MSN6105 Teaching and Active Learning Strategies

Assessment 1

Note: Assessments in this course build on each other and must be completed in sequential order.

It is important to consider the role of diversity and learning environments when selecting appropriate theories and approaches for a desired learning outcome. For this assessment, you will implement these considerations in an educational environment of your choosing.

Preparation

Take time to review educational theories that you have studied in prior courses or used in your work. Do additional research on educational theories and approaches as necessary.

Optional: Practice implementing these considerations in the Vila Health challenge provided in the Resources before beginning your work here.

Instructions

For this assessment, you will create a 5–7-page high-level teaching plan in which you do the following:

Select a topic for a course that you would like to teach in an educational environment. (For example, maybe you would like to be a nursing instructor in an institution of higher learning, a staff development educator in a clinical facility, or a patient educator in a hospital.) Briefly describe your course and the environment that you will utilize for teaching. Also describe the intended audience for your course.

Select an educational theory that you could use to guide the development of your course. Describe the key points of the theory you selected and explain why you think this theory fits the topic, audience, and context of your course.

Be sure to cite textbooks or articles from peer-reviewed journals to support your choice.

Identify and discuss potential diversity in the group that you anticipate teaching. (Diversity can include multiculturalism, age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, Limited English Proficiency (LEP), or other cultural barriers that you feel could impact your learning environment.)

Use current research to describe how you will address these issues in your learning environment.

Describe how you will manage conflict in the classroom that may arise from the anticipated diversity among learners.

Additional Requirements

Format: 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font, double-spaced in Microsoft Word.

Length: 5–7 pages, plus a title page and a references page.

Use correct APA format, including running head, page numbers, and a title page.

Writing should be free of grammar and spelling errors that distract from content.

Assessment 2

Create a 3–4-page report on the optimal learning environment for the course you began developing in Assessment 1. You should select a learning environment that will foster motivation in your learner population, support your efforts at classroom motivation, and best serve the goals of the course.

Optional Preparation

Practice implementing these considerations in the Vila Health challenge provided in the Resources before beginning your work here.

Instructions

Create a report that does the following:

Describes the learning environment most appropriate for the educational topic and intended audience that you identified.

Briefly describes and evaluates theories of classroom management, learner management, and learner motivation that are relevant to your course and intended audience.

Describes evidence-based strategies for classroom and learner management and evidence-based best practices to enhance learner motivation and how you would employ these in your learning environment and with a diverse group of learners.

Supports your choices with scholarly resources.

Additional Requirements

Format: 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font, double-spaced in Microsoft Word.

Length: 3–4 pages, plus a title page and a references page.

Use correct APA format, including running head, page numbers, and a title page.

Use and cite at least three scholarly articles in your plan.

Writing should be free of grammar and spelling errors that distract from content.

Assessment 3

Create a 5–7-page report on teaching strategies you can apply in the course you are designing.

Optional Preparation

Practice implementing these considerations in the Vila Health challenge provided in the Resources before beginning your work here.

Instructions

Create three learning outcomes for your course. Conduct research on your course topic as necessary to create these outcomes. Summarize general course content and how these outcomes will relate to overall course content and how they align with learner expectations.

Identify and evaluate at least three teaching strategies that could be used in your course and that are a good fit for your learner population, course topic, outcomes, and content. Explain which are the most appropriate teaching strategies for your course and audience, and why they are the most appropriate. Be sure to describe the advantages of using the selected strategies. Support your assertions with research from the field.

Explain some of the possible barriers to learning might you encounter in your course. Identify the strategies you could use to overcome those barriers and to keep learners motivated.

Additional Requirements

Format: 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font, double-spaced in Microsoft Word.

Length: 5–7 pages, plus a title page and a references page.

Use correct APA format, including running head, page numbers, and a title page.

Use and cite at least two scholarly articles in your plan.

Assessment 4

For this assessment, you will build an assessment plan of your own that fits with your course plan. Your assessment plan should blend seamlessly into the course components that you have already designed. To that end, you will consolidate the work you have already completed in earlier assessments with the assessment plan here in order to create a clear, concise, focused teaching plan that meets the needs of the content, learner population, and environment.

Preparation

Take time to reflect on the following questions as you craft your assessment plan for your course, conducting additional research as necessary.

What types of assessment do you believe are most appropriate for your educational topic and intended audience?

How will you evaluate whether or not learning outcomes were accomplished?

Do the assessments you selected support cultural competence?

How will the assessments demonstrate that learning has occurred?

As you select the assessments that you will use, what is your rationale for the type of assessments you will use? Explain how these assessments support differences in learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic)?

Also, before completing your final, complete course plan, be sure to make any necessary changes or improvements based on what you have learned over the course overall.

(Optional) Practice implementing these considerations in the Vila Health challenge provided in the Resources before beginning your work here.

Instructions

Create a complete teaching plan for your course that fuses together all previous course components and includes the addition of a detailed assessment plan.

Your complete teaching plan should provide:

An overview of the course topic, environment, and learner population.

An explanation of the learner outcomes for the course as well as the learning theory or theories that are the foundation of the course.

An incorporation of evidence-based best practices to enhance learner motivation in your selected learning environment and format.

An integration of appropriate teaching strategies, techniques, and learner outcomes for nursing and healthcare education for use in specific situations and populations and of evidence-based best practices for classroom and learner management.

A consideration of barriers to learning when designing and developing educational programs and an integration of cultural competence in nursing and healthcare educational offerings.

A logical, well-designed assessment plan that addresses these points:

A selection of assessment types that are most appropriate for the content, environment, and learner population.

An explanation of how you will evaluate whether or not learning outcomes were accomplished in the course, and how assessments will demonstrate that learners have learned as intended.

An analysis of how your selected assessment types support cultural competence as well as fit for learners with varied learning styles.

Organize your plan as follows:

Title page.

Table of Contents.

An overview of your course (topic, setting audience, and so on).

Learning Theories and Diversity (Assessment 1).

Teaching Strategies (Assessment 2).

Management and Motivation (Assessment 3).

Assessment Strategies (designed in this Assessment).
