In this course, participants advance their theoretical understanding of nursing practice as it relates to their self-selected nursing practice focus. 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. Course concepts and essential content are as follows:
In this course, participants develop and implement a learning contract under the guidance of a faculty member, advancing their knowledge development, contracting, and consultation skills. Participants engage in both individual and collective processes of inquiry to advance their knowledge in a self-selected nursing practice focus. Each participant is required to identify an area, or areas, for further study that relates to their self-selected nursing practice focus, and to develop and fulfill a learning contract. Through active participation in seminars, participants raise issues, clarify questions, challenge assumptions, and/or propose solutions. In doing so, participants refine their abilities to collaborate in processes of inquiry. Seminars may be scheduled weekly at the beginning of the semester, then regularly but periodically during the remainder of the semester. As the seminars progress, participants may choose to arrange theme group seminars rather than seminars of the whole.
Course evaluation is consistent with Douglas College Curriculum Development and Approval Policy. An evaluation schedule is developed at the beginning of the course. There will be a minimum of three assessments which will include an annotated bibliography, a paper, and at least one other assessment. Respect for individual choice and an openness to negotiate will guide decisions about methods of evaluation.
This is a graded course.
In this course participants have opportunities to:
