Introduction to theoretical & evidence-based approaches to nursing education. Pedagogical methods are explored to develop student critical thinking & clinical competence in the role of nurse educator in a variety of settings. Emphasis is placed on assessing learning needs, educational planning, instructional design, teaching strategies, test construction and evaluation based on theoretical & empirical knowledge.
Explore philosophical perspectives, curriculum theory, and paradigmatic and contextual factors in nursing education. Contextual factors include consideration of diverse populations served, their needs and their influence on health care. The use of a curriculum framework as a means of conceptualizing and organizing the sequencing of knowlege, skills, values and beliefs to achieve program outcomes/competencies is examined. Faculty development synchronous with curriculum development is emphasized as an essential component of curricular change. Aspects of the National League for Nursing (2005) Core Competencies of Nurse Educators contributed to the course development.
