Do you think it is fair to say that virtue ethics, as Tamar Gendler explains this moral theory, is a type of human programming and, if so, does this view challenge or undercut the idea of good human behavior as a matter of choice rather than response without thought? Explain.

Virtue essay

According to Sommers, what is the main problem today and what is her basic answer both in terms of content and scope? And then, from the lecture by Dr.

Gendler, explain how we can turn normative commitments into descriptive laws and what does it mean to do that, according to her explanation of Aristotle’s virtue ethics (video link)?

Do you think it is fair to say that virtue ethics, as Tamar Gendler explains this moral theory, is a type of human programming and, if so, does this view challenge or undercut the idea of good human behavior as a matter of choice rather than response without thought? Explain.

Do you think this approach of Professor Gendler to how virtue ethics becomes part of us goes along with Professor Sommers’ on what is needed in schools today or not? Explain. Finally, what part of Christina Sommers’ analysis and proposal you find convincing, if any, and what part of it, if any, do you find questionable?

What draws you to the subject? What is your role in it? Who else is involved, if anyone? What structure works best as a framework for the piece – a list, a chronology, a definition, a structured argument, a narrative, the interview form, something else?

Writing Project One: Defining an Idea Using Narrative and Description.

This writing project can be classified as an essay of creative nonfiction. At college level, this essay builds on skills you may have used to write a personal essay in high school, but this essay focuses on defining an idea through the use of narrative and description.

Students are encouraged to draw upon their life experiences for creative material and ideas for content. Journaling to generate ideas can be helpful. The concept, voice, and style of the piece may surface in one form or another as work on journal material progresses.

Your idea might concern a problem or issue or an interest. Do not feel obligated to work chronologically. Initial paragraphs, even the first few pages, may simply be warm-ups.

As you begin working on this project, consider the basic elements.

What draws you to the subject? What is your role in it? Who else is involved, if anyone? What structure works best as a framework for the piece – a list, a chronology, a definition, a structured argument, a narrative, the interview form, something else?

Does the use of narrative involve several narratives or focus on different aspects of one narrative? What meaning does the story have? Meaning points to the idea you are trying to explain.

What is the essential notion you wish to impart to the reader? What emotion? Respond to these questions in your journal or notebook as you develop your idea.

Learning and Assessing in Contemporary Nursing

Each outcome needs to be roughly 600 words and rest of it introduction and conclusion.

It needs to contain critical reflection on the micro teaching activity.(nursing)

LO1 Learning and Teaching-

1) Teaching session( writer needs to choose teaching event specific for nursing( canal dressing, using nebuliser, wound dressing, promotion of self care/self-management (OSCA)-this involves student interaction with service user/patient/carer, where the purpose of that interaction is to promote self-care or self-management For example- teaching person/patient how to administer their own medications.

2) needs to contain critical analysis

3) needs to include lesson plan (must be at the appendix)

This LO1 needs to contain-

1) what is learning

-learning theories

-learning styles

-lesson planning

2)Domains of learning

-cognitive(knowledge)

-psychomotor(skills)

-affective(attitude)

How do we support learning?

-resources (exm. if we support 3 domains whith resources, what would we choose? Did we use anything to support our teaching. This may have helped the learner/patient to understand the aim of the teaching or helped “the penny dropped”(the Gestalt theory”).

The environment-how does impact the learning(learning space, the noice, the distraction, the resources, the area around(exm. too small bed).

-transmission of knowledge

Learning Theories-

1)behaviourism

2)cognitivism

3)humanism(Maslow)

4)experimental(Kolp 1985)

Learning styles-

1) Honey and Mumford(based on Kolb’s work)

2)VARK(visual, aurial, read/write, kinaesthetik)

3)Kolb- learning style invertory

The writer needs to follow Level 6 writing!

Learning strategies

-cognitive side of learning

5 min Lesson Plan

LO2 Assessment and feedback

-Why we assess?

-What makes the assessment good( environment etc.)?

-assessment methods

-competence

-expectations from the learner

Feedback

-what is feedback(NMC code of conduct-2018, Fry (2014)

-advocacy(explain) and enquiry(ask)

Pendelton’s rules

-subject(learner gives positive feedback_

-observer(faciliator) gives positive aspect

-subject gives areas for improvement

-observer gives areas for improvement

-feedback models(“sandwich model”)

LO3 Policies and Drivers

Critically evaluate how policies and organisational drivers influence teaching and learning in contemporary nursing.

This section can move away from the focus of my teaching session trough me and may wish to retain that theme. Alternatively you can now present a more broad view of the drivers and policy that influence education in practice.

-Educational Outcomes Framework

The writer can use as much he need references (less or more than 25) and needs to follow his own preferences.
