Nurse Educators Utilizing Narratives with Technology to Improve the Student Learning Experience
Tomasino, Jeanette R.
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Capella University
Nursing education must evolve with the ever-changing forms of communication and technology and recognize generational differences in learning. The use of technology has created many opportunities to develop new teaching strategies in nursing education. Students today require and demand new educational approaches. The need to prepare students for a rapidly changing health care system should capture educators' attention in developing the student's thinking abilities at all levels of the nurse education program. This paper describes educational strategies used by eight nurse educators in a baccalaureate nursing program that considered the characteristics of this generation's access to technology and how they created activities that use the technology to promote higher levels of thinking. The research question was how do nurse educators utilize narrative pedagogies with technology to improve the learning experience? This was a basic qualitative research study. The data collected in the study came from interviews of the eight nurse educators. The participants were selected purposely selected based on their response to two open ended questions regarding use of technology and narratives in the classroom. This study utilized a semi-structured face to face interview process. There were nine expert reviewed guided interview questions. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The Morse & Field's qualitative content analysis was employed to analyze the data. The four main themes that emerged from the data, attention, learning, sensation and relating seem to have been developed by the utilization of narratives and technology in the classroom. Improving attention, promoting active learning, involving the senses and relating to one another showed to be important in the academic and psychosocial development of nursing students at the baccalaureate level.
