Be supervised on at least 3 occasions signing off proficiencies at proficiency points and/or at the final placement. 3.Supervision must be undertaken by an existing sign-off Mentor. Only the Sign-Off Mentor can: 1. Sign the Confirmation of Proficiency at Progression Points for Midwifery students 2. Sign the Confirmation of Proficiency for Nursing Students on their Final Placement 28 (NMC 2008) What is a mentor? Definition: ‘A person who is required by a professional association to be appointed to guide a candidate through their programme of study, leading to a professional qualification .’ (Parsloe & Wray 2005) 29 What is a mentor? cont… Definition: Registrant who …. facilitates learning and supervises and assesses students in practice settings.’ (NMC 2008) 30 Role of the Mentor? Role model Facilitator Supporter Supervisor Resource person Teacher-coach Assessor 31 Leadership & Mentorship Nursing leadership must first understand the "whole picture" by recognising the close inter-relationships between leadership, mentorship, and organisational culture. As leaders in the acute and community care settings, professional nurses should ensure that mentoring is embedded in the culture within which it is to exist, such that mentoring goals and values are aligned with the organisational values. (Jill & Bally 2007) 32 Transformational Leadership 4 elements of transformational leadership: 1. Individualised Consideration – the degree to which the leader acts as a mentor or coach and listens to the individuals concerns and needs. The leader gives empathy, support and keeps communication open. 2. Intellectual Stimulation – Such leaders encourages the individual to be innovative and creative. They encourage new ideas and never criticise them publicly for the mistakes committed by them. The leaders focus on solving problems and do not focus on blame. They have no hesitation in discarding an old practice set by them if it is found ineffective. 33 Transformational Leadership 3. Inspirational Motivation – the degree to which the leader articulates a vision that is appealing and inspiring to others. Leaders with inspirational motivation, challenge individuals to leave their comfort zones, communicate optimism about future goals, and provide meaning for the task at hand. 4. Idealised Influence – the degree to which the leader acts as a role model. If the leader gives respect and encourages others to be better, those influenced will then go to others and repeat the positive behaviour, passing on the leadership qualities for other followers to learn. 34 Learning Theories 35 Theory Proponent Main Belief Behaviourist Pavlov, Skinner Repetition is important in learning, especially skills -Positive reinforcement and praise cement learning and shapes behaviour Social learning Bandura People acquire behaviours through the observation Experiential Kolb, Dewey Learning is an active process that occurs as a result of experience and reflection Humanist Rogers, Maslow, Knowles -People learn best by participation and cooperation -Atmosphere & climate of the classroom is important -The relationship with the teacher is important -Anxiety affects learning Cognitive Gagne, Brunner Cognitive theories argues that learning involves mental processes such as perception, reasoning, memory and information processes. Material should be presented in a logical sequence. Move from the simple to the complex. (Walsh 2014) Establishing effective working relationships You are a new student on a placement & you are meeting your mentor for the first time. What is the worst possible thing that could happen at this first encounter? What is the best possible thing that could happen at this first encounter? 37 The Student Students describe their first day as: Scary Frightening Terrifying Anxiety provoking And they feel uncertain how ward functions & what they are going to learn 38 Student & Mentor Relationship Levett-Jones et al (2009) in their study found staff student relationships were the most important influence on students’ sense of belonging and learning. 39 Meeting the student for the first time The first meeting between mentor and student should establish rapport How do we achieve a rapport with the student? 40 Meeting the student for the first time “befriending” your student encourages him/her to feel welcome & confident in the environment and to ask questions or reveal worries leading to increased confidence and greater likelihood of interaction with other team members and effective participation in general activities 41 It is YOUR workplace! You are familiar with the environment, routine and culture. The student is a visitor! 42 Learning Opportunities Make a list of learning opportunities available in your practice area - i.e. what experiences, resources, activities etc. are available to students that will help increase their professional competence? 43 Key characteristics - mentor/mentee relationship Patience Maturity Sense of humour Enthusiasm Assertiveness Non-threatening/nonjudgmental Positive attitude Knowledgeable Respectful of peers Flexibility Clinical expertise Advocate for learner Objectivity Professionalism Organisation 44 Learning styles People learn in different ways and may have more than one learning style (Honey & Mumford, 1988) Honey & Mumford (1988) identified 4 key learning styles: 1. Activists, 2. Theorists 3. Reflectors 4. Pragmatists.. 45 Learning Styles Why are learning styles important? Students learn better and more quickly if the teaching methods used match their preferred learning styles. As learning improves, so too does self esteem. This has a further positive effect on learning. Students who become bored with learning may become interested once again. The student-mentor relationship can improve because the student is more successful and is more interested in learning. (Sue Davidoff and Owen van den Berg 1990) http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/methodology/learning_style.shtml 46 Learning Styles cont.. Activists – are those people who learn by doing. They like to get ‘stuck in’ and actively involved in their learning experience. More receptive to simulation, case studies and role modeling. Reflectors – More cautious, learn by observing and thinking about their learning experience. Reflective journal help them to learn Pragmatists – “Like to try out new ideas and engage in problem solving” (Walsh 2014 page 99) Theorists – “They like to consider problems and try to understand concepts and integrate them into their thinking. They learn from logic and facts via lectures and reading” (Walsh 2014 page 99) (Walsh 2014) 47 Learning styles cont.. Visual Students may prefer a visual way of learning. - look at the teacher's face intently - like looking at wall displays, books etc. - often recognize words by sight - use lists to organize their thoughts - recall information by remembering how it was set out on a page Originates from the work of Dr's Bandler, R. and Grinder, J. in the Field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/methodology/learning_style.shtml 48 Learning Styles cont.. Auditory Students may prefer an auditory way of learning. - like the teacher to provide verbal instructions - like dialogues, discussions and plays - solve problems by talking about them - use rhythm and sound as memory aids Originates from the work of Dr's Bandler, R. and Grinder, J. in the Field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/methodology/learning_style.shtml 49 Learning styles cont.. Kinesthetic & Tactile Students may prefer a kinesthetic (moving) or tactile way of learning. Kinesthetic - learn best when they are involved or active - find it difficult to sit still for long periods - use movement as a memory aid Tactile - use writing and drawing as memory aids - learn well in hands-on activities like projects and demonstrations Originates from the work of Dr's Bandler, R. and Grinder, J. in the Field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/methodology/learning_style.shtml 50 Preparing for the Orientation and the Initial Interview 51 The Initial Interview Initial interview The student’s initial interview must take place with the mentor during the first week of the placement . You will now watch a video clip. In small groups discuss the following:• What is your overall impression of the interview? • What would you do if a student behaved like this? • What skills did the mentor use to get the student on track? • Do you think it was an effective first interview? • What would you do differently? 52 What Next? 53 What next? 1. Read Chris’ On-going Achievement Record (OAR) 2. Identify 5 essential skills the student can complete in your practice area. One of these must be an essential skill that the ‘student’ has not achieved in the previous placement. 3. Complete Sections A, B, C, D in the Workbook 54 Consider How you are going to achieve the coaching and Assessment activities in your work place. If you foresee any issues with completing these talk to your group tutor. 55 References Honey, P., and Mumford, A. (1988) Setting the scene for learning styles: In Walsh, D.
