Developing a learner-directed, learner-paced activity
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|May 9, 2015
Summary
Learner-directed, learner-paced activities, long a concept in nursing accreditation, were successfully piloted in 2014. This article details the methodology for developing these challenging, yet beneficial, educational activities.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Continuing Professional Development
Background:
- The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Primary Accreditation Program manual has long recognized learner-directed, learner-paced activities.
- Logistical challenges have historically hindered the implementation of these educational models.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explain the methodology for developing learner-directed, learner-paced activities.
- To share insights from a successful 2014 pilot implementation of such activities.
Main Methods:
- The article outlines the systematic process undertaken by one organization to develop and implement learner-directed, learner-paced activities.
- Focus on overcoming logistical barriers and ensuring successful pilot execution.
Main Results:
- A 2014 pilot program demonstrated the feasibility of implementing learner-directed, learner-paced activities.
- Successful navigation of logistical challenges associated with this educational approach.
Conclusions:
- The successful pilot validates the potential of learner-directed, learner-paced activities within accredited nursing continuing education.
- The described methodology provides a practical framework for other organizations seeking to implement similar initiatives.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:25Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
