About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores organizational changes in curriculum management by combining educational interventions with behavioral science technology to optimize transition from old to new curriculum within health schools. The author, an expert in behavioral science, conducted a two-year study across two nursing schools undergoing major curriculum changes. The study findings reveal that educational interventions positively influenced the change process, leading to a smoother transition. The research demonstrates how the integration of educational learning activities can facilitate attitude changes, leading to clearer problem definition, more effective management of change, and improved governance structures. This innovative approach to curriculum change management provides valuable insights and strategies for healthcare organizations seeking to improve the implementation and effectiveness of their educational programs.

About this title

Synopsis

Practical guidance for leading major curriculum change in health education.

This book outlines how to diagnose organizational dynamics, design targeted educational interventions, and manage the transition when health schools shift from discipline-based teaching to system-based or primary-care focuses. Grounded in real-world testing at nursing schools, it offers a structured view of the people, processes, and plans needed to sustain change.

Readers will find a clear map of issues that arise during planning, implementation, and stabilization, plus concrete examples of interventions that help teams work together, allocate responsibilities, and keep momentum. The discussion includes how to diagnose current conditions, set goals, and create practical plans that engage faculty and administrators alike.

• Step-by-step guidance on diagnosing organizational needs before changing curriculum
• Methods for designing and applying educational interventions in complex settings
• Strategies to build leadership, coordination, and teamwork during transitions
• Approaches to maintaining change while fostering ongoing renewal

Ideal for educators, administrators, and change agents involved in health education and curriculum design.
