Nurse Education in Practice
|September 22, 2018
Summary
Nurse educators can improve inclusivity for students with learning difficulties by adopting Universal Design principles. This new educational paradigm offers practical strategies to support diverse learning needs effectively.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Psychology
Background:
- Increasing enrollment of students with learning difficulties in nursing programs presents challenges.
- Current educational models struggle to effectively support diverse learning needs, perpetuating student disparities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a new educational paradigm for nursing programs based on Universal Design principles.
- To compare Universal Design strategies with current evidence-based pedagogy for inclusive education.
Main Methods:
- Comparative analysis of Universal Design in classroom teaching and management versus traditional methods.
- Discussion of implementation strategies and practical examples for adopting Universal Design.
Main Results:
- Current systems for reasonable adjustments have fundamental flaws and limited effectiveness.
- Universal Design offers feasible and practical adjustments to support diverse learning needs for all students.
Conclusions:
- A shift to a Universal Design paradigm can enhance equity and inclusivity in nursing education.
- Implementation can occur at the individual educator or campus-wide level.

01:37Reason and Intuition
7.5K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Reasoning is the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way. It is integral to problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking. Reasoning can be inductive or deductive. Reasoning involves transforming information into conclusions, which is essential for problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking.
Inductive reasoning involves deriving generalizations from specific observations. This type of reasoning helps form beliefs about the world. For example,...

Deductive reasoning, or deduction, is the type of logic used in hypothesis-based science. In deductive reasoning, the pattern of thinking moves in the opposite direction as compared to inductive reasoning, which means that it uses a general principle or law to predict specific results. From those general principles, a scientist can deduce and predict the specific results that would be valid as long as the general principles are valid.
For example, a researcher can deduce specific predictions...

Inductive reasoning is a form of logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at a general conclusion. It is uncertain and operates in degrees to which the conclusions are credible. As such, inductive arguments can be weak or strong, rather than valid or invalid, and conclusions can be used to formulate testable, falsifiable hypotheses.
Inductive reasoning is common in descriptive science. A life scientist makes observations and records them. This data can be qualitative or...

01:25The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic
7.8K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

01:12Adjusting a Traverse

In the site survey of a four-sided traverse, internal angles are essential to ensure geometric accuracy. The survey revealed that the sum of the measured internal angles was 359 degrees and 48 minutes, which is 12 minutes less than the expected 360 degrees. This discrepancy signals an error likely arising from measurement inaccuracies during the fieldwork.To rectify this error, the adjustment process involved distributing the 12-minute shortfall equally across the four internal angles. By...
