Tobacco Use Teaching Methods
Introduction
Choosing the correct teaching method is important to help the learner retain and learn information in an effective and efficient way. Tobacco use is a health related topic that needs further education and intervention from a nurse. Group discussion and demonstration, and return demonstration are two teaching methods of interest to me, which I believe will be beneficial to use when educating a small group of five people about this health-related topic are. Group discussion involves the deliverance of medical information or education to a small group of individuals which may include their family so information, opinions can be exchanged with the nurse. This is simple way to deliver information to more than one person at one time if time management is a concern, and the nurse is able to build trust and rapport with the group as a whole. Demonstration and return demonstration works more effectively in a small group and involves education or teaching with the nurse and learner(s). This method also allows time for feedback from both parties. The nurse gives the learner a demonstration of a task to perform and the learner has to attempt to carry out the task back showing competence, and the nurse is on standby to give cues as needed.
Group discussions Group discussions are beneficial as this teaching method is useful as it allows the learners to share information about their personal experiences and is both economically and time
|With group learning, peer assessment can also be utilised which can be a valuable tool. Some learners will respond better to feedback |
If a pupil is given the opportunity to discuss their learning either with a teacher or one of their peers then they will develop a deeper understanding of their learning which can build confidence, raise their self esteem and motivate them as students.
Guidance, coaching or mentoring discussions where-upon everyone is involved in the discussion, also to split into groups and form mini groups within the core discussion. By encouraging open forums and encouraging listening skillsthis will
range of contexts, purposes and audiences use discussion in order to learn; they should be able to elaborate and explain clearly
Group activity can also be an opportunity for individual children to be heard and to develop relationship with other children. Here are different group activities which will give individual children to be heard such a:-
Tobacco is the common name of the plant Nicotiana tabacum and to a limited extent Nicotiana rustica and the cured leaf that is used, usually after aging and processing in various ways for smoking, chewing, snuffing and the extraction of nicotine, the principal alkaloid of tobacco.(4) The species N. tabacum has never been found to grow in the wild.(1) The use of the word tobacco is generally accepted as referring to the products of the tabacum species and so it will be in what follows. Tobacco holds an unparalleled position among crop plants in the world such as:
6. Group study is extremely useful because discussions will help make the material and concepts easier to remember and deepen your understanding. You will be asked to work in small groups in class—take advantage of this learning opportunity!
This is important for those students are they can contribute when they are comfortable sharing personal experiences and beliefs and when they are comfortable to use the English language thus avoiding confrontation with the teacher. For students that have difficult behaviour the intention of using class discussion to provide a space where they can learn to empathise with other people in the classroom and engage with the discussion as an outlet for their need of attention. Class discussions are used widely because they can provide benefits on so many different levels for classroom management and for differentiation.
This is why I also employ the constructivism technique of collaborative groups in my classroom to give students the opportunity to discuss ideas with their peers and make reasonable conclusions about what they are learning. My classroom is arranged with student desks placed in small groups, which allows students to direct their attention to the front of the room when needed, yet they can turn and collaborate with their peers during group work.
Which one is better and why? If I had to pick which is better it would be the group discussion as it allows room to socialize, gather different views from different cultural backgrounds, gather resources and opinions and it promotes feeling of belonging. The self-instruction is also great but I would be more concern with isolation and procrastination.
Generally group learning is cost effective for employers, employees/learners and providers. Enabling continued and multi use of materials, resources and facilities. Group learning also ensures a consistent, common message and programme.
The characteristics of my job will require focusing on the advantages and the disadvantages of one-to-one instruction and that of demonstration and return demonstration. Group discussions, team-based learning, cooperative learning, and seminars are instructional areas for which I can recommend my patients to attend. One-on-one instruction allows the exchange of information between the nurse and patient with regards to the characteristics of the patient, behavioral objectives, educator skills, and selection of appropriate teaching material (Bastable, 2014, p. 509). The communication skills are vital for nursing to create a relationship with the patient that would create an environment conducive to teach. Demonstration and return demonstration allows a nurse to show how to perform particular skills and evaluate the reacceptance of the skill by observing the patient perform it with minimal assistance (Bastable, 2014, p. 483). These instructional methods are stretched out over the course of the patient’s stay and are not the sole focus of teaching only at discharge. I take advantage of teaching moments throughout the shift to help plan for an effective final discharge instructions. This hand on approach allows teaching moments to have a positive affect on clients when presented with written material and information upon
Group discussions are used to discuss questions and go over parts that could be confusing. Students can initiate discussions while in small groups and peers can join in and share their insight. Students can get together in groups during class out in the hallways or they can discuss elsewhere.
During the group discussions it helped me earn feedback from my different peers in the class and view the different thoughts and ideas that my fellow classmates had. When writing an essay, having different classmates review my work and give feedback helped me learn more about myself and other people. It helped me learn that people will always have a different point of view when it comes to writing, and I also learned that peer reviews are a precise and beneficial way of showing different ideas and showing mistakes that I made in my essay. This also contributed to my overall improvements of
With knowledge gained from previous experience, I knew that the students I would be teaching were comfortable with a variety of learning methods, but work more effectively when a practical or group task is set. I shall therefore tailor my resources to promote this type of learning within my teaching group.
