Evaluation
The learning will be evaluated by asking the learners what they have learnt. The
feedback is one of the most effective ways of knowing if the patient has gained or benefited
from the learning. A requirement for the repeat demonstration will help the educator assess if
the patient understood the concept taught. The reversal of the roles will involve the educator

becoming the learner and the learner swapping the role to be the educator. If they teach the
same way, it would mean that they have understood. The other step in the evaluation will
involve asking open-ended questions regarding the condition. For instance, the educator can
ask the learner to describe how insulin works in the body. If they are able to explain it well
through recall, one can conclude that they have understood the lesson ("Diabetes: Teaching
Patients Self-Care", n.d.).
