Create a 6-7 minute video addressing the following questions/prompts: Briefly describe the ways that each of the major learning theories (behaviorist, cognitive, social learning, psychodynamic, and humanist) can be used to increase a behavior. Then, briefly describe the ways that each of these major theories can be used to decrease or extinguish a behavior. How can the learning theories be used in combination to change behavior and enhance learning? Discuss the following scenarios: You are a staff nurse preceptor, and you find that the nurse orientee you are working with has difficulty understanding the idea of titrating drug dosages on the basis of physiologic data. A weakness in which type(s) of learning might be underlying this problem? In addressing this orientee’s difficulty, what other information would you collect? You are preparing to counsel a nursing student who is failing a nursing course: How would your approach differ if you based your counseling on the Self-Efficacy Theory versus the Attribution Theory? You are a clinical preceptor in a health care agency, how can the Social Cognitive Theory assist you in teaching your preceptee?
