Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Curriculum Theory
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • The Tylerian objectives-based model, focusing on measurable outcomes, has been adopted by nursing education to legitimize the profession.
  • This technical approach emphasizes quantifiable results for demonstrating nursing competence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the suitability of behavioral outcome measurement in contemporary nursing education.
  • To evaluate current nursing educational practices against the evolving ethos of nursing practice.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of nursing curriculum models.
  • Application of Habermas' theory of knowledge-constitutive interests.
  • Critique of behavioral measurement in nursing education.

Main Results:

  • Current nursing educational practices, rooted in the Tylerian model, lag behind the 1990s shift in nursing practice ethos.
  • Behavioral outcome measurement may not fully capture the complexities of modern nursing.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing education needs to transition from a purely technical curriculum to one integrating humanistic principles and critical reflection.
  • Educational approaches must align with current, humanistic nursing values for effective professional development.
