NR 535 Week 2 Assignment: Personal Philosophy of
Teaching and Learning
Slide 1:
Hello, my name is Annie West and this is my Week 2 assignment for course nr535 that includes
a PowerPoint of my personal philosophy of teaching and learning.
Slide 2:
As an MSN prepared nurse, I intend to utilize my skills as a nurse educator in an academic
setting such as a ADN program. Responsibilities of a nurse educator in an academic setting
include:
-designing a curriculum that meets the needs of healthcare, the students, and the community
-assessing learning needs and tendencies of students and tailoring the education to meet those
needs
-helping students to identify their learning needs, strengths, and limitations, and identifying
learning opportunities that will build upon strengths and help to overcome limitations
-implementing teaching strategies that aid in the learning process and acquisition of knowledge
-evaluating learning
(Oermann, 2022).
Slide 3: Overview of Philosophy
What is a philosophy of nursing?
Summary of values, ethics, beliefs, and motivations for being a nurse. It focuses on perspectives
regarding nursing practice and patient care. A nursing philosophy identifies the beliefs and
theories that shape nursing practice (Cheraghi et al., 2019).
My nursing philosophy:
In my teaching, I intend to utilize a humanistic or person-centered approach to promote
learning. I believe that everyone learns differently. This is attributed to different life
experiences, learning habits, preferences, and interests. Education should be focused on
identifying the learner’s individual needs, current knowledge, and learning goals. I also believe
that people learn best when they are allowed to participate in the planning of their education
and the content is of relevance to them. Lastly, I believe in the benefit of a hands-on approach
to teaching and learning that allows the learner to walk through the steps of the content and
allows them to process the information and relate the content to their current knowledge while
utilizing critical thinking to solve problems.
-Core beliefs regarding the purpose of nursing education:

, I believe that the purpose of nursing education is to prepare graduate nurses who can meet
diverse patient needs, utilize nursing and critical thinking skills to deliver safe, high-quality care,
and work effectively with healthcare professionals in a complex, ever-changing environment.
So, how does this happen??? Effective education.
Core beliefs regarding the role of the nurse educator?
Nurse educators play a vital role in mentoring students and ensuring that they receive a high-
quality education (Mthiyane & Habedi, 2018). I believe the role of a nurse educator to be to
improve nursing education and facilitate learning and growth. Nurse educators should have an
adequate understanding of learning theories because they are a necessary component of
evidence-based educational practice. Understanding learning theories aids in the selection of
the most appropriate teaching strategies, learning objectives, and approaches to assessment
and evaluation based on the diverse needs of the student population. It also helps improve
learning and knowledge when the educator can integrate the concepts from various learning
theories into their educational practice (Mukhalalati & Taylor, 2019).
Also, to support the development of student nurses by utilizing teaching methods and concepts
that are consistent with current evidence-based practice.
Core beliefs regarding learner characteristics:
I believe the learner must take responsibility for their growth by remaining motivated to learn
and receptive to feedback from educators. They must also take ownership of their actions by
exhibiting academic integrity and honesty.
Core beliefs regarding the variables that influence the teaching and learning process:
How is learning measured? Learning takes place when knowledge is acquired and applied to
practice (Pivac et al., 2021). A major influencer of the success of a teaching-learning
relationship is a positive relationship between the educator and the student. Communication is
essential in the creation of an effective educational relationship. It allows for needs to be
addressed and expectations to be identified. Another factor is the educator’s ability to assess
the learning needs and tendencies of the student. With successful identification and utilization
of teaching strategies to effectively meet those needs, an environment conducive to learning is
then created.
Application of Educational Theory:
With an MSN degree as a nurse educator, I intend to teach in an associate degree nursing (ADN)
program. From my experience, many people taking courses at an ADN facility are adult learners
who are either continuing their education in the same career field or are returning to school
seeking a second career or a career change. An educational theory that I feel supports my
nursing philosophy and beliefs about teaching and learning is Knowles’ Theory of Andragogy.
This theory focuses specifically on adult learning and follows four principals: 1-adults need to be
