University of Wollongong SNPG962 Learning Outcomes Assignment

This assignment, part of the SNPG962 Clinical Reasoning module at the University of Wollongong, requires students to reflect on their personal learning outcomes and how they relate to clinical decision-making in nursing. Students are tasked with completing a template outlining their learning goals, steps to achieve them, and their association with the clinical reasoning cycle. The assignment emphasizes the importance of critical reflection, effective decision-making, and the application of clinical judgment in patient care. The readings for the module include articles on clinical reasoning, decision-making, and the development of nursing knowledge. The assignment aims to help students understand the importance of the clinical reasoning cycle, clinical judgment, and decision-making processes in nursing practice, and to develop the ability to deliver quality care to patients.

Learning outcomes are statements concerning what you would like to have accomplished in your learning by the end of a module or degree programme.
Learning outcomes may focus on:
• your personal learning goals
• particular achievements you would like to aim for (such as a mark or degree class)
• specific knowledge or techniques you would like to acquire
• transferable skills that could contribute to your employability
• progression towards larger learning goals.
These learning outcome statements may be more meaningful if you think about and reflect on the wider context of your own learning journey as
you develop them.
To help you this semester, you need to think about your own learning and elements that you would like to concentrate on this semester. I encourage you
to think about what you would like to achieve, what skills you want to learn and how you might achieve these through your readings and discussions with
me and your fellow students.
Take some time to consider these in the first 2 weeks of this session and complete the template supplied. You will need to refer back to this for your
last assessment. You will need to submit these by Friday of week 2.

1. Critically reflect on how clinical decisions are made by advanced practitioners;
