Download or read book Concept based Versus Traditional based Nursing Curriculum written by Melissa W. Casey and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of educating nursing students is an immense challenge for nursing faculty. With the ever increasing amount of technology and consent changes in the healthcare field, how is it possible to prepare nursing students for practice? Nursing instructors find themselves in the position of trying to meet this challenge. The current thought is that changing the curriculum from content saturation to a concept based approach will help meet this objective. Following an extensive literature review, the researcher realized that little research had been done that included the nursing instructor’s perspective on the curriculum change. This research obtains an introspection of whether nursing faculty perceive the new concept-based curriculum having improved student learning over the traditional-based curriculum. Utilizing a focus group formed from a community college Associate Degree nursing faculty, information related to their perception of the two types of curriculum was obtained. The findings revealed that most of the faculty felt there had been little improvement to student learning based on test scores, board pass rates, standardized testing results and attrition. At the same time, they felt there had not been a decline in learning either based on the same. They did have personal preferences but felt that as nurses and as educators they have the ability to adapt and provide each student with a good foundation to begin a nursing career using either curriculum.

Download or read book Integrative Learning written by Mary Taylor Huber and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great challenges in higher education is to help students integrate their learning. The capacity to make connections is essential to the conduct of personal, professional, and civic life, and is at the very heart of liberal education. It is also, arguably, more important than ever, and more difficult to achieve, as students transfer among multiple institutions and struggle to balance work and study. Indeed, many of the basic structures of academic life encourage them to see their courses as isolated requirements to complete. This paper explores the challenges to integrative learning today as well as its longer tradition and rationale within a vision of liberal education. In outlining promising directions for campus work, the authors draw on AAC&U's landmark report "Greater Expectations" as well as the Carnegie Foundation's long-standing initiative on the scholarship of teaching and learning. Readers will find a map of the terrain of interactive learning on which promising new development in undergraduate education can be cultivated, learned from, and built upon.
Download or read book Teaching and Learning in Nursing written by Gregor Stiglic and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant body of knowledge is the basis for a holistic, caring and scientific evidence-based nursing education in practice for professional development. Quality teaching leads to good learning and both aspects are two of the main issues of quality assurance in nursing education today. To begin with, not all nursing students have the same levels of motivation or learning abilities. It is with cognisance of providing quality care for patients that the role of the nurse educator has to be to enhance nursing students' learning using scientific evidence based teaching. Research around teaching and learning processes is an important part of the delivery of quality education, which in turn impacts on students' learning results and experiences, thereby, ensuring holistic biopsychosocial care to patients. The main aim of teaching and learning in nursing, at all levels, is to enhance the nurses' contribution to assist the individuals, families and communities in promoting and preserving health, well-being and to efficiently respond to illnesses. We hope that this book can be used as a resource to increase the body of knowledge in teaching and learning in nursing, thereby enhancing the role and contribution of health care professionals to clinical practice.
Download or read book Changing to Concept based Curricula written by Kristy A. Baron and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The complexity of health care today requires nursing graduates to use high-level thinking skills. Many nursing programs are revising curricula to include concept-based learning that encourages problem-solving, high-level thinking, and the ability to transfer knowledge to a variety of situations - requiring nurse educators to modify their teaching styles and methods to promote student-centered learning. Changing from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning requires a major shift in thinking and application. The focus of this qualitative study was to understand the process of changing to concept-based curricula for nurse educators who previously taught in traditional curriculum designs. The specific aims of this study explored the educators' behaviors and their perceptions of the change, teaching practices, and the teaching-learning process. Methodology: The researcher recruited a purposive sample of nurse educators with a minimum of a master's degree in nursing and over two years of teaching experience for in-depth interviews about their experiences of changing to a concept-based curriculum. The sample included eight educator from two institutions in one Western state. The researcher used a grounded theory design to guide this study and analyzed and interpreted interview transcripts using Charmaz's methods. Results: The grounded theory is constructed from the participants' experiences and consists of the overarching concept, support for change, and central concept, finding meaning. Related to finding meaning are four concepts: (a) refining change, (b) constructing learning, (c) fostering authenticity, and (d) reinforcement benefits. Data indicate educators must find meaning in the processes of a concept-based curriculum. These processes include (a) designing conceptual curricular structure, (b) implementing conceptual teaching, and (c) evaluating teaching-learning methods through a conceptual lens. Conclusions: Finding meaning, or understanding the processes of a concept-based curriculum, is proportional of refinind the change: the greater the understanding, the more refinement of curricular structures, teaching techniques, and teaching-learning methods. Concept-based teaching requires educators to construct learning that reflects conceptual understanding using a student-centered learning approach with authentic experiences. Fostering authenticity requires provision of real experiences in class for students to apply to their nursing practice. Educators practicing the processes of a concept-based curriculum discovered intrinsic rewards that reinforced the benefits of a nursing education career.

This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a review of central contributions from a variety of countries, and is intended to enhance and expand the national professional dialogue on curricula in nursing and midwifery education. All questions of a general nature related to the topic of “curricula” are dealt within the framework of this internationally oriented anthology. Though the contributions may address challenges concerning curriculum work in a specific country, they have been selected and structured to ensure their applicability to other countries. The book’s main goals are to highlight the various phases and aspects of curriculum development and to offer a broad international perspective on the topic. It provides an overview of the international status quo of the theory development and seeks to promote an ongoing international discussion and cooperation in curriculum work in nursing and midwifery education. When there are major changes in nursing and midwifery care, nursing (and midwifery) education has to change, too. Curricula offer an important basis for shaping educational processes at vocational schools and universities. The discussion of nursing and midwifery curricula is currently primarily taking place at the national level. The book shows that the approaches and instruments used in the development, construction, implementation and evaluation of curricula in nursing and midwifery education in different countries relate to very similar theoretical foundations. This finding can be seen as a confirmation of the national approaches. Although the book chiefly focuses on nursing education, examples from midwifery education are also included, so as to foster international and interprofessional cooperation.
