my learning objectives using Bloom’s taxonomy as a nurse educator
The nursing practice provides a good chance for students to be able to take care of real patients and families and use what is learned in classroom to patients in healthcare settings. Nurses are advocates for their patients. Therefore, nurse educators work with clinical staff to create a positive experience for students. Also, nurse educators have a demanding role in balancing the needs of students and staff. Knowledge of Bloom’s taxonomy is vital for nurse educators to ask appropriate questions at various levels (Oermann, 2016, p. 165). Therefore, having a basic knowledge of Bloom’s taxonomy assists nurse educators to develop an informational database, especially at the lowest level before moving forward to the upper levels in the cognitive domain. The tool is used to classify nursing learning objectives and to evaluate nurse student’s strengths. When an inquiry is made in word necessary to classify the test questions, particularly at the lowest level of the cognitive domain, nurse educators will provide a correct response. As such, this could be the reason why a large percentage of the questions are observed at a lower level compared to a higher order level in the based on Bloom’s hierarchy (Xu, 2016, p. 57). Therefore, as a nurse educator, my learning objectives using Bloom’s taxonomy is at the knowledge level.
Measurable objective: Explicate the benefits of evidence-based practice
This learning objective will expand my nursing knowledge and skills at the organization and policy level through increasing my understanding of what embodies evidence and how to integrate it within the organization.
Blooms Taxonomy: Understanding: The learning objective focuses on the concept of understanding in education which needs an investigation of the history of nursing practice.
Measurable Objective: Systematically evaluate students
Effective nurse leadership skills are crucial to the success of nurses; hence the need to expand nurse leadership through education.
Teaching Strategy and Evaluation
- The teaching strategy necessary is providing a lecture, which is the most commonly used instructional strategy. Teaching will be evaluated through the use of a pre and posttest.
- A case method will be necessary to enable students apply what is learned in class to a real-life patient care. Teaching will be evaluated by asking students to rate their learning.
- Active learning will enable students to listen and make a reflection while approaching course content in nursing. Teaching will be evaluated by using a checklist.
