Evolutionary Education Solutions
and the Courses That We Offer.

Before you sign up for one of our course, not only should you get to know who will be guiding you through your educational journey, but we also want you to have a really good idea of how we teach. While the instructors here at Evolutionary Education Solutions have unique and dynamic personalities, they make sure to take time to engage with you, the student, to make sure the learning process isn’t just informative, it’s also fun. Let’s take a moment an explore those teaching methods.

What is Implementation Science?

Have you ever heard of implementation science before?

Implementation Science is a field of study that emerged due to the underutilization of evidence-based practice, or EBP. There is a gap between what we know and what we do that’s referred to as “The Know-Do Gap”. By identifying and addressing the resultant Know-Do Gaps at the provider, clinic, or healthcare system level we’re able to increase the uptake of proven health interventions. Because of these gaps, we’re only now beginning to utilize research that was conducted in 2004. That means on average it takes 17 years for information to be transferred from research into everyday clinical practice… 17 years. There are estimates that 1 out of every 3 patients do not receive care that complies with current scientific evidence. This is something that we all see in our practices, theories that have been thoroughly debunked, are still being utilized. This means that despite decades-long efforts to teach patient safety, improve quality, and identify best practices, Our industry is lacking in the dissemination of such programs. 

Research has found that personal beliefs, behaviors, and values of people involved in implementing reforms can affect the quality of implementation and, therefore, the outcomes. The whole “I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I know what I’m doing.” can be a real barrier for bringing in new ideas and concepts. 

Across the country there a various sized gaps, some quite large, and it’s the reason that Jess and Hillary are fascinated with Implementation Science. That’s why they’re going to be actively utilizing these theories through the courses. 

How are we going to make these changes? This is where I finally get around to answering your question Jess. We’re going to use something called Person-Centered Instruction to help you identify ways in which we can shrink, or even eliminate, the “Know-Do Gap”.

How is Evolutionary Education Solutions going to make these changes?

In order to identify ways in which we can all shrink, or even eliminate, the “Know-Do Gap” we’ll be using a type of instruction that is focused on maximizing the student’s uptake of new information rather than focusing on the instructor’s ease of teaching as happens in the traditional or “sage on a stage” instructional format. This type of teaching is called Person-Centered Instruction.

How we’ll use Person-Centered Instruction with this course

Research from David N. Aspy and Flora N. Roebuck has shown that universities with Person-Centered Instruction attain higher rates of retention and learning. Therefore, we want to incorporate it here with you so that you walk away with as much of the information that we cover still stuck in your head.

We’re going to explain all of our information in ways that are personally relevant to each of you in order to improve the implementation of the knowledge and skills you’ll gain in this course.

And you’ll get learning support too. We’ll follow the principles of implementation science whenever we present any information to you.

Three Learning Styles

In order for you to learn best, we’re going to accommodate a variety of learning styles in this course.

Learning styles indicate the way a person learns best and are highly dependent on an individual’s personality. At the start of any educational experience, being mindful and aware of your personal learning style is tremendously valuable. Seeking courses that fit your learning style will improve the amount of information you retain from that course.  

The three most common learning styles are Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic learning. Although we all tend to have one strongest style, each of us usually has a secondary learning style which can complement the primary learning style and improve the efficiency of learning when you combine them in the right way.

We’ll utilize these to maximize the amount of information that you absorb.
