    Summary

    Academic nursing practice is increasingly expected but not universally adopted. Critical theory offers a philosophical framework to better integrate this practice into nursing education and identify its core values.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Academic Practice
    • Higher Education

    Background:

    • Academic practice is becoming more common in nursing schools for faculty.
    • However, its integration and conceptualization vary significantly across institutions.
    • Few existing models are grounded in a distinct philosophy of practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present critical theory as a framework for practice-based nursing education.
    • To explore how philosophical underpinnings can guide academic nursing practice.
    • To aid educators in defining the values of academic nursing practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Consideration of critical theory.
    • Application of philosophical underpinnings of practice.
    • Analysis of existing models of academic nursing practice.
