As a nurse educator, you will primarily be teaching adults; therefore, understanding adult learning theory and how various learning theories apply is important. It is also important to develop your own teaching philosophy, similar to your nursing philosophy but applied to nurse education.
Using your understanding of adult learning theory, learner-centered education, and applicable learning theories, discuss how you will apply these ideas as an educator. What theories will be most important to you in your teaching role? Explain why you selected those theories. How do they fit with your developing nursing education philosophy?
