Introduction and organisation of assignment 2) -Develops a clear discussion using literature to support the discussion 3) -Describes personal learning styles and indicates own preferred learning styles/s 4) -Describes a specified learning environment, including staff mix 5) -Discusses the strengths and weakness of the identified learning styles in relation to their application to others in the specified learning environment 6) -Conclusion This learning task will help you analyse your learning style. A knowledge of your own and others' preferred learning styles can be of great benefit to your studies as well as any aspect of your life that involves teaching and learning. 1). Outline how you learn best - do you need a quiet environment / do you take notes / do you listen / what works best for you? 2). Identify your personal learning styles using a range of learning styles (such as VAK) 3). Look for literature about your learning style and learning styles in general. 4). Examine why or why not the personal learning style identified is reflective of you and how you learn, or is it just another theory 5). Go to the literature and look at what various authors have to say about learning styles - look at the positives and the critique 6). Describe your work learning environment / including the skill mix. (Skill mix = the levels and grade of workers -ie the number of Registered Nurses, Enrolled Nurses, Assistants in Nursing / trained versus untrained). What are the challenges of educating this diverse group of people, (who will all have different learning styles 7). Consider how your learning styles impact on others, for example how you teach others, or how you interact with others when working in a group. Does your learning style make it difficult for others around you? Does their learning style make it difficult for you? On reflection how can you alter the situation? 8). How can practice development help to ensure congruency of learning styles? - Look at the literature on practice development and learning - does it have anything to say? The best place to start would be the Practice Development textbook recommended for this subject Marking Criteria • Introduction and organisation of assignment • Purpose of assignment is identified • Assignment is clearly structured • Abstract (5 marks) • Develops a clear discussion using literature to support the discussion (20 marks) • Describes personal learning styles (5 marks) • Describes a specified learning environment, including the staff mix (7 marks) • Discusses the strengths and weakness of the identified learning styles in relation to their application to the identified learning environment (20 marks) • Conclusion (3 marks)
