Social Hand Hygiene Approach Analysis

Assessment Tool: Hand Hygiene (Behaviorist theory) The skill chosen for evaluation is based on hand hygiene specifically the social hand wash technique. The technique was based on the WHO guidelines from which the assessment tool was developed. The theory used to develop the assessment tool is the behaviorist theory of learning and teaching focusing on Pavlov and Skinner’s theories. The Behaviorist Theory The behaviorist theory is compiled by a number of theorists who formulated the basis of this theory which can be described as the change in behavior of the student due to what was taught by the educator and learnt by the student (Bruce et al, 2015). There are variables which make this theory relevant to the tool which I designed; the students …show more content…

With Pavlov’s theory of classical conditioning the students can also be conditioned to learn a skill and then respond in practice due to a stimuli which could slightly or immensely trigger the response of the social hand wash. The student is taught the technique through learning by observation demonstrated by the educator in simulation. Together with this they are taught the reasons why the social hand wash technique is learnt in order to develop insight into the procedure. The steps are taught to them and they themselves repeat the steps multiple times in simulation. The hand washing is then assessed by practical examination the expected outcome is that when students are in practice that they may identify the moments when hand washing is needed. The moments would then be the conditioned stimulus and the constant response being social hand washing techniques. This then can be described as a conditioned response as the student was taught the skill, they repeatedly practiced it then in practice can identify the moment as …show more content…

It is valid as it is relevant to the objective which was set out prior to using it to assess the student’s practical abilities with relation to social hand hygiene (Hughes & Quinn, 2013, 247). The assessment is also reliable in a sense that it can be used to assess other students for the same purpose. It is also practical as it can be used daily, it will not cost the student or the hospital any money that what is budgeted for as this skill is required worldwide (WHO) and the resources should be made available. Transparency is practiced effectively as the student is aware of what is expected from them and the assessment tool is clearly explained. (Hughes & Quinn, 2013,

Behaviourism The behaviourism theory is based on human and animal behaviour being shaped by conditioning and environmental factors. Behaviourists believe that unusual behaviours are caused by a person not adjusting adequately or appropriately to the environment or situation and learning or accidentally learning this response from the start. Behaviour therapy, aversions therapy and shaping are used as an intervention to change the persons response and make the responses more adaptive. The use of positive reinforcement is a can be very effective in changing a person or animals behaviour.

1.Classical conditioning is a learning process first discovered by the Russian physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov in the early 1900s. The theory of Classical Conditioning deals with the learning process leading us to gain a new behavior via the process of association. Internal mental thoughts and brain mechanisms play a huge role in associative learning. Classical Conditioning works by pairing involuntary response with stimulus. After which, unconditioned response becomes conditioned response.

3.2 Outline the procedures to be followed if an accident or sudden illness should occur. The procedure to follow in the event of an accident would be that I would record all of the details about the incident & report/relay them to the ward manager who will then go on to notify other people. In the event of someone having a cardiac arrest, if I was the first person on the scene I would activate my alarm to make sure there are more staff available to help. 3.3 Explain why it is important for emergency first aid tasks only to be carried out by qualified first aiders.

The Socio-behaviorist theory (behaviorism) Socio-behaviorists often study how children 's experiences model their behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Behaviorism believes that what matters is not the development itself, but the external factors that shape children 's behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). This theory demonstrates that teachers and mentors dominate and instruct child-related activities, and they decide what children should learn and how to learn (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Reinforcement, which is an essential factor that helps children to learn particular behaviors, generally refers to rewards and punishments (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Children are more likely to repeat actions that result in receiving praise; in contrast, they may ignore or abandon behaviors that make them get punishment.

Cheerleading is considered an average American activity practiced in almost every community, representing team spirit on and off the field. The populous activity originally started in the 19th century as an all-male activity. Nevertheless, it wasn’t until the men left to fight in World War II that females stepped into the vacant spots. As Alexa Ferrara mentions, “For most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it was assumed that cheerleading was the most appropriate way for girls to contribute to sports.” As a result, today cheerleading has expanded greatly around the country.

My coach for soccer has taught me how to play soccer from a young age and in order for my coach to be able to coach me successfully the coach would need a ball and soccer training methods. My version of playing soccer was just passing a ball and the soccer ball was the object I made an association with and when I was starting to take soccer seriously it meant I would need a coach and I did not know how a coach was and how it would enable me to be able to play soccer and it classical conditioning terms it would be called unconditioned association. The unconditioned stimuli (UCS), which is the coach, is going to enable me to emit a response which is to be able to play soccer and the behaviour I emit is known as the unconditioned response (UCR) because the coach has not yet taught me how to play soccer. When the coach starts coaching me to become a good soccer player, the coach moves from being the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to the neutral stimulus (NS), the coach becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS) because she has been training me on a regular basis which results in my unconditioned response (UCR) becoming the conditioned response (CR) which is to play soccer the proper way by; passing, dribbling, defending and shooting.

During classical conditioning, organisms learn to associate events and stimuli that repeatedly happen together. Classical conditioning is something that we experience throughout our lives on a daily basis. For example, one form of classical conditioning is taste aversion. I had an experience with taste aversion when I ate spaghetti and felt ill and nauseous afterwards. Though I had the stomach flu and it had nothing to do with the food I ate, I still associated spaghetti with that feeling of nausea.

Link to reality: Both Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning and Pavlov’s theory of classical conditioning can be used every day in an ECCE setting. Today many school systems and childhood authorities follow Skinner’s and Pavlov’s theory by using the approach of positive reinforcement. This encourages good behaviour in the child making the behaviour more likely to be repeated again as they are rewarded and praised for their efforts in reading, writing and general learning. It is important that children’s efforts in a learning setting are rewarded as this will encourage the child to perform to the best of their ability.

Criticism on Social Learning Theory Introduction Social learning theory is a theory related to classical and operant conditioning, which proposed by Albert Bandura in 1977. According to Albert Bandura, people are active agents in learning while they use cognition and social interaction in learning (Rogers, 2010). Albert Bandura considered that people are living in the environment, therefore, human behavior should be studied in social context rather than in laboratory (Bandura, 1977).

John B. Watson Theory of behaviorism: The term behaviorism refers to the school of psychology founded by John B. Watson based on the belief that behaviors can be measured, trained, and changed. Behaviorism was established with the publication of Watson 's classic paper, Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It (1913). Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment.

INTRODUCTION Have you ever thought on how people explain about behaviour? How do we know when learning process has occurred? Learning is permanent change that happened in the way of your behaviour acts, arises from experience one’s had gone through. This kind of learning and experience are beneficial for us to adapt with new environment or surrounding (Surbhi, 2018). The most simple form of learning is conditioning which is divided into two categories which are operant conditioning and classical conditioning.

In its most general sense, Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning developing as a result of the ideas and beliefs shared by a group of people who has influenced educators’ view of learning. The term behavioral psychology refers to a psychological approach which principally concerned with stimulus-response activities and emphasizes the role of environmental factors in a learning process, to the exclusion of own free will. There is a tenet of behavioral psychology that “only observable, measurable, an outward behavior is worth investigating” (Bush, 2006, p. 14). Historically speaking, behaviorism was originated in the 1880s and develops gradually in the twentieth-first century and beyond. Skinner and
