What’s Ahead for Improved Learning Outcomes??
• Revolution in Neuro-Cognitive Science…Neuro-Net
• Representational Mind and Rational Calculation, Out…Embodied Realism and Immersion in experience.
• Skills of Engagement and Human Curiosity are Central

Skilled Know-Howhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-rmGy9gWvE
Traditional cognitive theory is “distanced from experience” and divides the learning mind from the world. (Lave, 1996, p. 7).
“the problem of how social and physical context influences individuals’ mental processes is overlooked in educational research.”

Alva Noe: Out of our Heads (2009)
“The last 25 years have witnessed the gradual shaping of an embodied, situated approach to the mind…”
“But this has been ignored in neuroscience, in mainstream linguistics, and, more generally in the domain of consciousness studies.”

Dissolving the Mind-Body Problem
•In addition to the theoretical grids of measurable aspects and features of the mind, we need descriptive language, and disclosive practices that allow middle terms between mind and brain to show how we are immersed in the world:
![Page 6: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S. Based on Carnegie National Study and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf176d71cd98658b24fbd7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Middle Terms Between Mind and Body
• Perceptual grasp, embodied intentionality, common taken for granted background meanings, habits, rituals, practices, narrative historical self and world understandings,and other social realtionships, concerns and meanings that constitute our lifeworld.
• Immersed real embodied
![Page 7: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S. Based on Carnegie National Study and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf176d71cd98658b24fbd7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Authentic Inquiry Oriented Learning
• We must teach for curiosity, understanding, and the natural desire to know and solve puzzles.
• In our best teaching practice, we look for learning because of given curiosity, not because of will alone, or primarily.
![Page 8: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S. Based on Carnegie National Study and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf176d71cd98658b24fbd7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Logic of Clinical Practice is different than the Logic of Narrow Rational Technical Model: Both General
and Particular Knowledge are Required
• General =Explanation Evidence Based
Findings
• Detached Snap Shot Reasoning
• Aggregated Cases Used
• Fabrication of Cases Based on Means
for Explanation not a Problem
• Aggregated means about objective
elements.
• Comparisons of Means, and Frequency
in aggregated cases.

Clinical Expertise Requires Reasoning Between the Particular and General
• Particular = Understanding in the Clinical Situation
• Engaged Thinking and Action across Time• Particular Cases Required• Fabrication of Patient Responses creates a
problem• “Singular Universal” Paradigm Cases needed
for understanding • Commonalities, Similarities and Contrasts
between real whole cases

Skills of Engagement Based on Understanding and Compassion are
Essential to Expertise
• Skills of engagement vary with different professionals…teachers, social workers, nurses, physicians, lawyers.
• Without appropriate levels of skills of engagement, relational skills e.g. (attentiveness, understanding, recognition practices, openness and communication) no professional can become expert at their craft.

Explanation AND Understanding
• Explanation for science methodologies and Disciplinary Knowledge.
• For knowing “that” and “why”
• Characterized by formal models of causality and inter-connectedness of variables in science, and tenets in Philosophy, Theory, Science, Technology
![Page 12: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S. Based on Carnegie National Study and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf176d71cd98658b24fbd7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
And Understanding
• For Knowing how, when for the sake of what, in order to accomplish or understand what?
• Skilled know-how and perceptual grasp are essential
• Situated knowledge use
• To teach for practice: get beyond a narrow rational technicality to a broader understanding of rationality
• Clinical Reasoning---Practical Reasoning
![Page 13: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S. Based on Carnegie National Study and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf176d71cd98658b24fbd7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Developing A Sense of Salience
• Based upon deep background understandings of a situation…family resemblances and/or recognition between commonalities within situations
• Becomes more tacit over time with discernment based experiential learning
• Recognizing the nature of the situation is at the heart of good clinical reasoning
![Page 14: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S. Based on Carnegie National Study and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf176d71cd98658b24fbd7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Use Multiple Modes of Thinking
• Clinical Reasoning….Reasoning across time about the particular through changes in the patient/situation and or changes in the clinicians’ Understanding
• Patient Response-based thinking
• Diagnostic Reasoning
• Creative thinking
![Page 15: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S. Based on Carnegie National Study and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf176d71cd98658b24fbd7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Use Multiple Modes of Thinking
• Discernment, and Insight: Clearing up false assumptions, wrong understandings of the situation
• Critical Thinking…for breakdown, defunct problem solutions, novel problems
• Take the action step. Where, when how?
• Reflection, evaluation, and improving actions for next time
![Page 16: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S. Based on Carnegie National Study and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf176d71cd98658b24fbd7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why the Critical Thinking Agenda in Higher Education is Necessary but not sufficient:
Clinicians need a place to stand and a way to act!!
• A positive project…a cumulative science, and error-reducing historical understandings.
• Evidence based practice
• Clinical wisdom and good reasoning and situated judgment to use evidence wisely
![Page 17: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S.

Experience Situates the Novice & Expert
Nurse Differently
Learners at different levels of skill literally dwell in worlds with different affordances, different possibilities of perceptual grasp, moral perception, moral agency, forethought, and different skillful responses.
What You Attend to, What you notice as Background and foreground are quite different at different skill levels.

Cross-Professional Frames for the Five Carnegie Studies of Professional
Education
Teaching a Practice Requires:
– Experiential teaching and learning
– Situated cognition—Thinking-in-Action (The logic of practice)
– Situated teaching and learning (Readiness)
– Reflection on particular cases and situations
– Development of ethical comportment (In dispositions and actions, not just beliefs and decisions)

The Cognitive Apprenticeship
Findings:
– Uneven and often inadequate teaching in the cognitive apprenticeship across types of schools
– High variability in cognitive apprenticeship found across types of nursing schools

The Cognitive Apprenticeship
• Catalogues and taxonomies– Impact was to give descriptions of
classifications of diseases without strategies for approach or access to the material except description
– Consequences for access to practical reasoning
• Maxim: “Subsuming things under categories is not the same as productive thinking.” Logstrup

Student Experiences
“So much to learn in such a short time.”
“The most challenging thing is all of the mountains of
information that just has to be completely committed to
long-term memory. Remembering normal lab
values and drug dosages is very hard for me.”

Student Experiences
“I have given up on trying to read the
overwhelming textbooks”

Deep Learning: Less is More
• Integrating knowledge acquisition and knowledge use in practice requires choosing commonly recurring clinical problems, illnesses and public health promotion
• Strengthen clinical inquiry and clinical imagination
• Avoid pedagogies of cataloguing

Unfolding Case Studies and Patient-Based Nursing Interventions…
• Titration and Adjustment of Interventions
• Learning from Authentic Cases…how the patient’s condition changes over time
• Developing a Clinical Grasp of the Nature of the Clinical Situation over Time

The Role of Narrative in Articulating Practical Knowledge:
• Narratives can capture what is universal in a particular clinical or human situation. The person telling a story about their practice experience may reveal more than they intend, or even have direct access to.
• The logic of practice may be opaque to the practitioner. Narrative and observation may capture what is only dimly understood.
32
![Page 33: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S.

Teaching a Practice
• Practical reasoning = Clinical Reasoning – Clinical reasoning is reasoning across time
about the patient’s changing condition and/or changes in the clinician’s understanding
• Development of ethical comportment (In dispositions and actions, not just beliefs and decisions)
33

The Apprenticeship of Clinical Reasoning and Clinical Judgment
It is difficult for students to learn to useknowledge when clinical and classroom teaching and learning are separate
34
![Page 35: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S.

Developing a Sense of Salience\The Important stands out
• Experientially Learned
• Situated Coaching is Essential for the Novice
• Addresses the Limits of Formalism in an Under-Determined Situation
• Enables recognition of the whole situation
35
![Page 36: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S.

Implications for Teaching a Practice
• Recognizing the Nature of the Whole Clinical Situation Crisis in Building situation up element by element…Simple to complex maxim
• Practice Disciplines Require Situated Practical Reasoning across Time Which is More than Just “Critical Thinking”
• Narrative Understanding of How Clinical Situations Evolve Over Time is an Essential form of Reflection and Learning from Practice, Particular cases.

Developing Clinical Imagination
• Requires Nurse-Specific Skills of Involvement
• Is Relational and Requires Attunement
37
![Page 38: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S. Based on Carnegie National Study and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf176d71cd98658b24fbd7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Apprenticeship of Clinical Reasoning and Clinical
Judgment
• Pedagogies of being with and responding to suffering are excellent in the clinical teaching and almost absent in classroom teaching
• Students describe transformative experiences of learning from patients but faculty do not often attend to or extend this rich source of learning
• The “added value” of time for nursing care for the student nurse fosters integration of the apprenticeships
38
![Page 39: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S.

Student Experiences
Integration of classroom and clinical is uneven:
“Some students are lucky enough to obtain a clinical instructor that also teaches the course. Then the course objectives and content are
better facilitated with direct "clinical setting" examples.
Example might be an instructor teaching, "Remember we talked
about this subject in class ... here is a prime example of that lecture
in the clinical setting." This exampling solidifies classroom
taught information.”

The Apprenticeship of Formation and Ethical Comportment
An apprenticeship to the ethical standards, social roles, and responsibilities of the profession, through which the novice is introduced to the meaning of an integrated practice of all dimensions of the profession, grounded in the profession’s fundamental purposes
40
![Page 41: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S.

Formation
• Beyond “socialization”
• Experiential learning that creates new capacities to “see” and to “act”
41
![Page 42: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S.

The Apprenticeship of Formation and Ethical Comportment
• A pervasive concern in classroom and clinical practice
• Language of “Bioethics” not relational and particular enough to capture ethical concerns of nursing students
• Students imagine ethics as abstract principles, and often do not recognize when their concerns in practice are ethical concerns
42
![Page 43: Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive ... · Experiential Learning and Situated Cognition Unive Dalhousie University, Halifax N.S.

The Apprenticeship of Formation and Ethical Comportment
Examples of student nurses’ ethical concerns:
–Meeting the patient as a person
–Preserving dignity and personhood of patient
–Responding to sub-standard practice
–Advocating for patients
–Engaging fully in learning to do “good” nursing practice

Developing Moral Imagination and Ethical Comportment
• Can the student imagine taking up the practice given the pedagogies used?
• Can the student recognize problems or issues in everyday ethical comportment?
