| Abstract | "This book devotes itself to the underlying theories, concepts, and science of curriculum development and evaluation in nursing education as separate from the art and science of teaching and instructional processes. It provides useful content for both novice and experienced faculty, those within nursing professional development, and nursing education students. The curriculum provides the goals for an educational program, guidelines for delivery, and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of the programs. The book discusses major theories and concepts that relate to instructional strategies and their contributions to the implementation of the curriculum plan. Defining curriculum development provides a roadmap for beginning the process. For the purposes of the textbook, the definition is a curriculum is the formal plan of study that provides the philosophical underpinnings, goals, and guidelines for delivery of a specific educational program. The text uses this definition throughout for the formal curriculum, while recognizing the existence of the informal curriculum. The informal curriculum consists of activities that students, faculty, administrators, staff, and consumers experience outside of the formal planned curriculum. Although the focus of the text is on the formal curriculum, nursing educators must be mindful of the role informal curriculum plays in student learning; its influence and ability to reinforce learning activities from the planned/formal curriculum. The book transforms nursing curricula, especially with the rapid adaptation in the delivery of courses and programs through online and distance education and the application of newly developed technology to enhance instructional strategies. It focuses on the learner and measurement of learning outcomes. Integration of safety and quality concepts, evidence-based practice, translational science, and research into the curriculum, provide exciting challenges and opportunities for nursing educators. Finally, the book pursues ongoing research on curriculum development and evaluation to provide the underpinnings for evidence-based practice in nursing education."--Provided by publisher |
