The focus of this course is knowledge development in nursing. Course concepts are addressed in relation to the four foundational concepts (ways of knowing, personal meaning, time/transitions, and culture/context), integrating the metaconcepts of health promotion and caring. Participants’ experiences, interests, and choices are considered. The nurse’s role in knowledge development is emphasized. Course concepts and essential content are as follows:
Inquiry
Ways of Inquiring
Nursing Theories and Concepts (individuals and families)
Praxis
Praxis is the underlying process used in this course. Participants critically examine how nurses “know” and processes of inquiry in nursing. Beginning from the perspective of oneself as a knower, participants continue to explore how to become knowers within the discipline of nursing and how to engage as active participants in the development of the growing body of knowledge in nursing. Critical reflection, values, experiences, and theory are integrated. Building on previous knowledge, participants develop skill in critical evaluation of knowledge.
Course evaluation is consistent with Douglas College Curriculum Development and Approval Policy. An evaluation schedule is presented at the beginning of the course. There will be a minimum of three assessments which will typically include exams, quizzes, papers, and/or presentations. Respect for individual choice and an openness to negotiate will guide decisions about methods of evaluation.
This is a graded course.
