This project describes the development of a curriculum for a certificate programme in Advanced Cardiac Care for Registered Nurses, developed for implementation at a large urban community college. The author describes the process of curriculum development undertaken and presents the actual curriculum designed. The implementation of one module is presented to demonstrate that the teaching of factual knowledge and skills can be integrated with the higher level skills of problem solving. An evaluation of the implementation of the module is also presented. Throughout this project emphasis is placed on educational theory and on the practising health professional as the learner. / Thesis / Master of Science (Teaching)
