My Teaching Philosophy
This is a self-reflective declaration of my teaching and learning beliefs which I firmly believe. Students’ particular learning needs, learning styles, readiness, support systems, and cultural, and ethnic origins are all taken into account in nursing education. Learning is a lifelong process that takes place in the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains, progressing from simple to complex and aided by an environment that encourages them to apply theory into practice through critical thinking,evidence-based practice, informatics, clinical simulation experience,patient-centered care, and nursing process. And to address the unique learning styles and demands of our diverse students, I believe that nurse educators employ a variety of instructional methodologies/styles. Nurse Faculties are dedicated to aiding all students in achieving their professional goals by providing a supportive learning and personal growth environment in an easily accessible and pleasant learning setting. Nursing is distinguished by its focus on nursing activities, and processes that are aimed toward human beings, its bio-psycho-social, and spiritual aspects, its discoveries, research, and scholarships, and taking into account the environment in which humans live, and nursing practice takes place. The model of nursing, which identifies human beings(patients), the environment, health, and nursing as the subjective matter of concern to nurses, reflects this particular perspective.
