Validity
Measuring info it’s supposed to measure
Example of Validity
Test blueprint is used to develop questions r/t objectives (to ensure this).
Reliability
Consistency of test scores
Example of Reliability
Making changes to items so they are more discriminating (to improve this).
Epistemology
Study of what’s knowledge & truth
Axiology
Study of what’s good
Behaviorism
Pavlov, Watson, Skinner
Social (Cognitive) Learning Theory
Bandura (1997)
Social aspects do affect learning
Constructivism
Piaget, Vygotsky (“active” learning theory)
Supports multiple perspectives on subjects
Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (4 Major Concepts)
Concrete experience (CE) (reality)
Abstract conceptualization (AC) (thinking about an EXP)
Reflective observation (RO) (taking in the experience)
Active experimentation (AE) (using hands-on EXPs)
Humanism
Rogers, Maslow (*self-actualiz)
Emancipatory Edu (Freire)
Both educators & students are learners through true dialogue
Theory of Meaningful Learning
Knowledge must be interesting to learner & grounded in past EXPs
Correlates w/ constructivism
Carper’s “Ways of Knowing”
Four Ways that nurses understand practice situations:
-empirical/sci knowledge (incl EBP)
-personal knowledge or understanding how you’d feel in pt’s position
-ethical knowledge/attitudes and understanding of moral decisions
-aesthetic knowledge/understanding situation of pt at the moment
5th Way of Knowing (Munhall)
Unknowing (understanding that RN can’t know everything and must place self in position to learn from pt’s perspective
Deep learning
Motivation is mainly intrinsic
Surface learning (atomistic)
Memorization of facts & details
(Motivation: extrinsic)
Strategic learning
Learner does what’s needed to complete a course
(Mix of deep & surface learning)
ARCS model
Used to motivate learners
A - attention (keep it through stimulus changes in setting)
R - relevance
C - confidence (make expectations clear)
S - satisfaction (have appropriate consequences for learner’s new skills)
Brophy Model
Methods which motivation is formed
-Modeling
-Communication of expectations
-Direct instruction
-Socialization by parents & educators
Vroom’s Expectancy Model (VEM)
Describes what ppl want & whether they’re positioned to obtain it
3 concepts:
-Force (F) = amnt of effort person will put into reaching goal
-Valence (V) = how attractive goal is to person
-Expectancy (E) = possibility of goal being achieved
F = V x E
Lotte’s FIRE UP Motivational Strategy
F: be Funny
I: be Interesting (graphics)
R: be Real
E: Engage them (active learning strategies)
U: be Unique
P: be Passionate

Demonstrator or personal model
Facilitator
Delegator
Quirk’s Classification of Teaching Styles
- Assertive (drives home info)
- Suggestive (requests learners research more info on subject)
- Collaborative (use skills to promote prob-solving & higher lvl of thinking)
- Facilitative (challenge learners to reflect & use affective learning)
