Nursing Education
You are beginning to develop a fundamental course for the beginning nursing student. As nurses and educators, we know that learning skills require practice, drill, and observation. These essential skills form the beginning foundation of proficiencies that the student nurse needs in order to successfully move forward. As you review the course content, you have decided that you want to utilize an adult learning theory that provides the learner with an opportunity to not only master the beginning skills through practice but also actively construct knowledge while collaborating with others. I am currently working in the clinical setting providing education, competencies, and skills for expanding their current role of practice. The need for such proficiencies is to facilitate and support the new policies and procedures being implemented requiring nursing to work to their full licensing potential.
This class has opened my eyes to many aspects to education that I previously was unaware of. I truly support the Social Cognitive Theory which incorporates learning through observation, personal, and environmental factors proposed by Albert Bandura.

In my classroom, I would choose a pedagogical approach to setting up the desks that form groups of 4 or 5 so that once students visualize a demonstration or learn a new concept or task they can discuss and collaborate with others around them. According to Juhary (2012) "seating arrangement has helped the process of teaching and learning, and that both students and the instructor gain benefit from this practice. As a pedagogical tool, the arrangement allows the instructor to identify students who are weak and ultimately to arrange for activities and select materials that can assist learning" (p 15). By utilizing or implementing the andragogical setting or "adult learning theory" as depicted of Malcom Knowles through "The Adult Learning," (2013) the learner "instruction should be task-oriented instead of memorization -- learning activities should be in the context of common tasks to be performed by the others."
Looking at adult learners, I should be aware of the student's learning styles to apply reasonable strategies to enrich the experience. Motivation must be addressed and people's capabilities and potentialities must be developed as they make choices and seek control over their lives (Schunk 2012). Cognitive…
