Description
This assignment comes in 3 parts. Part 1 and 2 are discussions. Part 3 is the assignment. Each discussion needs 250-300 words with1 reference and 2 peer responses per discussion with 100 words and 1 reference. APA 7 edition. For the assignment, please follow the instructions below
Part 1 Discussion1
What is your position on assigning grades based on a curve (a relative scale)? Explain and defend your position.
Part 2 Discussion 2
Clinical performance evaluation is subjective and involves the judgments of the evaluator. It is filtered by the evaluator’s perspective, values, and biases. With this in mind, select three clinical evaluation strategies that you believe are fair and accurate in order to measure student learning, and determine their competency and safety in the clinical setting. Explain your rationale for why you selected each of the strategies, and how they align with your personal philosophy of teaching. Make sure the strategies that you selected include ways to evaluate students cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains of learning.
Part 3 Assignment

Personal Philosophy of Teaching
Teachers play critical roles in educating their students to ensure they acquire relevant
skills, knowledge, and career experience. Teachers need to ensure that the learning and teaching
process effectively meet the goals and objectives of education (Szymkowiak et al., 2020). I work
as a teacher in the nursing profession to educate nursing students on how to perform nursing
roles when delivering care to their patients. Nursing education involves embracing different
learning and teaching approaches to ensure nursing students acquire the highest level of
knowledge to deliver high-quality care and improve the health outcomes of their patients. Thus,
nursing education aims to prepare nursing students to become highly qualified graduate nurses to
address the psychological and physiological needs of their patients effectively. As a nurse
educator, I ensure that nursing students are highly trained because I embrace a unique personal
philosophy of teaching. When developing my teaching philosophy, I ensure it is flexible and
sustainable in integrating key skills, knowledge, and ideas with my students.
My philosophy of teaching is influenced by my desire and passion to ensure every
student in nursing education acquires holistic education. Thus, my philosophy of teaching as a
nurse educator is that the teaching and learning process should integrate ideas from the teacher
and the students. This philosophy focuses on several essential elements that create a perfect
learning and teaching environment. First, the primary role of a teacher is to act as a guide. The
second element is to ensure students have access to hands-on activities. Students are also
privileged to choose and allow their curiosity to direct their learning. My teaching philosophy
also ensures that students can practice their skills in a good environment and learn how to
embrace technology in the learning process. For example, I educate my nursing students on how
to use health technology to deliver healthcare services. Therefore, learning occurs when the
3
teacher and the students engage each other to ensure the objectives of the learning and teaching
process are met.
My goal as an instructor is to ensure every student access learning materials and access
education in a good classroom environment. Therefore, I use different teaching strategies and
methods to achieve this goal. First, I use lecturing as a teaching method that helps me to present
information to my students. My lectures involve lecturing technology, such as interactive
software applications, videos, and polling technology, to make learning interesting. I also use
high-fidelity simulation when teaching nursing students because it helps to recreate clinical
scenarios to ensure they understand the patient care environment. I also use concept mapping
when teaching my nursing students to ensure they represent their ideas visually. As an instructor,
I use online courses to teach my students. Online courses enable me to prepare different learning
materials such as discussion forums, websites, videos, and literature. I also use online courses to
administer online tests to assess my students. I use these methods to teach my students to make
learning active and create an engaging classroom environment.
My teaching facilitates student learning in several ways. First, it improves student
engagement by ensuring they pay attention and participate in learning activities. It also creates
stronger student relationships because they appreciate group work that allows them to share
ideas, interact, and learn from one another. My teaching also facilitates student learning by
ensuring they develop soft skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, critical thinking, and
effective communication. Lastly, my teaching facilitates student learning by promoting selfguided learning that helps improve students’ decision-making and critical-thinking abilities.
In conclusion, my teaching philosophy has enabled me to provide the best education and
training to my nursing students. I have incorporated different teaching methods and strategies.

However, I anticipate implementing more teaching methods in the future. For example, I plan to
use teaching strategies such as games, role-playing, jigsaw classrooms, case studies, debating,
and problem-based learning to ensure my students gain more knowledge and skills.
