14
Q
Stages of change model
A

- Maintenance: continue encouragement
15
Q
- is an instructional method in which action by the educator is done to show the learner how to perform a certain skill
- Educator should give purpose, steps, equipment, and actions needed or expected prior to demonstration.
- Incremental approach to steps: scaffolding
A
Demonstration
16
Q
- Is an instructional method in which the learner attempts to perform a skill with cues from the teacher as needed
- Should occur as close as possible to when demonstration was given
- Educator should remain silent except to give necessary cues or answer questions.
- Break procedure into increments to allow learner to master sequence in stages.
- Praise learner along the way.
- Emphasize what to do, not what not to do.
- Supervise practice until competent enough to practice alone.
- Perform high-risk skills on a model first.
A
Return Demonstration
17
Q
- Is an instructional method requiring the learner to participate in a competitive activity with preset rules
- Goal is for learners to win a game by applying knowledge and rehearsing previously learned skills
- May be purchased or self-developed
A
Gaming
18
Q
- Is a trial-and-error method of teaching whereby an artificial experience is created that engages the learner in an activity that reflects real-life conditions but without the risk-taking consequences of an actual situation
- Teaches critical thinking, high-level decision making
- Fosters interdisciplinary education to improve teamwork, communication, and role valuing
- Debriefing session should follow.
- Most effective: lifelike, nonthreatening
- Impose time constraints.
- Provide realistic tension.
- Use actual equipment.
A
Simulation
19
Q
Types of Simulation teaching methods
A
o Written
o Clinical
o Model
o Computer
20
Q
- Is an instructional method where learners actively participate in an unrehearsed dramatization
- Learners are asked to play an assigned character as they think the character would realistically act.
- Intended to arouse feelings and elicit emotional responses from learners
- Form of simulation may substitute for or supplement higher-cost forms.
- Educator must ensure that the group members feel secure with one another.
- All members of the group should be given an assignment as participant or observer.
- Best done in small groups
- All members should discuss and share afterwards.
A
Role Play
21
Q
- Learning from a role model is called identification and emanates from learning and developmental theories.
- Primarily achieves behavior change in the affective domain
- A way to guide, support, and socialize students and novices to new function levels
- Consistently setting examples and “living the standards” can teach
A
Role Model
22
Q
- Is an instructional method to provide or design activities that guide the learner in independently achieving the educational objectives
- Formats include workbooks, study guides, workstations, videotapes, internet modules, computer programs.
- Educator provides motivation and reinforcement.
A
