Question

Boris is studying to become a nursing assistant. His class is taking place at the hospital with a registered nurse. She takes the class through the process of getting vital signs of a patient. The RN then breaks the class into four groups and assigns a group to each patient. The groups then practice taking the vital signs of the patient. Which describes the type of learning that happened in Boris’s class?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Physical or Kinesthetic and Social learning.

Explanation:

The types of learning that happened during Boris's class are:

Kinesthetic: In this type of learning you use your body, hands or touch to help you get new information. It's about action and movement. You physically touch objects to know how they work, this could help memorize information. As the registered nurse decided to work with real patients, the students could really feel the vital signs.

Social: In this type of learning the work is done by many people, in groups, and not just one individual. It gets easier to obtain or memorize new information when working in teams. There are so many different ideas that can contribute to the problem's solution. In this case, the registered nurse decided to break the class into four groups and assign each one a patient.

Answer 2

The nurse is demonstrating the process of taking vital signs, then the students practice taking vital signs. This is observational learning.
