...Process of Orientation for Nurses in the Maternity Unit Introduction Employee orientation is critical to all new staff employed in a new facility. Whether the profession is in nursing, retail, or management, employee orientation is essential. Orientation plays a critical role in improving an employee’s confidence and competence. Through this orientation the employee is able to get acquainted with other staff and obtain new information and skills that are required for his/her job. Without these skills and knowledge the employee cannot perform the duties that are required. Nursing is a profession with numerous specialties. Although basic nursing skills are required for all units different nursing skills are needed for specific specialties. Therefore, all nurses unfamiliar with that particular specialty will need orientation. The maternity unit is one specialty that requires skills and knowledge that are not common in other nursing specialties. These skills include the use of fetal heart monitors, uterine contraction monitors, assessment of patients in labor and cervical dilation, assessment of postpartum patients, and assessment of newborns. In addition to the need for learning new skills, orientation is also a requirement of the Joint Commission. Ludlow (2006) states that “guidelines delineated by the Joint Commission (JCAHO, 2003) support the need for all nurses to participate in an orientation program specific to their unit; even more so for those in...

...their particular context. Teacher’s in South Africa battle on a daily basis with the effects of teaching large number of learners in an under-resourced context. Teachers are expected to adapt to those changes and such changes impact heavily on the roles of teachers in the classroom. They must find a way to facilitate teaching, learning and assessment despite difficult conditions. The gap between curriculum as intention and curriculum as reality confronts teachers regularly. The aim of this essay will address the narrow and broad definitions of the concept curriculum, as well as the official, explicit, implicit, covert and hidden curriculum as they are viewed by different authors. Defining Curriculum Two views on curriculum: Narrow and Broad Many educationists argue that awareness of different interpretations is important in developing a Good understanding of what curriculum is (Booyse & Du plesis, 2014: 4). However they make a point that different approaches, either as a blue print or adaption approach, may be appropriate for different situations. Take a closer look at the various interpretations: Eisner (1985) defines curriculum as a series of planned events that are intended to have educational consequences for one or more learners, whereas Fraser (1993) interprets curriculum as the inter-related totality of aims, learning content, evaluation procedures and teaching-learning activities, opportunities and experiences that guide and implement didactic activities...

...Running head: PSYCOLOGICAL UNDERPINNINGS: A TASK AT HAND Psychological Underpinning: A Task At Hand Beverly Becnel Grand Canyon University: EDU 313 N February 21, 2012 The task of teaching children comes with many different avenues to choose from, but the avenue we choose is only as good as the way we plan the lesson and the child’s ability to comprehend it. Another notable factor of planning for lessons is the many theories that are available for our use. Because of the fact that children learn and develop at different stages, it is important to evaluate each child and make sure the lessons we are planning to teach is at that child’s level. In order to ensure we have chosen the best pathway for the child’s learning experience it is also important for teachers to make themselves familiar with these theories and discover when and how to use them. One theory I found to be a good resource is Behaviorism which is also known as behavioral psychology; this theory is based on the fact that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. This conditioning can occur with the interaction of the environment. According to this theory behavior can be studied in a systematic and observable manner regardless of internal mental status (cherry, 2012). The two major types of behaviorism are classical conditioning, and operant conditioning. The classical conditioning theory is based on the act of placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. For example you smell...

...of curiosity, the stimulation of creativity, the development of proper interests, attitudes & values & the builing of essential skills such as independent study & capacity to think and judge for oneself. In modern education, students are encouraged to explore, to ask questions, to study themselves & to be creative. In this modern education audio-visual aids are more important because in modern teaching- learning process 85% of teaching is related to the audio visual aids. It is now established that audio -visual aids work as potent initiators. In the past the teacher was considered to be the soverign as far as the teaching -learning process was concerned. The role of the students was mostly passive. Modern trends have changed the face of educational world. Many progressive methods have come in the wake of these trends. Yet the traditional methods are not being given up altogether, they are “being modified and adjusted to the changed concepts and situations.” Multimedia Approach & Instructional Development – Educational Technology can be called systematic approach to problems solving in the educational environment. The National center of programmed Learning, UK(1971) defines Educational Technology as, “The application of scientific knowledge about learning and the conditions of learning to improve the effectiveness & efficiency of teaching learning & training and in the absence of scientifically established principles, it implements...

...’ S G U I D E T O TEACHING ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION INTRODUCTION NEED FOR THE GUIDE The Teaching Assessment and Evaluation Guide provides instructors with starting-points for reflecting on their teaching, and with advice on how to gather feedback on their teaching practices and effectiveness as part of a systematic program of teaching development. As well, the Guide provides guidance on how teaching might be fairly and effectively evaluated, which characteristics of teaching might be considered, and which evaluation techniques are best suited for different purposes. The Teaching Assessment and Evaluation Guide is a companion to the Teaching Documentation Guide (1993), also prepared by the Senate Committee on Teaching and Learning (SCOTL). The Documentation Guide (available at the Centre for the Support of Teaching and on the SCOTL website) aims to provide instructors with advice and concrete suggestions on how to document the variety and complexity of their teaching contributions. Teaching is a complex and personal activity that is best assessed and evaluated using multiple techniques and broadly-based criteria. Assessment for formative purposes is designed to stimulate growth, change and improvement in teaching through reflective practice. Evaluation, in contrast, is used for summative purposes to give an overview of a particular instructor’s teaching in a particular course and setting. Informed judgements on teaching effectiveness can best...

...Effective use of instructional materials in the teaching of basic sciences CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the study Education, according to Coombs (1970) consists of two components. He classified these two components into inputs and outputs. According to him, inputs consist of human and material resources and outputs are the goals and outcomes of the educational process. Both the inputs and outputs form a dynamic organic whole and if one wants to investigate and assess the educational system in order to improve its performance, effects of one component on the other must be examined. Instructional resources which are educational inputs are of vital importance to the teaching of any subject in the school curriculum. Wales (1975) was of the opinion that the use of instructional resources would make discovered facts glued firmly to the memory of students. Savoury (1958) also added that, a well-planned and imaginative use of visual aids in lessons should do much to banish apathy, supplement inadequacy of books as well as arouse student’s interest by giving them something practical to see and do, and at the same time helping to train them to think things out themselves. Savoury (1958) suggested a catalogue of useful visual aids that are good for teaching history i.e pictures, post cards, diagrams, maps, filmstrips and models. He said that selection of materials which are related to the basic contents of a course or a lesson, helps in-depth understanding of such a lesson...

...known with absolute certainty must be considered false until its truth is proven through observation, reason and experimentation (Dunn 126). Dewey believed that since problems of living are constantly changing, the instrument (or knowledge) for dealing with them has to change also. As a result, “truths” are tentative beliefs that change as the needs of the individuals in society change. People believe what leaders tell them, what society tells them and what their parents tell them. People are looking for truth and will believe what people tell them until it can no longer be proven. For the Christian educator as for Thomas Aquinas, any truth discovered in God’s world is God’s truth, so it is proper to give a prominent place in a Christian curriculum to the study of the natural sciences (Braley 27). Teachers need to determine wheather the subject matter being taught is the most important part of instruction or if developing character and/or well-being of the child is the most important factor (Dunn7). A caring and nurturing attitude towards students is most important. There is a clear distinction between knowledge and mere opinion or belief (Dunn 8). Education...

...INTRODUCTION Education aims to provide learning and knowledge, also to enhance the skills and abilities of every student, to bring competence, and guide them with positive attitudes and values. Quality education is considered as an important factor to produce globally competitive professionals in order to build a strong nation and to bring out the best way to get along with global competition. Education is facing challenges in terms of worldwide movement of international students mostly from the Asian and African continents to universities in the West to provide an important source of income to those receiving universities (Biggs and Tang, 2010). In trying to strengthen the quality assurance system in Philippine higher education, institutions of higher learning were mandated to upgrade higher education curricular offerings to international standards (Valdez, 2012). There is a growing worldwide concern among the stakeholders of education that the present educational system does not prepare students adequately for life and work in the 21st century. (ncrel.org) In order to remain responsive to these challenges, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) need to continuously assess correctly the organization’s strategic needs and ever-evolving business process requirements in terms of core, operational and management competencies. This has prompted many educators across the globe to explore new ways of designing education including a review of the curriculum, the instructional processes...
