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.

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.
