Summary
Nursing faculty explore wisdom as a universal, faith-inspired experience guiding their teaching and global service. This concept enhances their core identity and collaborative learning during international experiences.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Philosophy of Experience
- Theology and Spirituality
Background:
- Faculty at a faith-based institution explore the concept of wisdom.
- Wisdom is viewed as a universal human experience co-created with faith and divine understanding.
- The authors' personal and professional lives are influenced by this concept.
Purpose of the Study:
- To discuss the authors' concept of wisdom.
- To explain how wisdom guides their nursing education and practice.
- To illustrate the application of wisdom in global service learning.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative discussion and conceptual analysis of wisdom.
- Reflection on personal and professional experiences.
- Application of wisdom in global service-learning contexts.
Main Results:
- Wisdom is an inherent, universal experience inspired by faith and co-created with others.
- Global service experiences provide a platform for applying and strengthening wisdom.
- These experiences foster a deeper sense of self ('whatness') and collaborative teaching-learning.
Conclusions:
- Wisdom, informed by faith, is a guiding principle in nursing education and practice.
- Global service-learning is a valuable context for cultivating and expressing wisdom.
- The concept of wisdom enhances professional identity and pedagogical approaches in nursing.

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.

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

01:25Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development from Childhood into Adulthood
105
Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development emphasizes the role of thinking in a child's learning process, suggesting that children are naturally curious about their environment. His approach to development is discontinuous, proposing that cognitive abilities progress through distinct stages, each with unique characteristics. Central to Piaget's theory is schemata—mental structures that allow individuals to understand and interpret the world.

01:22Purposive Learning
117
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...

01:19Critical Thinking
100
Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.
