Nurse Educators Teaching Through the Lens of Transformative Learning Theory
The Journal of Nursing Education
|April 4, 2019
Summary
Nurse educators using transformative learning strategies enhance teaching effectiveness and student outcomes. This approach prepares nursing graduates for complex healthcare environments by fostering essential transformations.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pedagogy
- Transformative Learning Theory
Background:
- Nurse educators' experiences are crucial for effective undergraduate nursing instruction.
- Understanding these experiences through transformative learning theory provides valuable insights.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore nurse educators' experiences teaching undergraduate nursing students.
- To examine the application of transformative learning theory in nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative case study involving 11 nurse educators.
- Data triangulation through administrator interviews, student surveys, classroom observations, and records review.
Main Results:
- Inductive analysis identified five key themes: Stepping Off the Stage, Teaching Outside the Box, Finding the Balance, Who's in Charge?, and Seeing Is Believing.
- These themes reveal innovative approaches in nursing pedagogy.
Conclusions:
- The study illuminates a novel phenomenon in nursing education.
- Transformative learning strategies enhance teaching, optimize student outcomes, and prepare graduates for complex healthcare settings.

2.0K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

2.4K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

2.5K
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,...

When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).
