Assignment Overview

You have been asked to facilitate an educational workshop for a group of colleagues on the importance of evidence-based quality improvement initiatives. Select a learning theory category (either behavioral or cognitive) to help support the development of the workshop. Develop a PPT presentation that explains how you will create a workshop that will meet the learning needs of your audience and address the stated objectives for the presentation. Use Bloom's taxonomy to develop appropriate objectives for the workshop.

Create a PowerPoint presentation to address the following.

Identify a learning theory category—behavioral or cognitive. Describe the main assumptions of the selected learning theory.

Present three learning objectives for the workshop on the importance of evidence-based quality improvement initiatives. Develop one objective for each learning domain (cognitive, psychomotor, and affective). Use the appropriate taxonomy when developing the learning objectives (e.g., if the audience is not familiar with the topic, lower-level taxonomy would be appropriate. If the audience is experienced at conducting evidence-based improvement projects, higher-level taxonomy may be appropriate). Discuss why the specific learning objectives were developed.

Create three active learning activities that will be included in the workshop to help keep your audience engaged. The learning activity should help meet the learning objectives of the workshop. Describe each active learning activity and how it aligns with the selected learning theory (behavioral or cognitive). Explain what type of learning style the activity best addresses.

Identify how you will evaluate learning (e.g., quizzes, surveys, observation, self-report). Explain how the selected evaluation will demonstrate how each learning objective was met.

Provide a conclusion. Include a summary on the selected learning theory category. Describe the relationship among learning theory, objectives, activities, and evaluation.
