Synopsis

Course design for nursing school courses require strict adherence to the most recent research, theory, and techniques to make future nursing students competitive. Nurse educator books need to be revamped to reflect these improvements in nurse education. The fourth edition of Curriculum Development and Evaluation in Nursing Education, Fourth Edition, provides a clear springboard for graduate students and faculty to learn how to focus course material and filter out irrelevant material and approaches. These chapters have been updated to reflect best practices in curriculum development and approval processes for an educational environment that is constantly changing, as well as strategies for applying theory, educational taxonomies, team-building, needs assessment, and the frame factor's model. Nursing educator books so rarely thoroughly prepare educators to assist with providing excellent methods for instructing ADN, BSN, master's and doctoral education.

Any medical or nurse school will benefit from the detailed knowledge and practice applications necessary to help faculty participate in academia's various essential roles, including instruction, curriculum, and evaluation. With a focus on interdisciplinary collaboration, the book addresses the growth of simulation, how to help new faculty transition into the academic role, and use of curriculum in both practice and academic settings. Additionally, the book describes the history and evolution of current nursing curricula and presents the theories, concepts, and tools necessary for curriculum development. Chapters include objectives, discussion points, and learning activities, and this book provides assistance with achieving CNE certification review.
