Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

8.3K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

1.4K
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...

Introduction to Biological Bases of Psychology

3.6K
Biopsychology serves as a vital bridge connecting the intricate domains of biology and psychology, shedding light on how biological systems influence psychological phenomena. This field scrutinizes the biological substrates of behavior and mental processes, emphasizing the nervous system along with the roles of neurotransmitters, hormones, and genetics. It also incorporates evolutionary perspectives to explain the adaptive nature of mental functions.
The nervous system, the cornerstone of...

Biostatistics: Overview

382
Biostatistics plays a crucial role in understanding and analyzing data in healthcare and biology. Biostatisticians conduct experiments, gather evidence, and draw meaningful conclusions using statistical methods and techniques. Different variables form the foundation of biostatistical analysis, allowing researchers to understand and interpret data effectively. These variables are classified into different types, each serving a specific purpose in statistical analysis.
Discrete variables are...

Area of Science:

  • Biology Education
  • Higher Education Pedagogy

Background:

  • Two-year colleges serve a majority of students, including students of color.
  • Instructor professional development (PD) is crucial for student success but under-researched at two-year institutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the professional development needs and preferences of two-year college biology instructors.
  • To inform the inclusive design of professional development for biology educators.

Main Methods:

  • Exploratory study involving a literature review and interviews with ten two-year college biology instructors.
  • Contextualized interview results with teaching styles and strategies based on education research.

Main Results:

  • Instructors preferred PD that was readily applicable to their courses and included follow-up community support.
  • High interest was observed in PD supporting inclusive pedagogy and non-biology learning goals (study skills, metacognition, quantitative skills).

Conclusions:

  • Professional development for two-year college biology instructors should prioritize practical application and community building.
  • Inclusive pedagogy and broader learning skills are key areas for PD in biology education at two-year colleges.
