Overcoming resistance to change is key for curriculum revision. The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) successfully engaged faculty in identifying necessary undergraduate nursing curriculum changes, leading to full support for the revised program.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Organizational Change Management

Background:

  • Curriculum revision requires overcoming faculty resistance and self-interest.
  • An "unfreezing" of values and interests is essential for curriculum change.
  • Faculty engagement is critical for successful implementation of revised curricula.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the use of the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) for curriculum revision.
  • To facilitate faculty identification of areas for improvement in the undergraduate nursing curriculum.
  • To assess the impact of a participatory approach on faculty support for curriculum change.

Main Methods:

  • The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) was employed as the primary methodology.
  • Faculty participated in idea generation for curriculum revision.

  • A structured group process was used to identify areas needing change.

    • Main Results:

    • The NGT process effectively generated numerous independent ideas from all participating faculty.
    • The method facilitated a shared understanding of areas requiring curriculum modification.
    • The revised curriculum achieved full and enthusiastic faculty support.

    Conclusions:

    • The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is an effective strategy for overcoming resistance to change in curriculum revision.
    • Participatory methods like NGT foster faculty buy-in and support for educational program changes.
    • Successful curriculum revision in nursing education can be achieved through collaborative faculty engagement.
