Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Higher Education

Background:

  • Baccalaureate nursing programs utilize conceptual frameworks to structure curricula.
  • Understanding common curriculum patterns is essential for program evaluation and development.
  • Canadian English-speaking generic baccalaureate nursing programs were examined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify common concepts and curriculum patterns in Canadian baccalaureate nursing programs.
  • To analyze the primary and secondary organizers used in nursing curricula.
  • To provide a framework for curriculum practice, research, and evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive study of all 18 English-speaking, generic baccalaureate nursing programs in Canada.
  • Identification and analysis of primary and secondary curriculum organizers.
  • Categorization of curriculum patterns based on organizing concepts.

Main Results:

  • Four primary curriculum organizers were identified: client systems, health-illness, growth and development, and nursing roles.
  • Common secondary organizers include the nursing process, growth and development, human needs, and family.
  • These organizers are used to sequence courses and structure content within nursing programs.

Conclusions:

  • Identifying curriculum organizers offers a practical approach for nursing curriculum design, change, and evaluation.
  • The identified organizers can be used with nursing models for effective curriculum structuring.
  • Research on conceptual frameworks can benefit from using these primary and secondary organizers to compare nursing curricula.
