Cognitive learning
Involves the storing and recalling of new knowledge in the brain and includes intellectual behaviors such
as the acquisition of knowledge, comprehension, application (using abstract ideas in concrete
situations), analysis (relating ideas in an organized way), synthesis (assimilating parts of information as a
whole), and evaluation (judging the worth of a body of information).
Psychomotor learning
,Learning a physical skill involving the integration of mental and muscular activity.
Affective learning
Includes changes in attitudes, values, and feelings.
Evaluation of learning
The key to evaluation is the learner outcomes in the teaching plan that describe the behaviors to be
measured and the results of evaluation provide evidence to guide future action in planning and carrying
out educational interventions.
Methods of evaluation
There are several methods of evaluation of learning including oral questioning for cognitive domain
learning, patient response for affective domain learning, and return demonstration for psychomotor
domain learning.
Return demonstration
An excellent way of evaluating psychomotor domain learning that provides concrete evidence of
satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance of the procedure and should be conducted in a nonstressful
environment.
Direct questioning
An efficient method of evaluating learner outcomes in which the nurse asks the patient a question and
the answer reflects the patient's level of knowledge about a topic and can also be used to evaluate
affective learning.
, Observation
A method used to determine whether the patient is using the material learned, such as observing
dietary selections, and is also used when evaluating psychomotor skills.
Timing of evaluation
Evaluation of learning is ongoing and should not only occur immediately after teaching because results
may be misleading; evaluation may occur the next day, during home visits, or after discharge through
contact with family members/caregivers.
Learner outcomes
Written in the same manner as patient outcomes in the nursing process and stated as desired or
expected patient behaviors rather than nursing interventions and should be measurable and guide
evaluation methods.
Long term outcomes -
General statements that may be met in an extended time frame.
Short term outcomes -
Specific behaviors to be accomplished within a specified time.
