Ch. 11: Curriculum Design & Eval of Program Outcomes Flashcards
What are frame factors?
Environ & human factors that infl the curriculum and need to be considered (can be internal or external)
Ext frame factors
Elements of environ that are outside of parent institution that infl the curriculum
-Financial support
-Regulations & accreditation
-Nurs profession
-Need for the program
-Demographics
Int frame factors
Elements that are internal to institution & inform program
-Potential faculty & learner characteristics
-Description & organiz of structure of parent institution
-Resources w/in institution & nurs program
-Int economic situation & infl on curriculum
-Mission or purpose, philosophy, goals of parent institution
5 practices linked w/ exceptional leadership:
1) Challenging process by searching for opportunities, experimenting, & taking risks
2) Inspiring shared vision by envisioning future & enlisting support of others
3) Enabling others to act by fostering collab & strengthening others
4) Modeling the way by setting example & planning small successes
5) Encouraging heart by recognizing contributions & celebrating accomplishments
3 specialty accrediting bodies:
Standards from accrediting bodies need to be incorporated into curriculum design
CNEA (Nat’l League of Nursing’s Commission for Nurs Edu Accreditation)
CCNE (American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s Commission on Collegiate of Nursing)
ACEN (Accreditation Commission for Edu in Nursing)
Curriculum Model
-More traditional (courses address original areas of nursing)
-Students learn disciplines inherent to profession
-Courses developed will be very traditional
-Nurs process (ADPIE) would be integrated into each traditional course
-AKA additive curriculum
What is an example of a course in the Integrated Model & Concept Model?
Circulatory Prob’s Across Life Cycle
Integrated Model & Concept Model
-Addresses nurs care of pts at all developmental lvls (infancy
–> elderly)
-Courses would be integrated thru-out curriculum
Discipline Model or Nursing Theorist Model
-Curriculum = informed by conceptual model of nursing
-Courses are integrated into concepts of theory used
-Focuses on models of nursing such as Levine & Orem
What is an example of a course in the Discipline Model or Nursing Theorist Model?
-Issues r/t Conservation of Energy
-Issues r/t Structural Integrity
Deconstructed, Conceptual, or Emancipator Curriculum Models
-Courses focus on concepts (rather than specific dz entities)
-Focuses on concepts that are more useful in practice
-Too much content; advocates more for learning-centered curricula
Example of Deconstructed, Conceptual, or Emancipator Curriculum Models
-Concepts (i.e. infx, preparedness, community-based health) can thread thru many courses
-Learner focuses on thinking about connections among many healthcare prob’s & solves prototypes
-Coaching = helpful teaching strategy
PPP (Preparation for Professions Program)
-Took comparative perspective to issues of teaching, learning, assessment, curriculum in nurs edu
-Identified 3 dimensions of apprenticeships for pro edu
3 dimensions of apprenticeships for pro edu
-Intellectual training to learn academic knowledge base & have capacity to think in ways important to profession
-Skill-based apprenticeship of practice (incl clinical judgment)
-Ethical standards, social roles, responsibilities of profession thru which novice is introduced to meaning of integrated practice of all dimensions of profession, grounded in profession’s fundamental purposes
Key PPP findings
-Major gap in practive vs edu
-Radical separation of classroom & clinical teaching
-Faculty development needed for classroom teaching
