Questions to think about:
1. Identify the major learning styles and process discussed within the literature?
2. Do you feel more or less comfortable with any of these learning styles / methods?
3. Pay particular attention to the websites. Are these methods evident within the curriculum
you are involved in now? Do you think that these methods have merit (would they
enhance your own learning)?
Progress to Praxis
Write a summary of the ways you can strengthen your ability to learn based on your experience
in class. Consider how you can best use the knowledge on how you learn. Reflect on how you
can strengthen your less developed ways of learning.
How do you see yourself transferring the skills of collaboration, group process, and conflict
resolution developed in the nursing program to your practice as a nursing student?
