Reflective Discussion

Our focus this week continues with learner assessment. Following discussion with your preceptor, discuss the following in your reflective journal response:

• Describe your process for assessing learning styles and preferences. What methodology will you use? How can you incorporate both formal and informal processes?
• Next, discuss the results of your learner assessment considering the variety of learning styles and preferences identified.
• Reflect how you will use this information to influence your selection of teaching strategies.

Be sure you write this journal “off-line” and then copy/paste to this discussion forum (do not upload as a Word document). This will be something you will want to look back at as you progress forward in your upcoming role as a nurse educator.Tie your discussion to QSEN, IOM recommendations, your personal goals, course objectives, NLN Nurse Educator competencies, and South University’s College of Nursing Conceptual Framework Pillars (Caring, Communication, Critical Thinking, Professionalism, and Holism).Reflective Discussion Rubric (applies to all weeks)
