Where are task-based language teaching methods, content-based instruction? 

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

Question 2: First pick up one teaching method from audiolingual, task-based language teaching methods, content-based instruction, total physical response, and cooperative language learning. Then, please give a full description on the method you pick up, including learners’ roles and teachers’ roles, major teaching steps, strengths and weaknesses, etc. Finally, please demonstrate the of the method in a language classroom by describing a teaching scenario where you use the method to teach one of the four language skills. 

Systems Theory and Practice Issues

 Purpose

The purpose of the graded collaborative discussions is to engage faculty and students in an interactive dialogue to assist the student in organizing, integrating, applying, and critically appraising knowledge regarding advanced nursing practice. Scholarly information obtained from credible sources as well as professional communication are required. Application of information to professional experiences promotes the analysis and use of principles, knowledge, and information learned and related to real-life professional situations. Meaningful dialogue among faculty and students fosters the development of a learning community as ideas, perspectives, and knowledge are shared. 

Activity Learning Outcomes 

Through this discussion, the student will demonstrate the ability to: 

  1. Examine roles and competencies of advanced practice nurses essential to performing as leaders and advocates of holistic, safe, and quality care (CO1) 
  2. Apply concepts of person-centered care to nursing practice situations (CO2) 
  3. Analyze essential skills needed to lead within the context of complex systems (CO3) 
  4. Explore the process of scholarship engagement to improve health and healthcare outcomes in various settings (CO4) 

 

Discussion Criteria

I.   Application of Course Knowledge: of Course Knowledge: 

The student post contributes unique perspectives or insights gleaned from personal experience or examples from the healthcare field. The student must accurately and fully discuss the topic for the week in addition to providing personal or professional examples. The student must completely answer the entire initial question. 

II.  Engagement in Meaningful Dialogue: I. The student responds to a student peer and course faculty to further dialogue.

a. Peer Response: The student responds substantively to at least one topic-related post by a student peer. A substantive post adds content or insights or asks a question that will add to the learning experience and/or generate discussion.  

  • A post of “I agree” with a repeat of the other student’s post does not count as a substantive post. A collection of shallow posts does not equal a substantive post.
  • The peer response must occur on a separate day from the initial posting.
  • The peer response must occur before Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.
  • The peer response does not require a scholarly citation and reference unless the information is paraphrased and/or direct quotes are used, in which APA style standards then apply.

Faculty Response: The student responds substantively to at least one question by course faculty. The faculty question may be directed to the student, to another student, or to the entire class.

  • A post of “I agree” with a repeat of the faculty’s post does not count as a substantive post. A collection of shallow posts does not equal a substantive post.
  • The faculty response must occur on a separate day from the initial posting.
  • Responses to the faculty member must occur by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT.
  • This response does not require a scholarly citation and reference unless the information is paraphrased and/or direct quotes are used, in which APA style standards then apply.

III.  Integration of Evidence: The student post provides support from a minimum of one scholarly in-text citation with a matching reference AND assigned readings OR online lessons, per discussion topic per week.

  1. What is a scholarly resource? A scholarly resource is one that comes from a professional, peer-reviewed publication (e.g., journals and government reports such as those from the FDA or CDC).
    • Contains references for sources cited
    • Written by a professional or scholar in the field and indicates credentials of the author(s)
    • Is no more than 5 years old for clinical or research article
  2. What is not considered a scholarly resource?
    • Newspaper articles and layperson literature (e.g., Readers Digest, Healthy Life Magazine, Food, and Fitness)
    • Information from Wikipedia or any wiki
    • Textbooks
    • Website homepages
    • The weekly lesson
    • Articles in healthcare and nursing-oriented trade magazines, such as Nursing Made Incredibly Easy and RNMagazine (Source: What is a scholarly article.docx; Created 06/09 CK/CL Revised: 02/17/11, 09/02/11 nlh/clm)
  3. Can the lesson for the week be used as a scholarly source?
    • Information from the weekly lesson can be cited in a posting; however, it is not to be the sole source used in the post.
  4. Are resources provided from CU acceptable sources (e.g., the readings for the week)?
    • Not as a sole source within the post. The textbook and/or assigned (required) articles for the week can be used, but another outside source must be cited for full credit. Textbooks are not considered scholarly sources for the purpose of discussions.
  5. Are websites acceptable as scholarly resources for discussions?
    • Yes, if they are documents or data cited from credible websites. Credible websites usually end in .gov or .edu; however, some .org sites that belong to professional associations (e.g., American Heart Association, National League for Nursing, American Diabetes Association) are also considered credible websites. Websites ending with .com are not to be used as scholarly resources

IV.  Professionalism in Communication: The post presents information in logical, meaningful, and understandable sequence, and is clearly relevant to the discussion topic. Grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation are accurate.

V.  Wednesday Participation Requirement: The student provides a substantive response to the graded discussion question(s) or topic(s), posted by the course faculty (not a response to a peer), by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT of each week.

VI.  Total Participation Requirement: The student provides at least three substantive posts (one to the initial question or topic, one to a student peer, and one to a faculty question) on two different days during the week.

Presidential Agendas

 

Regardless of political affiliation, every citizen has a stake in healthcare policy decisions. Hence, it is little wonder why healthcare items become such high-profile components of presidential agendas. It is also little wonder why they become such hotly debated agenda items.

Consider a topic that rises to the presidential level. How did each of the presidents (Trump, Obama, and Bush) handle the problem? What would you do differently?

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the importance of agenda setting.
  • Consider how federal agendas promote healthcare issues and how these healthcare issues become agenda priorities.
