Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Objective: To explore and compare the use of metacognitive, cognitive, and environmental resource management self regulatory learning (SRL) strategies used by a national sample of students enrolled in traditional and accelerated baccalaureate nursing programs. Background: Learner focused reforms in nursing education require students to assume more responsibility for learning. Nursing student responsibility for learning is reflected in their use of metacognitive, cognitive, and environmental resource SRL strategies. Learning strategy use promotes the development of clinical reasoning and lifelong learning skills requisite to meet the needs of complex patients in a dynamic healthcare environment. Method: Using Bandura’s social cognitive theory as a framework, the learning subscales of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire were used to survey a national sample of 514 baccalaureate nursing students enrolled in their final semester of a traditional baccalaureate nursing program or a 12-month accelerated baccalaureate program. Delineation of student use of metacognitive, cognitive (rehearsal, organization, and elaboration), and environmental resource management (help seeking, peer learning, effort regulation, and time and study environment) SRL strategies was examined by program and in light of age, grade point average (GPA), weekly hours spent studying independently, and weekly hours spent in employment. Results: Differences in SRL strategy use were found between the program groups and between program groups divided by sample age. Older students in both the accelerated and traditional programs used more metacognition and elaboration SRL strategies than their younger traditional counterparts. Older traditional students used significantly more effort regulation SRL strategies than both groups of younger students. Both older groups of students studied significantly more, used significantly more time and study environment SRL strategies, and had significantly higher GPAs than the younger groups of students from both programs. Conclusions: This study provides a framework for learner focused nursing education by explicitly defining differences in SRL strategy use of students enrolled in traditional and accelerated baccalaureate nursing programs.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur grundskolelärares uppfattning om problemlösning stämmer överens med hur forskning och styrdokument och ser på problemlösning. Undersökningen genomfördes med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Genom lärar-observationer och semistrukturerade intervjuer studerade lärares syn på problemlösning och hur de arbetar med problemlösning. Efter genomförandet analyserades lärarnas syn på problemlösning, lärares uppfattningar om syftet, hur de arbetade samt lärarnas roll i arbetet med problemlösning.  Resultatet visar att grundskolelärarna arbetar med problemlösning men att det kan finnas en osäkerhet kring begreppets innebörd och betydelse. Slutsatsen blev att grundskolelärarna till viss del arbetar med vad forskning anser är problemlösning. / The aim of the study is to examine how teachers’ perception of problem solving are consistent with that of which is concluded in both research and the curriculum. The investigation was conducted with a qualitative method. Through teacher observations and semi-structured interviews, we studied teachers' views on problem solving and how they work with problem solving. After the implementation an analysis was made containing teachers' views on problem solving, their perceptions about the aim, how they work and their place in the work on problem solving. The result shows that primary school teachers work with problem solving, but that there may be uncertainty about the meaning and significance of the concept. The conclusion, based on the results, shows that elementary school teachers work to some extent of what science considers problem solving. However, the result also shows that the lack of basic knowledge in the matter has lead to a deficient education in solving problem.
