A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Virtual Work01:20

Virtual Work

The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...
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...
Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a bonus...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Program Design
  • Curriculum Development
  • Higher Education

Background:

  • Educational programs must demonstrate content alignment with key outcomes to students, staff, and regulators.
  • Illustrating integral themes within a curriculum can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel method for enhancing curriculum transparency and regulatory compliance.
  • To demonstrate how existing course elements can be repurposed without curriculum redesign.

Main Methods:

  • Developed 'virtual courses' by repackaging and mapping existing course elements related to specific themes.
  • Highlighted instances where themes are taught, experienced, and assessed within the current curriculum.
  • Ensured individual course elements remained unchanged to avoid curriculum disruption.

Main Results:

  • Virtual courses provide clear signposting of how specific themes are integrated throughout a program.
  • This approach facilitates compliance with external regulatory requirements.
  • Enhanced transparency benefits both students and educators.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual course development is a valuable strategy for improving program transparency and quality assurance.
  • It allows educational institutions to adapt to new initiatives and regulatory demands efficiently.
  • This method supports effective curriculum management without necessitating a complete overhaul.
