  2. RC Preceptor Workshop • Why are you going over this today? • Additional objective • Recognize how your responsibility as a preceptor can greatly influence learning and change.

  3. Assignment - Please describe the most positive and negative clinical learning experience that you remember.

  4. RCP’s are Health Care Professionals • Definition of Professional • “A calling or vocation requiring specialized knowledge, methods, and skills, as well as preparation, in an institution of higher learning, in the scholarly, scientific, and historical principles underlying such methods and skills” • Mishoe, S. and MacIntyre, N.

  5. You are Professionals • Develop intellectual interest in work. • Know and understand the purpose and value of their work and derive pleasure from performing to their fullest potential. • PRIMARY orientation to the community interest rather than to individual self-interest.

  15. Boomers - 44 - 64 yrs. young Gen X - 24 - 44 years young Net Generation - < 24 years young Are there Learning Differences between Generations?

  16. accustomed to being dependent on educator want to be in charge of own learning want a caring environment respond to positive feedback, want to do well connect learning to the mission, like being connected Boomers

  17. self-directed learners, work in teams not necessarily tech savvy can manage delayed gratification want clear information with practical value enjoy fun, humor, activities with learning Gen X

  18. considerable tech experience, comfort prefer work groups, teams enjoy being mentored by older generations enjoy simulated work environment, virtual reality active learners, seek innovation, immediate response to learning needs Net Generation

  19. Learning Styles • Kolb’s learning style inventory • Concrete “feel” • Reflective “watch” • Abstract “think” • Active “do” • Importance of learning style?

  20. Personality styles, profiles • e.g., Myers-Briggs • Preceptor and learner • improved matching?

  21. Perception of Orientation Experience – RCP’s at Acute care hospitals • Orientees ranked satisfaction higher than without preceptors • Preceptors often are harder on themselves than the orientees

  22. Orientation Evaluation Tool Example – Preceptor and Learner

  23. Preceptor Responsibilities 1. Socialization 2. Building learner skills 3. Critical thinking 4. Assignment management

  24. Socialization • Major determinant in new orientee satisfaction • Social initiation • personal/professional background • teaching/learning styles • communication styles

  25. What is the Preceptor’s role in Socialization? • Introduction to unit staff, culture, norms, layout, operations • Role model • Help orientee feel welcomed • Initial “protector”

  26. Building Learner Skills • Primary responsibility for skill development is on the orientee, not the preceptor • Use adult based learning techniques • Evaluate performance • Validate competency • policies and procedures • Provide feedback

  27. Content focused on perceived needs of learner Sequencing and repetition Active learning methods Safe and supportive learning environment Adult Learning Principles

  28. prime responsibility differences between novice experienced RCP Skill sets Evaluating Performance

  29. Novice Advanced beginner Competent Proficient Expert Stages of Learners

  30. Characteristics No experience with situations Inability to use discretionary judgment no rules about which tasks most relevant, when exception necessary Preceptor Implications Teach rules to guide action that can be recognized without experience Novice

  31. Characteristics Demonstrates marginally acceptable performance Gaining experience in real situations Starting to formulate patterns, attributes, guidelines for actions Difficulty identifying important aspects Preceptor Implications Shift teaching rules to guidelines Help recognize patterns and meanings Assist in prioritizing Advanced Beginner

  32. Characteristics Sees action in concert with overall plan Distinguishes between relevant and irrelevant attributes Can manage unforeseen events Lacks speed of proficient RCP Preceptor Implications Focus on improving decision-making skills Improve coordination of multiple complicated events Competent

  33. Characteristics Discerns situation as whole vs.. pieces Past experiences rather than rules guide practice Recognizes when normal responses not present Considers few options, hones in on accurate elements or problems Preceptor Implications Uses complex case studies to facilitate learning Refinement of critical thinking skills Proficient

  34. Characteristics Holistic practice vs.. respiratory fraction Grasps situations intuitively and correctly identifies solutions without wasting time Extraordinary management of clinical problems Considers expert by others Preceptor Implications Enjoy the assignment and ride on! Refinement of critical thinking skills Expert
