VARK Analysis Paper

Learning styles represent the different approaches to learning based on preferences, weaknesses, and strengths. For learners to best achieve the desired educational outcome, learning styles must be considered when creating a plan. Complete “The VARK Questionnaire,” located on the VARK website, and then complete the following:

1. Click “OK” to receive your questionnaire scores.
2. Once you have determined your preferred learning style, review the corresponding link to view your learning preference.
3. Review the other learning styles: visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal (listed on the VARK Questionnaire Results page).
4. Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.
5. Examine how awareness of learning styles has influenced your perceptions of teaching and learning.

In a paper (750-1,000 words), summarize your analysis of this exercise and discuss the overall value of learning styles. Include the following:

1. Provide a summary of your learning style according the VARK questionnaire.
2. Describe your preferred learning strategies. Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.
3. Describe how individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can understand or perform educational activities. Discuss the importance of an educator identifying individual learning styles and preferences when working with learners.
4. Discuss why understanding the learning styles of individuals participating in health promotion is important to achieving the desired outcome. How do learning styles ultimately affect the possibility for a behavioral change? How would different learning styles be accommodated in health promotion?

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. 

Quantitative Data Analysis Activity

Instructions: Read each table and answer the questions below each one. 

Reading Descriptive Tables

1. How many nurses total were in the sample?

2. How many GICU nurses assessed the patient prior to suctioning?

3. What percentage of GICU nurses failed to prepare he patient prior to suctioning?

4. How many GICU nurses did not prehyperoxygenate prior to suctioning?

5. What percentage of CICU nurses did not instill NaCl prior to suctioning?

Reading Correlational Tables

1. Which pair of variables have a strong positive correlation?

2. Which pairs of variables have a moderate negative correlation?

3. Which pair of variables has the weakest correlation? Is it positive or negative?

4. What is the correlation coefficient for social support and adaptive problem solving? Name the direction and strength of the relationship. 

5. What is the correlation coefficient for HF symptoms and depressive symptoms? Name the direction and strength of the relationship.

6. Which pairs of variables are statistically significant at the p < 0.05 level?

Reading OR/RR Tables

1. How many participants were in the sample?

2. How many smokers experienced delayed healing?

3. What three complications have the lowest RR?

4. In plain language, interpret the statistics for delayed healing in relation to smokers.

5. In plain language, interpret the statistics for nerve injury in relation to smokers.

Ans tab. 1

1. CICU nurses sample was 17. The number of samples is identified by n=17.

2. GICU nurses sample is 28(n=28)

3. Patient assessment involves auscultation of patient chest prior to suctioning. Among the 17 CICU nurses, only 2 nurses auscultated prior to suctioning.

4. Patient preparation includes communication aspects also. Among the 17 CICU nurses, 0% percentage of nurses failed to communicate. This means all 17 nurses communicated with the patient prior to suctioning.

5. Prehyperoxygenation is not given by 7 nurses in total. It includes 1cicu nurse and 6 general icu nurses.

6. No nurses from both icu instilled Saline prior to suctioning. So the answer is 0% of nurses instilled saline prior to suctioning.

Where can you find evidence to inform your thoughts and scholarly writing? Throughout your degree program, you will use research literature to explore ideas, guide your thinking, and gain new insights. As you search the research literature, it is important to use resources that are peer-reviewed and from scholarly journals. You may already have some favorite online resources and databases that you use or have found useful in the past. For this Discussion, you explore databases available through the Walden Library.

To Prepare:

• Review the information presented in the Learning Resources for using the Walden Library, searching the databases, and evaluating online resources.
• Begin searching for a peer-reviewed article that pertains to your practice area and interests you.

Post the following:

Using proper APA formatting, cite the peer-reviewed article you selected that pertains to your practice area and is of particular interest to you and identify the database that you used to search for the article. Explain any difficulties you experienced while searching for this article. Would this database be useful to your colleagues? Explain why or why not. Would you recommend this database? Explain why or why not.

Strategies for detecting elderly abuse in nursing homes

Writing My Abstract 

1. Formulate the Abstract section of your selected topic.  

Make sure that your Abstract contains the following sub-sections:

* Background Information on the Problem

* The Objective of the Study

* Method Used

* Interpretation of the Results

* Conclusion & Recommendations for Future Research

Example:

Background: The temporary protective status (TPS) is a document granted by USCIS to eligible nationals of certain countries, who are already in the US. It was granted to the Haitian community after the earthquake back in 2010 Objective: The purpose of this study is to explain why Haitian with TPS should be granted a green card. Method: For this research study, a meta-analysis method was used. Various data relating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) were collected and specifically sorted. The information was compared to a narrow path regarding solely to the Haitian community. Results: TPS has received many extensions over the past ten years; now it is just a question of when the US government will close their eyes on the Haitians people. This uncertainty causes many fears in the community. Conclusion: The research will help know whether Haitian in the US with TPS will get a green card and which way. Furthermore, this study will help a lot of Haitian living in USA, also those that might come temporarily to know the stress they will be facing. Recommendations: It is recommended that future research be done to collect more information on legalization like asylum, family-based citizenship through USCIS, and conduct quantitative-qualitative studies on the same topic.
