...The learning, teaching and assessment experience This assignment is a written account of a learning, teaching and assessment experience within a clinical setting. It considers how the mentorship of a student can be influenced by the learning experience. It also discusses the learning, teaching and mentorship theories and considers the principles of an assessment. It will look at the reliability, validity and different factors that may influence the learner’s needs. It will reflect on the responsibilities and boundaries of the mentor and discuss the legal, ethical and professional accountability. The clinical setting as a learning environment will be analysed and the effectiveness of the roles and responsibilities of a mentor will be discussed. Finally, the importance of effective teamwork within a clinical setting environment will be examined. To comply with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC 2008) all confidential information will be withheld and names changed. According to the NMC (2006) students on an NMC approved pre-registration nursing course must be supported and assessed by a mentor. The mentor must be registered on a local register and must demonstrate their knowledge, skills and competences on an ongoing basis. As a qualified nurse the NMC (2008) also states “you must facilitate students and others to develop their competences”. Student nurses in their final year of study are allocated placements within the community setting every six months. Most students...

...Social Learning Theory Bertha Zhagui BUS375: Employee Training Instructor: Marissa Chavez July 8, 2013 The importance of training and cost of training are obvious. The question forcing the executives in organization is that how organization can make these training programs more effective. It means that individual makes the organizational performance better by utilizing their knowledge and skills consequently organization offers training for development of its employee performance to achieve required goals. This study highlights the importance and applications of learning theories and how these theories could prove to be of most effective in trainings. As training are only effective if it promote learning. Several theories relate to how people learn. Each theory relates to different aspects of the learning process. In my following paper I will discuss the Social Learning Theory, and will explain how this theory relates to my current workplace and how it would generate the same results in any other organizations. People are the critical component of the organizational system (Hayes, Wheelwright and Clark, 1998). Superior performance is ultimately based on the people in an organization, the right management principles, systems and procedures play an essential role. The capabilities that create a competitive advantage come from people, their skill, discipline, motivation, ability to solve problems and their capacity for learning (Tilley...

...Personal and professional development of an individual depends on his/her interpersonal skills. Every profession has particular challenge which a person find difficult to overcome unless he/she fail to make due progress within the job perspectives. In the past few decades profession the roles and responsibilities of a manager have changed extensively. This trend is mainly due to major change in organization policies and greater impact of globalization. However, it is never that much easy to define overall roles and responsibilities of a managerial position precisely. But there are some roles and responsibilities that are common to all professionals throughout the various organizations. It is also hard to know where the roles and responsibilities of a manager should pause and I feel it is every individual’s responsibility to know the boundaries as well as the limitations. Even though there still exists a misconception that the only skill required to be a successful is the ability to manage people, but it goes far beyond this. This is because, some challenge may occur within the organization which really test the temperaments and skill of the individual. It is also a traditional belief that a manager needs to be highly experienced no matter how much knowledge he/she has on managing perspective. A manager must be multi faceted adapting to ever changing circumstance (WALKLIN, 1990). Personal skill management: How a manager deals with others, his/her art of speaking, writing, analysing...

...teaching session and facilitating workplace learning module. INTRODUCTION As a requirement for the pre-registration program in Nilai University, I have to take Facilitating Workplace learning module. The aim of this module is to enable me to become a better facilitator in the future. Having experiences from my previous clinical posting, I realized that nursing profession is not only about patient’s bedside care, but also workplace improvement by facilitating others for example students, colleagues and patient health teaching. Gopee (2011) defined facilitating learning is that the learner becomes aware that they should be the originator of their thinking, meaning to say the learner should take more control of their learning instead of passively receive information from the teacher. In addition, facilitating learning is usually form part of healthcare’s professional code, as mentioned in code of practice by Nursing Midwifery Council (2008) that registered nurse must be willing to share their experiences and skills for the good of their colleagues and must facilitate student and others to develop their competent. In order to fulfill this subject, I have two main parts to complete. First, a plan for facilitating a learning session applied all the relevant theories that have been lecturing, and the second part, I am going to write here is a reflective essay using Gibb’s (1988) reflective cycle on what I have learn from this module and my learning from the observed session. In this paper...

...Introduction to the Portfolio This portfolio will attempt to analytically evaluate the role and responsibilities of myself as a practice mentor within the clinical environment using relevant literature and recognised frameworks. A critical analysis of learning, teaching and assessment strategies as well as educational theories will be integrated and applied. A written re-evaluation of this experience using the recognised reflective cycle of Boyd et al. (1985) will also be incorporated to enable me to effectively analyse my personal and professional development as a practice mentor. Prior to commencing this portfolio the learner and mentor were informed of my intentions and consent was gained freely and independently. The principles of confidentiality in accordance with the NMC (2004, p8) guidelines have been adhered to at all times. Within this portfolio the person being taught and assessed will be referred to as the student or learner. Another person relevant to this process is my mentor; they will be assessing my ability of mentoring and will subsequently be referred to as the mentor, thus protecting their anonymity. I am currently employed as a staff nurse working in an Emergency Department in the North of England. My role as a staff nurse is to work within a team, supporting and assisting other team members to achieve and implement high standards of care delivery. Part of the criteria for this portfolio was for me to choose a mentor that was able to objectively evaluate...

...CAREER DEVELOPMENT THEORIES COGNITION Contributors: A Bandura, R Hawthorn, B Law, J M Kidd J Killeen, J D Krumboltz, A.S Levin, and K.E. Mitchell SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY OF CAREERS DECISION MAKING Learning Theories suggest that it is an individual's unique learning experiences over their lifespan that develops the primary influences that lead to career choice. Mitchell and Krumboltz’ Social Learning Theory of Careers Decision Making (SLTCDM 1976) identifies four categories of influencers that affected career decision making: 1. Genetic Endowment and Special Abilities e.g. IQ, gender, appearance, race, ‘natural/gifted’ talent 2. Environmental Conditions and Events e.g. economic climate, technological development, educational system 3. Learning Experiences e.g. instrumental and associative learning experiences Instrumental Learning Experiences Reinforcement theory suggests that an individual will develop preferences through encouragement or discouragement and this will be directly connected with repeat behaviour. For example, if someone is praised for an action (positive reinforcement), they are more likely to repeat or build on that experience. Equally, if someone succeeds with an activity (for example, an academic subject), then they are more likely to pursue it. Associative Learning Experiences Associative learning describes how emotions can become attached to otherwise neutral events or observations. For example, if a person becomes stuck...

... 07/04/2014 4057624 Executive Summary Within this report I will be covering the basis of adult learning, other wise known as andragogy. It will be based upon me recently working in a HR graduate position at the Google office in Sydney. I will be covering what andragogy actually means and the types of principles of learning that are suggested by this theory by Malcolm Knowles. Then I shall be writing suggestions on how the Google training manager could use the principles of the theory andragogy in skills training at Google, on the principles they have yet to introduce in their training. Finally I will list four references that I will recommend to the HR manager at Google that I found gave me a better understanding of andragogy. Introduction Learning is "a relatively permanent change in behaviour (or behaviour potential) resulting from one's experiences" (Delahaye, 2011: 31). When adults are learning, we call this andragogy. As we already should know, adults learn vastly different to how children learn (pedagogy). There are many key differences in the learning department when comparing children to adults, such as instead of asking what, adults would ask why. Andragogy is a theory that holds a set of assumptions about how adults learn and it holds a great importance on the value of the process of learning. At the Google office in Sydney, the environment and people there are great to work in, and it feels as though the...

...(NMC) (2006) the term mentor is used to denote the role of a registered nurse who facilitates learning and supervises and assesses students in the practice place. They furthermore identify the eight mandatory standards that must be achieved to become a mentor, and within the assignment I shall be referring to the Standards to Support Learning and Assessment in Practice; NMC standards for mentors, practice teachers and teachers, and identifying the standards for mentors required (SM). This assignment will first look at the personal and professional reasons why I wanted to undertake the mentorship module. It will also discuss the importance of a supportive learning environment in the workplace, and how essential it is. My role as a mentor to a nursing student will be evaluated, looking at the way in which I supported her on the ward and how I facilitated this. In conclusion, I will identify my own personal development in undertaking and completing this module. As a registered nurse on a busy Paediatric ward I always enjoy supporting student nurses whilst they are on placement with us. There is an apparent shortage of qualified mentors on the ward, and within my last personal development review with my line manager I identified a need to attain the mentorship qualification. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2004) states, that as a registered nurse, you must keep your knowledge and skills up-to-date throughout your working life. You also have a duty to facilitate nursing students...

...Learning Styles and Strategies According to VARK Holly Holl Grand Canyon University: NRS 429V September 16, 2012 Learning Styles and Strategies According to VARK Neil Fleming co-authored the Fleming VARK learning model in 1987 with Colleen Mills. The acronym stands for Visual, Aural, Read/Write and Kinesthetic and is a questionnaire that provides users with a profile of their learning preferences, i.e., how information is taken in and given out (Fleming, 2001). The VARK learning styles are used toassess individual learning abilities orpreferences, the theories interpret the way in which the individual processes information and their ability to recall the information obtained. Learning style information can also benefit the student directly as they learn more about themselves and acquire knowledge of general learning theory (Breckler, 2009). Visual learners receive their information via, pictures, posters, slides, books with diagrams, graphs,symbols,flowcharts along with underlining,colors and highlights. Where as the aural strategies focus on attending actual class, watching and listening to tutorials, discuss topics with others, read and summarize notes outloud “hear” the understanding of the topic. Read/write students make lists, use resources such as dictionaries, handouts, textbooks and notes. A tendency toward writing out information over and over with different text assists the read/write learners.Organizing diagrams and graphs into statements with charts...

...Constructivism (learning theory) Constructivism is a theory to explain how knowledge is constructed in the human being when information comes into contact with existing knowledge that had been developed by experiences. It has its roots in cognitive psychology and biology and an approach to education that lays emphasis on the ways knowledge is created in order to adapt to the world. Constructs are the different types of filters we choose to place over our realities to change our reality from chaos to order. Von Glasersfeld describes constructivism as “a theory of knowledge with roots in philosophy, psychology, and cybernetics”.[1] Constructivism has implications to the theory of instruction. Discovery learning, hands-on, experiential, collaborate, project-based, tasked-based are a number of application that base teaching and learning. Constructivists • John Dewey (1859–1952) • Maria Montessori (1870–1952) • Władysław Strzemiński (1893–1952) • Lev Vygotsky (1896–1934) • Jean Piaget (1896–1980) • George Kelly (1905–1967) • Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) • Ernst von Glasersfeld (1917–2010) • Paul Watzlawick (1921–2007) • Edgar Morin (1921–) • Humberto Maturana (1928–) • Laszlo Garai (1935–) • David A. Kolb (1939–) Historical and Theoretical Roots According to Kliebard,[2] John Dewey created an active intellectual learning environment in his laboratory school during the early 20th century. Neuroscience now supports this form of active learning as the way people naturally...

...1. In your answer, identify the main lines of argument and differences in points of view between the commentators and the author. Justify your own point of view regarding the importance of reflection to individual and organisational performance. In his article, “I Don't Have Time to Think!, Versus the Art of Reflective Practice”, Joseph Raelin defined the importance of reflective practice, laid down organizational strategies that encourage reflection, and called for developing the skills of reflection. Two commentators, namely Phillip DiChiara and Philip McArthur, presented contra-arguments as to the standpoint of the author on reflective practices. DiChiara's main argument evolves around the creation of a “safe space” to make reflection viable, whereas McArthur reckons the key barrier to reflection-in-action is not necessarily time but skill. Besides, he disagrees with the author on how to apply certain skills of reflection at the individual or collective levels. Philip DiChiara opines that the concept of reflective practise is essentially unknown to many practitioners. His main argument is that reflective practice can never flourish if the organization or managers do not set the stage and create an environment for reflection. He argues that managers have to facilitate the correct balance between “getting down to business” and nurturing a conducive environment for refection in order to engage their peers. In his belief, this is essentially due to the differences from group...
