor in a MSN program, you have been assigned to teach medication administration to your students. Your course is made up of adult learners, from a diversity of cultures and ages. When considering the adult learners, how do they learn best? You will write a 3–4-page paper (Excluding title page and references) that includes a comparison and contrasting of four learning theories of your choice. You will need to include how understanding adult learning principles and/or theories can add to your effectiveness as a nurse educator.
For each of the three domains of learning, please select one teaching strategy related to medication administration: Cognitive, Psychomotor and Affective, and provide a rationale for your selection.
Please use Level One headings for each category:
Introduction
