Teaching Strategies
In the dynamic field of education, the quality of instruction plays a pivotal role in fostering effective learning. Specifically, when designing a course, it is vital to consider learning outcomes, appropriate teaching strategies, managing potential barriers to learning, and strategies to maintain student motivation. This report, developed for a stress management course designed for ADN nursing students, seeks to detail these considerations using the latest peer-reviewed literature.
Learning Outcomes for the Course
The stress management course for Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) students is intricately designed with precise learning outcomes aimed to comprehensively address stress management issues among nursing students. The learning outcomes have been constructed upon the pillars of theoretical understanding, practical application, personal growth, and professional development. The course focuses on three primary learning outcomes: theoretical understanding, practical application, and personal growth. First, students should comprehend the concept of stress, including the distinction between eustress and distress, as well as the physiological and psychological responses it elicits.
Given the demanding nature of nursing, an understanding of stress’s impact on health is vital. Second, students must be able to identify personal stressors and apply stress management techniques such as relaxation exercises, time management, mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring. Thirdly, Students should utilize learned stress management techniques in their professional life, maintaining optimal productivity and quality of care. They should demonstrate the ability to manage work-related stressors, avoid burnout, and maintain a work-life balance. Finally, the course encourages personal growth by teaching students to self-evaluate and adapt these techniques to suit their needs and lifestyles, promoting improved resilience and emotional well-being (Khojanashvili et al., 2023).
These objectives are predicated on the assumption that nursing students are vulnerable to high stress due to the rigorous and demanding nature of their academic programs, as well as personal stressors they may be experiencing concurrently. The course presupposes that equipping nursing students with a comprehensive understanding of stress and effective management strategies can enhance not only their academic performance but also their personal well-being and future professional competence. Additionally, this course takes into account that students may have different levels of understanding and skills related to stress management at the outset, thus it is designed to cater to varied learning needs and paces (Madsgaard et al., 2022).
