Abstract |
This study identifies, describes and generates a theoretical explanation of what it means to be a Nurse educator in New Zealand in the 1990's. It explores individual experiences within the broader social context. Sixteen participants from three Schools of Nursing in New Zealand were interviewed over a four month period. Constant comparative analysis of data eventuated in the identification of four conceptual categories named as : being a teacher, settling down, finding a place and coping with change. They were then drawn into the core category – Being – in- Becoming. Being – in- Becoming, means in this study, that a person is the Nurse teacher simply because that person has taken on the work of a teacher. In being a teacher, the person is adapting, changing and learning how to become a teacher. Being – in- Becoming, is a process which is on going, never ending, and constantly changing. The essence of this study is that the teacher's experience of Being – in- Becoming. is influenced by personal development and the way the person comes to 'know' about the world of Nursing education who is also intimately connected to the way Nursing curriculum is defined and experienced by individual teachers. These findings have implications for Nursing education , in recognition of teacher's concerns, background meanings and problems which influence a person's experience of being a Nurse educator. Expectations that feelings should be 'managed' therefore ignored is consistent in a group which claims caring as the essence of Nursing practice. Excessive workloads are constantly cited as a major problem for worker. The organisation has the responsibility to acknowledge the human experience of those who work within this area and to undertake to respond in ways which can improve the situation for all |

Abstract |
This research project was undertaken with the aim of making teaching and learning processes in the first year of the programme explicit to ensure successful strategies could be replicated and limitations addressed. Action research methodology was utilized to explore which tutors and students the philosophy of teaching, the student/tutor relationship, preferred learning styles and teaching methods, and influences on student learning. Findings elucidated that the philosophy and teaching methods used in the programme were congruent with the goals of the Polytechnic,, the curriculum aims, and current nursing ideologies. Students preferred small group, interactive teaching, did not always rate their ability accurately, and tended to downgrade their ability and did progressively less preparatory work for classes as the year progressed. Factors that impacted on the learning of this mainly mature group were external to the programme and included paid employment, family responsibilities, unexpected life events, lack of time and/or space to study, and financial problems. The research was used to determine the structure of the first year of the 1994 Bachelor of Nursing programme which articulated more clearly the process and pathway for students to become self directed learners. The research process was challenging and provided many useful insights for tutors and students |
