Annotated list on Model of Facilitation and Learning Theory
There are a number of learning theories and are used depending on the context at hand. It is
difficult to come up with theory that can fit in all contexts. They include: behavior, cognitive and
human and adult learning theories. For a model of facilitation, four principles apply for it to be
effective: it should fit the learner, relationship between the facilitator and the learner should of
respect, the facilitator should make the learner a priority and should be competent. This paper
has an annotated list explaining broadly on a behavior theory and sessional clinical facilitation
model.
Classical conditioning learning theory

Classical conditioning learning theory requires a response and a stimulus for the result of
new or a change in behaviors. It involves an activity that will help in learning, repetition
and practice of the activity, and finally reinforcement of the assisted learning. This is a
theory that was introduced by a physiologist from Russia called Ivan Pavlov with an
assumption that for the process to learn to develop there must be interactions with the
surrounding.

generalize fear. Trends in cognitive sciences, 19(2), 73-77.
The environment has some responsibilities in the behavior and the state of mind of
organisms. For instance, the researcher experimented on a dog. He took the
measurements of saliva of a dog when given a piece of meat. He realized there was a

great amount of saliva. He then rang a bell and he noticed no response. From there, he
rang the bell and presented a piece of meat to the dog and did this repetitively. He
realized every time the dog salivated. One day he just rang the bell and the dog salivated.
The dog was classically conditioned. This shows that organisms can learn through
repetitive stimulus.
Sessional clinical facilitator model
Mannix, J., Faga, P., Beale, B., & Jackson, D. (2016). Towards sustainable models for clinical
education in nursing: An on-going conversation. Nurse Education in Practice, 6(1), 3-11.
Sessional clinical facilitator model has been adopted by so many facilitators. This was to
solve the different challenges undergraduate nurses go through. For example, there are
lots of concerns being raised on the curriculum of undergraduate nursing and therefore
the need of a better model of facilitation. Competency is vital in the clinical learning.
The model though has some problems thereby there is a need of study of models that are
sustainable and more reliable.

of Clinical Nursing, 14(6), 664-673.
The work of facilitator is to ensure that every learner gets the very information they need.
It is also their duty to make sure the model is compatible with all the learners. In
addition, they should maintain high levels of skills and knowledge.
