This document discusses student characteristics and learning theories relevant to nursing education. It describes the profile of contemporary nursing students, including that most are younger than 30, from Generations Y and X, and predominantly female. It also outlines characteristics like ethnicity, disabilities, substance abuse, and mental health issues. The document then explains several learning theories used in education, including behavioral, social/cognitive, cognitive, constructivist, adult, and humanistic learning theories. Educators often draw from multiple theories to design effective teaching strategies tailored to learners, content, and environments.
The Relationship between student sense of belonging and college-going beliefs...Dr. Jamie Stagno-Steiner
Although there is an abundance of research on middle school counseling, college readiness and belonging, there is a gap in the research regarding middle school students
and attempts to correlate their sense of belonging to college-going beliefs. Research identifies eighth grade as a critical time in a student’s education in which they make
important post-secondary decisions. The research stressed that a student’s academic achievement was not only influenced by intellectual abilities, but by their school climate. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to identify a correlation between school- based factors, specifically a student’s sense of belonging, and college-going beliefs. One hundred eighty-four eighth-grade students from a diverse suburban middle school were
surveyed on their college-going beliefs as well as their sense of belonging. In addition, focus groups were facilitated to further explore how students felt about their school environment and post-secondary planning. The findings showed a significant statistical correlation between students’ sense of school belonging and college-going beliefs. This is significant because it begins to address the void in the research identifying how school
based factors are related to students’ college-going beliefs. Focus group data also enhanced quantitative findings by highlighting how students who described a positive sense of belonging in school had strong intentions and higher confidence for attending college after high school. The results of this research will help educators improve programs, develop stronger relationships with students and strengthen the curriculum to better prepare students for high school and beyond.

Teaching undergraduate college students is a complex process. From the standpoint of identity development, undergrads are emerging from adolescence, but they are not quite adults yet. When teaching any undergraduate class, considering the identity development of students is relevant, since undergrads vary in their level of development – and usually differ from the developmental level of their professors. When teaching a multicultural class to undergraduates, though, identity development becomes an even more critical issue for the instructor to be aware of – particularly cultural identity development. In teaching an undergraduate multicultural class, we would take these things into account. We propose a framework and outline for planning an undergraduate multicultural course.

Nursing students face numerous stresses and challenges that pose threat to their well-being. They require guidance in order to attain satisfactory adjustment in all aspects of daily life in this critical stage of their development. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the guidance needs of nursing students in selected schools in Iloilo City. The sample of this descriptive, comparative study consisted of 283 randomly selected students from four nursing schools in Iloilo City. The Guidance Needs Inventory for Nursing Students (GNINS) developed by the researchers was used to gather data. Frequency, mean, standard deviation, and rank were used to describe the data. Independent Samples t-Test and ANOVA set at 0.05 alpha were employed to find out significant differences between variables. The study revealed that nursing students need guidance to a moderate extent. They need more guidance on the aspects of career and academic. Further, results indicated no significant differences in the guidance needs of nursing students when grouped according to sex, gender, year level, residence, type of school, living arrangement, employment status of parents, monthly family income, number of siblings, birth order and type of family. Guidance remains to be an integral part of nursing education. Continued provision of guidance responsive and relevant to the needs of nursing student cohort is therefore necessary.

We set out herein to understand executive functioning for learners with autism. We focus on learners with high functioning autism (HFA) and explore a common goal for an Autistic Spectrum Disordered (ASD) population is to increase independence, thus enabling access to experiences and opportunities similar to neuro-typical individuals. We suggest in a somewhat counterintuitive manner, educators may be preventing this development by being overly supportive. This can inhibit ASD learners by denying tools and opportunities to enable themselves. Executive functioning (EF) skills can be taken for granted by neuro-typical learners but are essential skills that need to be explicitly taught to those on the autism spectrum. Herein we support educators and understand the deficits that learners with high functioning ASD experience with EF skills and encourage all to set goals and design programming for students.

The purpose of the present study is to analyze the differences between the lifestyle and the scholar culture from the university student’s perspective of five different schools. The results were obtained by a quantitative study, with a traversal design, open and observational, and they were derivate from a descriptive and comparative analysis with the ANOVA one factor test. The sample was took on a random way; the total of participants was of 890. The results showed that the principal characteristics from the university students´ lifestyle is exercise, sports practice, physical activity, health and unhealthy food ingest, alcohol consume, smoking and sedentary lifestyle. It was conclude that the university students have a Lifestyle that could be classify in three aspects, the first one, their free time (leisure), that is usually employ on social network and frequent alcohol consume. The second lifestyle aspect is related with the scholar culture, in this sense, is associated with dedication and compromise with the academic activities of their school (doing homework, projects, expositions and extracurricular activities) and the last one, their alimentation, which is characterized by consuming two kinds of food, healthy and unhealthy (high caloric content food). The schools in the Autonomous University of Coahuila are systemically working on the development of new strategies of cultural promotion for the integral development of their students.

identification of comorbid diagnoses in children with ADHD. Clinical Pediatrics, 54(4): 376-381.
The authors examine ADHD children with relevant comorbid conditions and medication prescribing habits based on comprehensive neurodevelopmental evaluations versus insurance limited evaluations to behavior management and medication. This was done using a retrospective review of medical records at the Center for Development and Learning Clinic. Data for demographics, comorbidities, medications, and interventions were analyzed for associations between groups. Results demonstrated that kids who received comprehensive evaluations had a greater degree of diagnosis for comorbidities. This stimulates the question of income levels and comprehensive evaluations in ADHD kids and comorbid conditions.

The authors examined the impact on parents who have a child with ADHD and comorbidities. Using the National Survey of Children’s Health dataset, they conducted a bivariate, multivariate, and descriptive analysis to look for associations between kids with ADHD and comorbid conditions and the strain on parents, social support, mother’s mental health, and local amenities. Results showed an increase in parental strain when caring for an ADHD child with a co-occurring condition. It also showed that lack of social support and lack of access to community amenities were predictors of increased parental strain. This study demonstrates the impact on the health of caregivers to ADHD children with comorbidities.

The authors examined the psychotropic medications usage of low-income kids who have been diagnosed with ADHD comparing those with and without comorbid conditions. The New York State Department of Health Medicaid Encounter Data System was used to extract information on 6,922 kids 3-19 years of age. A multivariate logistic regression was conducted to look at associations between ADHD with comorbid conditions and medication usage. Results showed the strongest predictors of medication use to be comorbid conditions and Social Security Income Medicaid eligible status. This study stimulates the question of the possibility for ADHD children with comorbidities to have treatment variations based on income status.

Generally defined as neurological disorders of the
brain that affects the way a person learns or
processes oral or written language and/or
mathematical concepts and reasoning (Frank, 2012).
Dyslexia
Attention Deficit Disorders
Memory Deficits
Difficulty with Reading and Writing
16. PHYSICAL DISABILITY

Hearing Loss
Speech Impairment
Spinal Cord Injury
Back Condition
Arthritis
Hemiplegic
Asthma
17. According to the National
Organization of Nurses with Disabilities (2006),
“While the number of nursing students and nurses
with disabilities is unknown, based on national
prevalence estimates defining disability according
to functional limitations (e.g., limitations in
functional activities including hearing, seeing,
walking, speaking, lifting and carrying, and
climbing stairs) 33 million (16%) Americans, aged
15 and above, experience one or more limitation in
physical function”.
18. SUBSTANCE ABUSE
The 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM-IV) definition is as follows:
A. A maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to clinically
significant impairment or distress, as manifested by one (or more)
of the following, occurring within a 12-month period:
Recurrent substance use resulting in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at
work, school, or home (e.g., repeated absences or poor work performance related
to substance use; substance-related absences, suspensions or expulsions from
school; neglect of children or household)
Recurrent substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous (e.g.,
driving an automobile or operating a machine when impaired by substance use)
Recurrent substance-related legal problems (e.g., arrests for substance-related
disorderly conduct
Continued substance use despite having persistent or recurrent social or
interpersonal problems caused or exacerbated by the effects of the substance
(e.g., arguments with spouse about consequences of intoxication, physical fights)
B. The symptoms have never met the criteria for Substance
Dependence for this class of substance.
19. According to the American Association of Colleges of
Nursing (2014), “Substance abuse and its sequelae,
addictive illness, can lead to serious physical,
psychological, and social problems ranging from loss
of employment to death. High school and college
students are in the segment of the population most
at risk: of the 13.9 million illicit drug users in the
United States, the highest rate of use is for those
between the ages of 16-20, the same age group that
includes the highest rate of heavy drinkers”
22. LEARNING THEORIES
“A learning theory is defined as a
coherent framework of integrated
constructs and principles that describe,
explain or predict how people learn”
(Keating, 2015, p. 65).
23. LEARNING THEORIES
Used alone or in combinations
Used by educators to facilitate the best
educational outcomes
Typically emphasizes the learner and
not the teacher
24. LEARING THEORIES
Behavioral Learning Theory
Social Cognitive Theory/Social Learning
Theory
Cognitive Learning Theory
Constructivist Learning Theory
Adult Learning Theory
Humanistic Learning Theory
25. BEHAVIORAL LEARNING THEORY
All behavior is learned, it can be shaped and rewarded
to achieve the desired outcome
Pavlov and Thorndike established behaviorism in the
19th century
Classical or Pavlovian conditioning
Operant conditioning
Reinforcement and Punishment
Highly structured learning environment
26. SOCIAL COGNITION/SOCIAL LEARNING
THEORY
People learn rules, skills, beliefs, attitudes, and
strategies by observing role models
This theory is attributed to Bandura
Role modeling
Observational learning
Personal beliefs such as self efficacy
Learning occurs in a social environment
27. COGNITIVE LEARNING THEORY
Focuses attention on internal, mental processes such
as thinking, memory, information processing, and
information organization
Attributed to the work of Gestalt psychologists in
early 1900’s
Students have an active role instead of passive role
Strategies for presenting content in many ways that
foster memory and understanding
Metacognition
Transformative learning
28. CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING THEORY
Learners construct their own version of what they
learn and understand
Based on the work of Piaget
Learners are not passive
Knowledge is subjective and personal
Social interactions are a critical aspect
Apprenticeship is supported by this theory
29. ADULT LEARNING THEORY
Adult learners bring vast knowledge and experiences
with a focus on real-world, relevant, practical issues
Adults learn differently than children
Problem centered and not content centered
Faculty and learners work together
Self directed
Flexibility to focus on self goals
30. HUMANISTIC LEARNING THEORY
Focuses on the development of the individual, with
self-actualization as the highest attainable level
Based on Maslow’s work
Carl Rogers contributed to the theory too
Emphasizes personal freedom, choice, self-determination
and self-actualization
Goals are to facilitate the learner’s positive attitude,
self-esteem, responsibility and enthusiasm
31. “In the real world of complex clinical
sites and busy classrooms, educators
draw from a variety of learning theories
for the teaching strategies that are
appropriate for a particular course,
learner and content” (Keating, 2015, p.
65).
