Leaving Academia| Work Experiences and Career Decisions of Former Nurse FacultyHancock, Carie Denise 16 February 2017 (has links)
<p> Faculty shortages are a primary obstacle to increasing the supply of potential nurses. Research indicates that few academically qualified nurses are choosing to work in faculty jobs. Among nurse faculty, reported turnover intention rates are high. Faculty departures for non-academic positions contribute to the growing shortage. The purpose of this research was to understand the faculty work experience and identify career decision factors from the perspective of former nurse faculty. The research was designed using Maxwell’s (2013) interactive model for qualitative research. The investigator purposefully selected a diverse sample of 12 participants who left academia for other employment. Data were collected with in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Analysis was inductive and used open coding, categorizing, and connecting strategies. Ten themes emerged to answer the research questions. Six themes described the nurse faculty work experience: (a) enjoyment of teaching role, (b) leadership quality, (c) collegial relationships, (d) work hours / workload, (e) career advancement and pay, and (f) student attitudes. The decision to change careers was shaped by two themes: (a) disenchantment, and (b) opportunity. Two themes summarized participant recommendations to make the faculty work experience more enticing: (a) improve compensation and (b) improve the work environment and organizational support. The results were interpreted using a conceptual model of determinants of nurse faculty career decisions.</p>

Krishnamurti and the dance of dialogue: instigating insight in higher educationFlexer, Jerry 01 August 2019 (has links)
This study examines the dialogic approach of the Indian-born educational philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895 – 1986), who had developed his own unique approach to dialogue with small groups. The research considered two questions. First, whether Krishnamurti’s dialogic approach is one that could be described by specific strategies and techniques; and second, whether this approach and its strategies and techniques could be adapted, adopted, or emulated for use in higher education. In Chapter One of the paper, Krishnamurti’s general philosophy and his specific philosophy of education are reviewed, with the aim of placing his dialogic approach within the context of his educational philosophy. The second chapter addresses the study’s research questions by presenting a two-part analysis of a transcript of the one-hour dialogue that took place in California in 1981 between Krishnamurti and six American college students. First, even though he used no notes and no lesson plan, the thematic content analysis of this particular dialogue shows that relevant content had in fact been covered and learned, and that this content had emerged as a consequence of Krishnamurti’s direction as a facilitator of learning. Second, specific strategies and techniques employed by Krishnamurti in this dialogue were identified and described, with specific examples as presented from the transcript.
The third chapter explores the context of Krishnamurti’s approach within a recent developing trend in educational philosophy; a trend described as holistic and transformative, focused as it is on encouraging change in learners’ thinking about concepts, rather than on transmitting knowledge from educators to learners. This exploration is done by describing several existing examples of holistic and transformative educational approaches. Some of these described existing approaches are expressly informed by Krishnamurti’s educational philosophy, while others, though not expressly informed by Krishnamurti, are nonetheless consistent with his approach. In the final chapter, it is proposed that the analysis of the dialogue in Chapter Two and the comparative context analysis in Chapter Three show that Krishnamurti’s dialogic approach both fits well within the general direction and nature of this existing and developing holistic and transformative trend in the philosophy of education, on the one hand, and is also uniquely distinguishable from existing approaches in meaningful ways, on the other. Chapter Four concludes, then, as a result, that Krishnamurti’s approach can be adapted, emulated, or adopted for beneficial results in higher education. / Graduate
