Lesson 3: The Determinants of Learning Exam #1
Question with verified answers
Assessment of the learner - √√The learner's characteristics that will influence learning which and educator must be
aware of are:
1. Learning needs
2. The learners' perceptual abilities
3. Motivational abilities or readiness
4. Reading abilities
5. Developmental stage
a. Learning style(s)
b. Physical abilities
Haggard (1989) - √√He states that the educators role in the learning process is primarily to assess the learning in
relation to the three factors that affect learning or what is termed as Determinants of learning.
Determinants of learning: - √√1. Learning Needs ( what the learner needs to learn)
2. Readiness ( when the learner is receptive to learning)
3. Learning style ( how the learner best learns)
Learning Needs - √√- These are gaps in knowledge that exist between a desired level of performance and the actual
level of performance (Healthcare Education Association, 1985).
- It is the gap or difference between what someone knows and what someone needs to know due to lack of
knowledge, attitude, or skills.
Assessing Learning Needs (Bastable, 2003) - √√1. Identify the learner
2. Choose the right setting
3. Collect data on the learner
4. Include the learner as a source of information
5. Include the members of the healthcare team
6. Determine availability of educational resources
7. Assess demands of the organization
8. Consider time-management issues
9. Prioritize needs
Identify the learner - √√Who is the learner, is it an individual or a group, what are the
learning needs?
Choose the right setting - √√It establish a trusting environment by ensuring privacy and confidentiality especially if
confidential information will be shared.
Collect data on the learner - √√It is by determining the characteristic learning needs of the target population or any
recipient of the learning material.
Include the learner as a source of information - √√It allows the learner to actively participate in identifying his needs and
problems.
, Include the members of the healthcare team - √√It is the collaborate with the other healthcare professionals who may
have knowledge with the patient.
Determine availability of educational resources - √√It is the materials and equipment used to demonstrate procedures
should be appropriate, available, affordable, easy and simple to manipulate by the learner.
Assess demands of the organization - √√It examines the organizational climate, its philosophy, vision, mission, and the
goals to know its educational focus. Is it more on health promotion and disease prevention rather than rehabilitative
care? Its focus or emphasis will dictate the learning needs of its clients and staff.
Consider time-management issues - √√a. Allow learners to identify their learning needs
b. Identify potential opportunities to assess the patient anytime, anywhere
c. Minimize distractions/interruptions during planned assessment interviews.
Prioritize needs - √√It is based on Maslow's Heirarchy of needs where the basic lower level of physiologic needs must
first be met before one can move up the higher, more abstract level of needs. It follows a hierarchy.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - √√1. Physiological Needs
2. Safety and Security
3. Love and Belonging
4. Self Esteem
5. Self Actualization
Physiological Needs (Maslow) - √√Breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion
Safety Needs (Maslow) - √√Security of body, of employment, of resources, of morality, of the family, of health, of
property.
Love and belonging needs (Maslow) - √√Friendship, family, sexual intimacy
Self-Esteem (Maslow) - √√Self-esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others, respect by others.
Self-actualization (Maslow) - √√Morality, creativity, spontaneity, problem solving, lack of prejudice, acceptance of facts.
Abraham Harold Maslow (April 1, 1908 - June 8, 1970) - √√He was a psychologist who studied positive human qualities
and the lives of exemplary people. In 1954, Maslow created the Hierarchy of Human Needs and expressed his theories
in his book, Motivation and Personality.
Self-Actualization - √√It is a person's motivation to reach his or her full potential. As shown in Maslow's Hierarchy of
Needs, a person's basic needs must be met before self-actualization can be achieved.
The criteria for Prioritizing Learning Needs (Healthcare Education Assoc., 1985) - √√1. Mandatory
2. Desirable
3. Possible
