Teaching Philosophy There are different learning and teaching styles that foster the environment of nursing education. I believe as an educator, it is important to recognize the learning styles of your students, so you can adapt to meet their needs. As such with teaching, there are different teaching styles for different personal teaching preferences. With nursing education, there is a blend between classroom and clinical environments for teaching. Incorporating the various teaching and learning methods assists in creating a successful learning environment. I consider myself to have a Humanism approach to the philosophy of nursing education. Humanism supports that the education must provide for learner autonomy and respect their dignity. It also must help individuals achieve self-actualization by developing their full potential. Supporting this philosophy I believe and follow Patricia Benner’s concept of “from novice to expert” in which nurses develop skills and an understanding of patient care over time from a combination of education foundation and personal experiences. I feel that the learning environment with nursing education should be a welcoming, collaborative environment that incorporates participation of the students and faculty. The environment of nursing education should include multiple components, including: classroom, clinical sites and especially simulation labs. The professional nurse needs to be respectful and culturally competent of the diverse population. The educator should treat their students: with respect, dignity, and understanding of different cultural, and religious beliefs.
