Facilitating learning of student nurses during clinical placement : registered nurses' perceptions

Mongwe, Rirhandzu Norah 30 November 2001 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the perceptions of registered nurses with regard to facilitating the learning of student nurses during clinical placement. Focus group interviews with fifteen registered nurses were done, followed by participant observations in two clinical areas, to gain a clearer picture of obstacles, as well as the strategies employed during placement of student nurses in the clinical area. The :findings indicate that facilitation of the learning of student nurses during clinical placement is achieved by guidance, involvement, assisting and supervision of student nurses in the clinical area by nurses of all categories, and medical and paramedical personnel. Many obstacles were identified which obstruct the employment of strategies that are suitable for facilitation in the clinical area. Guidelines for the facilitation of learning of student nurses were recommended, to improve facilitation in the clinical area. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)

EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF WORK-BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FROM THE STUDENT PERSPECTIVE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF CAREER PATHWAYS, WORKFORCE EXPECTATIONS, AND THE TRANSMISSION OF CULTURAL CAPITAL

Boone, Robert 01 January 2019 (has links)
Understanding the practical implications of work-based learning opportunities (WBLOs) is complex. Although WBLOs are not new learning environments, understanding and clearly defining them is increasingly necessary. In Kentucky, WBLOs are part of the political discourse in post-secondary education. The Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) and local/regional economic and workforce development agencies have incorporated strengthening and growing WBLOs into their strategic plans. By interviewing students that have completed WBLOs at three colleges in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS), this study intended to explore student perspectives of WBLOs by asking the following research questions: 1) What role do WBLOs play in transmitting dominant workplace cultural capital and how has that transmission impacted student career pathway decisions? 2) What impact do WBLOs have in developing workplace expectations post-graduation? The dissertation is produced in three manuscripts, including a companion piece written in collaboration with Lauren McCrary, examining faculty perspectives of WBLOs in Kentucky. The second manuscript is an essay addressing the concept of workforce mis-alignment between the skills possessed by post-secondary graduates and the need of industry. The third manuscript is a review of the research, which was conducted to explore student perspectives of WBLOs in relation to the research questions.

EXPLORING INFLUENCES AND USING INTENTIONALITY TO DEVELOP WORK-BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES: A FACULTY PERSPECTIVE

McCrary, Lauren 01 January 2019 (has links)
Understanding the practical implications related to experiential learning is complex. It is important to first view experiential learning as an umbrella term under which work-based learning (WBL) is housed. To further particularize, there are different avenues for students to pursue work-based learning opportunities (WBLOs), with internships and cooperative education being two. Although these are not new learning environments, understanding and clearly defining them (to both internal and external bodies) is increasingly necessary. In Kentucky, WBLOs are part of the political discourse on postsecondary education. The Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) and local economic development agencies have incorporated strengthening and growing WBLOs into their strategic plans. This demand is echoed by students and parents. By interviewing faculty with varying enrollments in their WBLOs, this study set out to explore influences on the development and implementation of these experiences from their perspective. The dissertation is written in three manuscripts, including a companion piece written in collaboration with Robert Boone that examines WBLOs from a complementary faculty (McCrary) and student perspective (Boone). It situates the problem of practice (WBLOs) in the current landscape of Kentucky Community and Technical College System. The second manuscript describes anticipated and unanticipated findings related to the development and implementation of WBLOs drawn from my interviews with WBLO coordinators across the state. Selected examples include the role of the advisory board and faculty background on the development of WBLOs and stakeholder preparation and conveying benefits to the community during implementation. The third manuscript explores obstacles encountered and offers potential avenues to circumvent or overcome said obstacles based on information collected through the interviews of this qualitative, exploratory study. This dissertation will be of use to both senior administrators interested in increasing WBLOs at their institution and to faculty who are interested in offering the opportunities to their students. This study offers insight to current practices related to WBLO development and implementation and offers potential avenues to overcome obstacles.

Anpassningar i den ordinarie undervisningen för elever med språkstörning i gymnasieskolan : En kvantitativ studie om anpassningar för elever med språkstörning samt om relationen mellan lärares utbildning och erfarenhet inom området och olika anpassningar och stöd i verksamheten / Adjustments in Regular Education for Pupils with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in Upper Secondary School : A quantitative Study about Adjustments for Pupils with DLD and the Relation between Teachers' Education, Experience within the Area, and Adjustments and Support in the Education

Törn, Marie, Högberg, Angelica January 2022 (has links)
Majoriteten av alla gymnasieelever med språkstörning går i ordinarie verksamheter i gymnasieskolan. Trots det beskrivs ofta språkstörning som en relativt okänd funktionsnedsättning. Syftet med denna studie var att bidra med kunskap om vilka typer av anpassningar och stöd som erbjuds elever med språkstörning inom ramen för den ordinarie undervisningen. Studien syftade vidare till att bidra med kunskap om relationen mellan lärares utbildning och erfarenhet inom området och olika anpassningar och stöd i verksamheten. Studien är kvantitativ med en deduktiv ansats. Studiens teoretiska ramverk lyfter framför allt fram kommunikationsstödjande lärmiljöer utifrån dimensionerna språkinlärningsmiljö, språkinlärningsmöjligheter och språkinlärningsinteraktioner. Populationen utgjordes av gymnasielärare. Ett stratifierat icke-proportionellt slumpmässigt urval av kommuner gjordes. Urvalsramen var ett utdrag ur skolenhetsregistret. Datainsamlingsmetoden var en digital enkät. Enkäten skickades till rektorer i valda kommuner för vidarebefordran till gymnasielärare. I studien deltog 186 personer. Insamlad empiri analyserades med hjälp av deskriptiv statistik och variansanalyser. Resultatet visade att de svarande instämde helt eller delvis i majoriteten av de undersökta anpassningarna. Inom språkinlärningsmiljö återfanns de anpassningar som flest av de svarande helt eller delvis tog avstånd ifrån. Sammantaget visar resultatet att det är lärare som har haft möjlighet att kompetensutveckla/fortbilda sig som har störst medvetenhet och vilja att göra vissa anpassnignar som de tror kan gynna elever med olika former av språkstörning. Formell utbildning, år i yrket och typ av lärarexamen tycks däremot ha en marginell eller liten betydelse för hur lärare anpassar, prioriterar och riktar sin undervisning till elever med språkstörning. / The majority of all the upper secondary pupils with developmental language disorder (DLD) participate in regular education. Still, DLD is often described as a relatively unknown disability. The aim of this study was to broaden the knowledge of (1) what type of adjustments and support are offered to pupils with DLD in regular education, and (2) the relation between teachers' education, experience within the area, and adjustments and support in the education. It was a quantative study with a deductive approach. The theoretical framework was a theory about communication supporting classrooms based on the dimensions, language learning environment, language learning opportunities and language learning interactions. The population was upper secondary school teachers. A stratified random disproportionate sample of municipalities was conducted where the sample space was an extract from the school unit register. A survey was sent to heads of schools for forwarding to teachers. 186 individuals participated in the study. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and variance analysis. The results showed that the respondents fully or partially agreed with most of the adjustments proposed in the questionnaire. However, the fewest number of adjustments were made within the language learning environment. Overall, the results show that teachers who have had the opportunity to participate in professional development showed the greatest awareness and willingness to make certain adjustments that they believe can benefit pupils with various forms of DLD. Whereas formal training, years in the profession and type of teaching degree, seem to have a marginal influence on how teachers adapt, prioritize and direct their teaching to pupils with DLD.

An Exploratory Study of the Impact of COVID-19 on the Cyberpsychology of the K12 Student Support Ecosystem

Howard, Erin Linette 05 1900 (has links)
This dissertation explores how student support services (SSS) within the K-12 ecosystem's relationship with technology, or cyberpsychology, has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic grounded in the ecological systems theory (EST) framework. The first article investigated professional school counselors' use of technology for communication to meet student needs while upholding the American School Counseling Association's (ASCA) high ethical standards. The study examined how professional school counselors navigated using technology for communication amidst school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second article explored the learning experiences of emergent bilingual (EB) educators in virtual settings. This study gained insight into the unique experiences of EB educators during and after COVID-19 working with students in virtual learning environments. The third article took a more personal approach by conducting individual interviews to gain insight into the challenges in technology use by the K-12 student support services (SSS) ecosystem throughout the pandemic. Participants shared their celebrations and their struggles of their personal experiences with technology during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. A story is found in these works as the three manuscripts come together to illustrate the impact of the pandemic on the cyberpsychology of the K-12 SSS ecosystem, nested in the overarching K-12 ecosystem.

Contribution of unit managers in the training of student nurses in the Cape Peninsula

Guwa, Sybil Nolundi 06 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of unit managers towards the training of student nurses coming to their units for clinical practica. The sample consisted of students training in the four nursing colleges in the Cape Peninsula, and unit managers working in health services accommodating students for clinical practica in the same area. The findings revealed that the majority of unit managers were teaching students whenever they had the opportunity. Generally unit managers were prepared for their teaching function, but many students were not satisfied with some clinical learning opportunities presented to them, for example drawing up patients' care plans, discussing patients' treatment plans when handing over report, giving assistance regarding patient care decisions and lending support when students are confronted with patient care problems. There appears to be a need to educate unit managers regarding these and other aspects of the students' training programme. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)
