Learning styles and Nursing Education

9/20/2014

1 Comment

 
Learning styles are often under emphasized in nursing education and take a back seat to educational strategies. But learning styles enhance the way in which a student learns and this certainly extends into the growth and development of critical thinking. A student who requires visual resources to move beyond remembering to analysis, for example, will have difficulty doing that if only verbal resources are utilized in class or provided as theory adjuncts. Since a particular learning style defines the thought processes used in taking nursing actions, isn't it fair to say that the same process is used in formulating nursing actions? I believe it does. 
Also, learning styles are part of us and the way we learn our whole lives. It's helpful to learn more and incorporate your learning style in each and every learning situation. In addition to making learning easier, it enables a better understanding of how we think and act.

    Wisdom is the basis for our nursing practice. I want to reach out to and welcome all nurses and nursing students; to educate them in cultivating this most essential skill. This is the essence of nursing.
