| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the serial relationship between behavioral criteria (competencies) and the measured evidence of the application of the competencies by the learner. Specifically, our task is twofold: 1) to describe the development of a competency based educational program; and 2) to measure the application of those competencies by the learner in clinical field settings. The specified competencies are select behaviors from a nursing curriculum. This study concentrates on the educational process and the application of specified behavior during the learning period. No attempt is made to examine the relative merits of the select behaviors or to measure the effects of the application of nurse behavior on changes in patient health status. The author starts with the basic assumptions that: 1) education (learning) is a developing science; 2) special education contributes substantially to the development of educational technology; 3) professional education shares some common concerns with special education, and 4) the educational process for nursing education has the same attributes as education in general. | en_US |
