Nursing Education: Learning Styles Essay

Student success a - endeavor. The student give 100% instructor provide students a 100%. The student responsibility prepared learn material assigned, turn assignments time, pay attention taught discussed, questions needed.

This will affect student performance in class and there is little the teacher can do over the course of one semester to cure these intractable social ills. Teachers can try to psychologically motivate students to care more about the material by using interesting pedagogical techniques and also simply showing enthusiasm about the subject matter themselves.

Although knowledge is important, simply possessing knowledge is not analogous to teaching: teachers must try to reach out to students to make them understand why the subject matter is exciting in a way that is comprehensible to the student. This is the core of what it means to be learner-centered. However, students also have….....
