Discuss assessment of motivation (external and internal) with your preceptor
Nursing education
Order Description
As you have been collecting information about your learners through observing them and interacting with them over the last few weeks, you may have begun to pinpoint which students are more motivated and enthusiastic. This week discuss assessment of motivation (external and internal) with your preceptor and discuss the following in your reflective response.
Organize your response in a report format, as follows:
• Describe your process for assessing motivational levels of your learners.
• Discuss the results of your assessment: The variety of levels of motivation.
• Hypothesize why less motivated students might be that way and how you will determine what lies beneath their lack of motivation.
• Examine the readiness of this group and how you came to your conclusion.
• Explain how you will use this information to influence your selection of teaching strategies.
Be sure you write this journal “off-line” and then copy/paste to this discussion forum (do not upload as a Word document). This will be something you will want to look back at as you progress forward in your upcoming role as a nurse educator.
Tie your discussion to QSEN, IOM recommendations, your personal goals, course objectives, NLN Nurse Educator competencies, and South University’s College of Nursing Conceptual Framework Pillars (Caring, Communication, Critical Thinking, Professionalism, and Holism).
