Book Student and Faculty Perceptions of Teaching Effectiveness of Full time and Part time Associate Degree Nursing Faculty

Download or read book Student and Faculty Perceptions of Teaching Effectiveness of Full time and Part time Associate Degree Nursing Faculty written by Lisa L. Allison-Jones and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of full-time and part-time faculty is an area of major interest in education, especially in light of the dramatic rise of part-time faculty on the nation2s campuses. In the period between 1976 and 1994, the use of full-time faculty increased by 21% while the use of part-time faculty increased by 91% (Clery, 1998). The quality of instruction is the primary concern surrounding the use of part-time faculty (Clery, 1998; Fedler, 1989; Gappa & Leslie, 1997; Leslie, 1998; Mellander & Mellander, 1999; Spangler, 1990). One way of assessing quality of education is by assessing teacher effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to compare the teaching effectiveness of part-time and full-time clinical nursing faculty. To achieve this, the Nursing Clinical Teacher Effectiveness Inventory (NCTEI) (Knox & Mogan, 1985) was adapted for use in measuring student and faculty perceptions of part-time faculty and of full-time faculty. The NCTEI was designed to measure five categories important in clinical nursing instruction: teaching ability, nursing competence, evaluation, interpersonal relationships, and personality traits.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Book Teaching and Learning in Nursing

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.

Book Using a Qualitative Approach to Explore Nursing Faculty Perceptions of Teaching Online

Download or read book Using a Qualitative Approach to Explore Nursing Faculty Perceptions of Teaching Online written by Yvonne M. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to understand perceptions of faculty members regarding their experiences of teaching nursing courses in undergraduate baccalaureate and graduate programs, using asynchronous, web-based courses. The goal of this researcher was to explore faculty perceptions of online teaching and work to clarify workload and policy issues, barriers to quality online teaching and learning, and faculty needs for professional development and support. A qualitative descriptive design method was used to explore nursing faculty perceptions of teaching online. Data were obtained through an initial demographic survey and through interviews with a subset of 10 faculty participants. The findings from this study reveal that nursing faculty members perceive (a) that relationships are key to learning and that these relationships can be complex and difficult to establish in the online learning environment, (b) that support comes in a variety of forms and is needed to make learning work well in the online environment, (c) that constraints and concerns interfere with their ability to engage students and provide the best online learning opportunities for their students, and (d) that there are opportunities to improve online teaching and learning. The findings from this study deepen our understanding of online teaching and learning in the discipline of nursing. Implications for nursing education include preparing nurse educators for the work of teaching in online environments, creating environments that foster teaching and learning, and enriching both faculty member and student experiences in online teaching and learning.

Book Students  Perception of Important Teaching Behaviors in Classroom and Clinical Environments of a Community College Nursing and Dental Hygiene Education Program

Download or read book Students Perception of Important Teaching Behaviors in Classroom and Clinical Environments of a Community College Nursing and Dental Hygiene Education Program written by Vickie J. Kimbrough-Walls and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student success is dependent on effective instruction. Yet, effective teaching is difficult to define and described differently by students, faculty, and administrators. Nursing and dental hygiene education programs require faculty to teach in both classroom and clinical environments. However, accreditation agencies for these programs mandate licensed practitioners as instructors. As a result, they have little to no formal training or experience in education methods. Each semester, colleges and universities use student evaluations of educators to measure effective teaching. However, criteria for evaluation instruments greatly vary. This study focuses on students' perception of important teaching behaviors in classroom and clinical settings for a nursing and dental hygiene program at a Western community college.

Book Nursing Faculty Perceptions of Anxiety in Nursing Students

Download or read book Nursing Faculty Perceptions of Anxiety in Nursing Students written by Cristina Andraca Tansey and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nursing profession relies on the delivery of safe, competent care to produce positive patient outcomes. In preparation to enter the nursing workforce, students must develop the knowledge, skills, and clinical judgment to practice in a complex healthcare environment. Research has demonstrated, however, that nursing students experience an increased level of anxiety which can interfere with learning and performance. This qualitative phenomenological study explored nursing faculty perceptions of anxiety among prelicensure baccalaureate nursing students. The research question guiding this study was: What are nursing faculty perceptions of anxiety among nursing students? The Comfort-Stretch-Panic model was used as a framework to illustrate the degree to which anxiety can impact students' learning. Thirteen nursing faculty from nursing programs across Pennsylvania were interviewed. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method and led to four themes: (1) recognizing expressions of anxiety, (2) understanding influencing factors, (3) finding a balance, and (4) acknowledging the faculty role. The theme of understanding influencing factors revealed two subthemes: (a) expectations and (b) realizing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data analysis highlighted faculty awareness of students' experiences of anxiety and factors that impact these feelings. The Comfort-Stretch-Panic model was described and its application to nursing education was identified as a framework to understand student anxiety. Recommendations for nursing education and practice included ongoing faculty development and the use of simulation to help faculty identify how best to support students. Futrher research is needed to achieve student learning outcomes.
