    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Curriculum Development
    • Educational Evaluation

    Background:

    • Existing baccalaureate nursing programs require periodic evaluation to ensure relevance and quality.
    • Curriculum review processes can face challenges due to various influencing factors.
    • Force field theory offers a valuable framework for analyzing change dynamics in educational settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively examine the process of reviewing an existing baccalaureate nursing curriculum.
    • To identify factors contributing to disequilibrium within the nursing program.
    • To describe the driving and restraining forces influencing the curriculum review.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of a baccalaureate nursing curriculum review process.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Application of Kurt Lewin's force field theory to analyze change dynamics.
  • Review of relevant curriculum literature to support the evaluation framework.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified specific factors that created disequilibrium in the nursing curriculum.
    • Described the driving forces that promoted change and restraining forces that resisted it.
    • Presented change strategies implemented to move the curriculum towards equilibrium.

    Conclusions:

    • The curriculum review process, guided by force field analysis, can effectively address program disequilibrium.
    • Understanding driving and restraining forces is crucial for successful curriculum change.
    • Guidelines derived from this review can inform future nursing curriculum development and evaluation.
