✔✔Social Learning Theory (Constructivist Learning Theory) - ✔✔Learning though
observation of others. (Sim, debrief)
✔✔Sociocultural Learning (Constructivist Learning Theory) - ✔✔Learning through

demonstrates mastery.
✔✔Situated Cognition (Constructivist Learning Theory) - ✔✔Learning occurs in the
context of real-world experience (actual nursing practice)
✔✔Cognitive Development Learning Theories - ✔✔Learning through sequential
development over time with a focus on information processing emphasizing
understanding and acquisition of new knowledge.
✔✔Adult Learning Theory (Cognitive Development Learning Theories) - ✔✔Learners
are self-directed and use past experiences in the learning process.
✔✔Novice-to-Expert (Cognitive Development Learning Theories) - ✔✔Learning occurs
through levels of knowledge and experience throughout the nursing program.
✔✔Disposition toward critical thinking has 3 areas. What are they? - ✔✔1 - The

✔✔What does PICOT format (EVP when teaching) stand for? - ✔✔P - population
I - intervention
C - comparison intervention or group
O - outcome
T - time
✔✔What is a flipped classroom? - ✔✔Direct instruction moves outside the classroom
space in the form of preclass activities. Class time is then spent engaging in active
learning strategies.
Pros of flipped classroom:
1 - draws on active learning, student engagement, and hybrid course design
, 2 - blends direct instruction with constructivist learning
3 - personalized student learning
4 - promotes deep learning
5 - builds on what students already know
6 - supports collaboration, teamwork, and peer-to-peer mentoring
✔✔Strategies for nurse educators to use to become more culturally competent in their
teaching? - ✔✔1 - assess the demographic profile of your current students
2 - reflect on your own cultural histories
3 - role model a cultural curiosity in the clinical setting and demonstrate incorporation of
culture into nursing assessment and interventions
4 - make cultural competency a priority and discuss "hot button" issues such as
immigration and how to balance cultural sensitivity with a myriad of other professional
issues in a nursing program
✔✔Things to keep in mind when using technology - ✔✔Too much unfettered technology
is bad and directly hinders learning. The use of technology should not come at the
expense of personal interaction both in and outside the classroom.
✔✔Self-awareness - ✔✔Is critical for ongoing improvement as a facilitator of learning.
The task statement that align with self-development are:
1 - engages in self-reflection and continued learning to improve teaching practices
2 - maintains a professional practice knowledge base needed for contemporary nursing
practice
3 - serves as a role model of professional nursing
✔✔Reflection-beyond-action - ✔✔This type of reflection is used to unlearn, to critically
reflect on one's knowledge and beliefs and consider how these factors affect one's
practice. This is a new phase of self-reflection.
✔✔Boyer's Model of Scholarship - ✔✔All four types of scholarship (of discovery, of
teaching, of practice (application), of integration) include peer-reviewed articles,
research, and grant awards but have distinct differences.
✔✔Scholarship of Discovery (Boyer's model of scholarship) - ✔✔The discovery of new
knowledge. A scientific finding is integrated into the application and integration process
of health care.
✔✔Scholarship of Teaching (Boyer's model of scholarship) - ✔✔An active learning
environment where the nurse educator uses a variety of teaching methods to provide
learners with the ability to discuss, collaborate, and explore. The curriculum has been
developed to reflect global, diverse population.
✔✔Scholarship of Practice (Application) (Boyer's model of scholarship) - ✔✔The ability
