Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?
Principle of Moments: Problem Solving01:30

Principle of Moments: Problem Solving

The principle of moments is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering. It refers to the balancing of forces and moments around a point or axis, also known as the pivot. This principle is used in many real-life scenarios, including construction, sports, and daily activities like opening doors and pushing objects.
One such scenario involves a pole placed in a three-dimensional system with a cable attached. When a tension is applied to the cable, the moment about the z-axis passing through...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Pedagogy
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is an engaging undergraduate nursing education strategy.
  • Student-reported inconsistencies in PBL can lead to dissatisfaction.
  • Faculty efforts to clarify expectations have not fully resolved consistency issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore student and faculty perceptions of consistency in a PBL-based nursing program.
  • To identify factors contributing to perceived inconsistencies in PBL.
  • To inform strategies for improving student satisfaction within PBL.

Main Methods:

  • Interpretive descriptive qualitative design.
  • Focus groups and in-depth interviews with 31 students and faculty.
  • Data analysis using Morse & Field's four intellectual processes.

Main Results:

  • Less experienced students equated consistency with sameness and fairness.
  • More experienced students and faculty showed tolerance for ambiguity and valued tailored learning.
  • Clear communication and faculty development were identified as positive strategies for enhancing consistency.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the meaning of consistency is key to improving PBL programs.
  • Strategies derived from this study can increase student satisfaction.
  • Early intervention in PBL programs can mitigate issues related to perceived inconsistency.
