Teaching Plan Victoria Nguyen West Coast University - Ontario Teaching Plan Learning is a unique process that differs from individuals due to the style in which they learn. Learning style refers to visual, kinesthetic, and auditory routes, which are the three perceptual pathways or modalities of learning (Miller Stoeckel, 2011, p.155). The visual pathway involves sight, and how an individual benefits best through visual stimulation such as reading, pictures, movies, etc. (Miller Stoeckel, 2011, p. 155). A kinesthetic learner, which focuses on body, sensation, and motion, benefits most from hands-on activities that include field-trips, computer assisted instruction, or models (Miller Stoeckel, 2011, p. 155).†¦show more content†¦Information or skills needed by a patient must be taught at a level that is comprehendible by the patient. The patient’s physical and cognitive ability to learn must be considered (Potter, Perry, Stockert Hall, 2013, p.336). Ms. Patterson completed the 9th grade, and has a 5th grade reading level whic h must be considered when giving her any information. Verbal discussion, reading material, etc. must all be within her level of understanding. Ms. Patterson’s prior experiences with teaching, hospitalizations, or problems must be taken into consideration because it may influence her ability or need to learn (Potter, Perry, Stockert Hall, 2013, p. 335). Readiness to learn deals with a patient’s willingness and ability to become involved in a given learning activity, their aroused interest or curiosity to learn, their experiential background, and physiologic/developmental maturation (Miller Stoeckel, 2011, p. 97). It is most intense when a patient’s life situation necessitates new knowledge, attitudes or skills. The first level of readiness to learn involves the patient verbalizes no interest in health education and avoids the topic; the patient holds the medical team solely responsible for their health and lacks the abilities required for learning (Miller Stoe ckel, 2011, p. 98). The second level of readiness to learn consists of the client verbalizing some interest in health education and willingness to follow some health team
