Arts-Based Learning: A New Approach to Nursing Education Using Andragogy
The Journal of Nursing Education
|June 29, 2016
Summary
Arts-based learning, informed by andragogy, enhances nursing education by fostering deep inquiry and diverse learning styles. This approach supports cognitive and emotional development, preparing students for complex practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pedagogical Strategies
- Arts-Based Learning
Background:
- Nursing education requires learner-centered strategies for complex practice.
- Arts-based learning nurtures cognitive and emotional development.
- Knowles' theory of andragogy guides adult learning and skill development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the implementation and evaluation of arts-based learning for undergraduate nursing theory.
- To integrate andragogy principles into arts-based learning for nursing students.
Main Methods:
- Arts-based learning activities were designed and implemented.
- Student and instructor feedback was collected via anonymous questionnaires.
Main Results:
- Students reported enhanced learning through arts-based activities.
- Instructors expressed interest in curriculum integration.
- Facilitators and barriers to mainstreaming were identified.
Conclusions:
- Arts-based learning approaches improve nursing education by supporting deep inquiry and varied learning styles.
- Further research into andragogy-informed arts-based learning in nursing is recommended.
- This approach holds potential for other academic disciplines.

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.

2.2K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

2.7K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
