Week 2: Collaboration Café (Graded)
Collaboration Cafe: Developing an Educational Philosophy (graded)
As you start the Education Track, NR 535 is the first course to assist
in your transition to the role and responsibilities of a nurse
educator. As you begin this important course, it is useful to pause
and consider your philosophy concerning teaching and learning as
well as the roles of the educator and learner. Don't be fearful about
developing one's philosophy. One way to explain the word
philosophy is to see it as a search for general understanding. For
the career of the nurse educator, this means to search for
understanding about teaching and learning so that your developing
knowledge, skill, and attitude can be applied to providing an
environment that fosters learning by individuals.
Please know that active participation in this week's conversation
will assist you in the development of the Week 2 assignment. It
would also be helpful to review the Week 2 assignment guidelines
and rubric. The textbook provides the start of information regarding
several educational theories. For this Collaboration Café, consider
and provide a response to each of the following questions.
• What do I believe about teaching-learning?
• What do I believe that my role as a nurse educator is?
• What do I believe that the role of the learner is?
• Which educational theory supports my thoughts about
teaching-learning?
