Summary
A conceptual grid helped nursing faculty assess and improve a new concept-based curriculum, addressing issues in concept delivery and enhancing student learning. This tool proved vital for curriculum refinement.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- An undergraduate nursing program transitioned from a biomedical model to a concept-based curriculum.
- Faculty encountered challenges with concept implementation and timing in the new curriculum.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a tool for assessing a new concept-based nursing curriculum.
- To identify and rectify issues within the revised curriculum.
Main Methods:
- A conceptual grid was created to guide the assessment process.
- The grid facilitated a structured evaluation of the curriculum's effectiveness.
Main Results:
- The conceptual grid provided a clear framework for curriculum assessment.
- Faculty successfully identified and corrected problems hindering student learning.
Conclusions:
- The conceptual grid is a valuable tool for evaluating newly implemented concept-based curricula.
- This assessment method aids in optimizing nursing education and student outcomes.

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing.

2.7K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

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...
