Nursing Education Research
Nursing Education Research
Health care is changing at an unprecedented pace, and, so too is
higher education. The public as well as students are demanding
greater accountability from institutions of higher learning.
The student population is increasingly diverse and technology is
altering the way students and teachers interact. With the enormity
of material to be learned, the amount of information students are
asked to absorb and integrate has increased at a phenomenal rate.
In nursing, these challenges are compounded by a lack of teachers
qualified to design innovative curricula and teaching-learning
strategies to prepare students for a rapidly changing clinical
environment. Without adequate research to prove what works
effectively and what doesn't, schools don't know what to change
or how to change it. Rigorous, systematic, multi-site,
multi-method research is needed to determine why certain
nnovations are effective and, thereby, provide for nursing education
that is based on solid evidence. Yet lack of a sustained funding
stream precludes examining educational strategies over time, from
multiple perspectives, and using multiple methods.
