Be careful! This order content two different related issues. However, each one of them should be half page long. First one. -Two views of education-Traditional view of education and progressive view of education. Both traditional and progressive views take on consideration the student, the teacher, curriculum, and method to write the half page.
Second one. -Pragmatism notes and quotes- To understand about what you must write I will copy here the text for you. Your writing will be an explaination of the quotes.
Principal theme; the reality of change, man is a social and biological being, the relativity of values, the use of critical intelligences. Reality is the interaction of man with his environment-it si what we experience. man and his environment are "coordinates." They equally respond for what is real. Man gives meaning tothe universe. the child must study the world as it aaffects him. Human nature is plastic and changeable. A child only grows by assocating with other-he must learn to 'to live in a community of individuals,' cooperate with them and adapt to social needs and goals. Knowledge is produced by a transaction between man and his environmet. We grasp things best by locating and solving problems. Education is all one with growing-it has no end beyond itself. The value of schooling is the extent to which it encourages a desire for continued growth. a child is a natural learner, because he is -curious-The teacher's role is to stimulate the curiosity. Values are realtive, and the child should learn how to make different moral decisions, not by relying upon rigidlystated principles bu by decideing which actionis ikely to produce tthe most favorable consequences for the greatest number of human beings. "Education should be life itself, not preparation for living.' learning should be directly relaed to the interests of the child. Learning through problem-solving should take precedence over the inculcating of subject matter. the teacher's role is not to direct, but to advise. The school should encourrage cooperation rather than competition. Only democracy permits, indeed encourages, the free in terplay of ideas and personalities that is a necessary condition of true growth.

Please research and comment on the following five.


1. A dynamic curriculum is one in which includes all of the concepts such as caring, self-care, diversity, growth and development, nursing process, adaptation, informatics and evidence-based practice and the identification of what is relevant for practice in the future. Requisite knowledge and competencies are centered around what nurses do with their knowledge through their education. Current health care trends that affect curriculum development and program outcomes include the increasing severity of patients' illnesses from acute care settings to community based settings and the increasing demand from the public for high quality health care at affordable prices. Other indices include increased emphasis on patient safety and quality assurance. (Billings & Halstead, 2012). One nursing educational institution acknowledged that most the changes have been promoted by the shifting of demographics, technology, informatics and the globalization of society. Nurses make up the largest number of providers of healthcare services continue to be essential. Their curriculum is subject to rigorous review and frequent adjustments. The nurse educator is challenged to stream line content and identify essential concepts to prepare the graduates for entry into practice. (Faison & Montaue, 2013). I think schools of nursing need to evaluate the clinical experience as well. Because hospital stays are shortened, other alternative practice sites need to be incorporated into the student's portfolio. Limited opportunities for skills such as IV insertion and complex dressing changes may not present themselves due to the hospital restrictions for the students. This particular school of nursing implemented webinars for the faculty to view, integrated new essential competencies into the nursing curriculum from the quality and safety education for nurses (QSEN). The results were positive in that the nurses continue to be delivery effective and safe care in their pre-licensure program. (Faison & Montague, 2013).

Faison, K., & Montague, F. (2013). Paradigm Shift: Curriculum shift. ABNF Jurnal, 24(1), 21-22.


2. There are a number of important areas in a dynamic nursing curriculum. To me, the following are the areas that are most important. Patient-centered care is essential in every nursing care curriculum as the patient is why we have become nurses. According to Morris and Hancock (2013), students and faculty agree that patient-centered care should be integrated into the curriculum. Students and faculty also agree that learning to be a part of an interdisciplinary team is needed in curricula. However, interdisciplinary team interaction is an area that needs work to ensure that the students are an active part of the team. Evidence-based practice is also an area that is very important. However, in the clinical settings this seems to be lagging in implementation. Applying quality improvement ranked low in both student and faculty opinion. However, I see this as a very important part of nursing curricula, as once you are in the work force this is a very important part of nursing practice. Utilizing informatics is an area that students and faculty agree is important to include in curricula as healthcare is required to use a computer system. The computer is also needed for classes the nursing programs and online learning.

To me, a dynamic nursing curriculum is one that gives the students a love of nursing, knowledge, skills, and competencies to have the basics to start their career as a professional nurse.

3. How could students motivate other faculty to continuously strive to improve curriculum?



4. "Competency statements identify the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students need to develop if they are to achieve program outcomes" (Billings & Halstead, 2012, p. 150). The advantage to utilizing a mid curriculum competency test or exam is to validate and assess, from the educator's perspective, that students are at the expected level of progress during a course timeframe. Students are expected to apply knowledge acquired toward patient case examples. The competency statements are valuable in determining the student's learning since it will provide the assessment for the student evaluation (Billings & Halstead, 2012).
Another advantage for the student with the mid curriculum tests is to confirm by test scores how they are acquiring and applying the course material into cognitive understanding. It can also become a tool for the student to assess their strengths and weaknesses in a given topic area where remedial assistance can provide improvement or to validate the effectiveness of their study skills and habits in a fast-paced, information dense curriculum.
A disadvantage to a comprehensive competency test is that faculty would need to spend additional classroom minutes to review previously learned material. Students can also feel that re-testing previously tested material can be very redundant, and not an area of priority for review.
Billings, D., & Halstead, J. (2012). Teaching in nursing: A guide for faculty (4th ed.). St. Louis, MO: Saunders.


5. One of the key components of a nursing program is to promote highly competent nurses that will have the ability, knowledge, and skills necessary to administer care to various individuals. Developing high levels of competency program accommodates nurses the knowledge necessary to provide the safe and efficient care possible. In such a complex health care as we have today the safety and the best outcomes of our patients is our priority. In order to measure the skills and competency of a nurse a test must be given such as a mid-curriculum which would be a great advantage for evaluation of success. According to our textbook, ?Learning occurs at various levels, and the level of learning needs to be explicit stated in the competencies faculty generated for each level within the curriculum.? (Billings & Halstead, 2009, pg. 151). A level of competency is something that achieve gradually as the student proceed to the curriculum, and one way to evaluate that competency is by testing. As mentioned by the author of our textbook, on disadvantage is that ?Students are often resistant to changes in the way in which they receive instruction because understanding new way of learning is stressful.? (Billings & Halstead, 2009, pg. 157). Any changes in life always bring stresses especially in the area of education where test involve, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantage in the long run. Not only passing a course is stressful but to some students financial burdens might be their greatest issues.

This assessment task requires you to analyse what you have learnt about the Australian Curriculum in Weeks 3 and 4 and write an essay to evaluate the effectiveness of the Curriculum as a national document.

ACARA has stated that ?an Australian Curriculum will contribute to the provision of a world-class education in Australia by setting out the knowledge, understanding and skills needed for life and work in the 21st century and by setting common high standards of achievement across the country.? (ACARA, 2013, p.5)

To what extent do you agree that the Australian Curriculum achieves what it sets out to do?

Example of Essay Map

Para 1 Structure outlining the aim and rationale, and briefly the learning area, content description, cross curricular, general capabilities and the constructivism theory as the curriculum notes it bases itself on this

Para 2 PRO - consistency and equity. The pros and cons should be backed up with supporting literature

Para 3 PRO - improves Global competitiveness and international status

Para 4 PRO - provides scope for differential learning

Para 5 CON - overcrowded curriculum,

Para 6 CON - argue does this curriculum create a world class high standard curriculum when the international testing reveals otherwise

Para 7 ? Your position on the effectiveness based on my research. This could either be one focus or discussed throughout. I would highlight it within your conclusion to close your discussion and link back to the statement.

Para 8 - Implications of implementing - Integrated learning with the ability to apply knowledge across contexts backed up with theory and literature

Para 9 ? Implications/development of 21st century skills including the use of technology backed up with theory and literature

Conclusion - Linking it all together to suggest the statement is not entirely correct but well worth persisting with a national curriculum.

The key documents refer to the Australian Curriculum and Melbourne Documentation in particular.

The aims of the Australian Curriculum- the relevant documents are any documents and research outlining what the AC aims to achieve. This is referring to supporting literature identifying the aims rather than making them up yourself.

In regards to Criteria 3 - you are looking at implications associated with the implementation of the AC and any examples you have of this from experience in schools, as a parent, volunteer or through practicum.

the research general topic is standards based curriculum and i ned to link it to my specialization which is teaching english as a second language. the paper should include an intoduction , questions and significant of the study , literature review and conclusion that suggest for further research and includes what the writer learned from the research.

Impact of Societal Forces on Education
Choose and research a school improvement idea. Identify the educational foundations that the idea has had. Explain the role and impact the idea has had on student learning. Analyze the costs of the idea in terms of legal, financial, personal, or institutional implementation. Prepare a 5-8-page research paper with appropriate reference sources.

Discussion: Interview on Curriculum Frame Factors
Last week you assessed external contextual factors impacting curriculum development. This week you turn your attention to internal contextual factors as well as to the role that certain external factors, such as standards, regulations, and accreditation requirements, play in curriculum and program development.



To better understand how these factors affect the development process, you are asked to interview an educator with some experience in curriculum development. This should be someone working in a educational program of interest to you. (Ideally, this will be the same program that you analyzed in the previous week and will analyze in the Application Assignment you begin this week. If this is not possible, however, you may interview someone from a comparable kind of program.)



Prepare yourself for this interview by gathering information about the internal contextual factors that impact this program and curriculum. These factors are listed in Table 6.3 (on pages 122??"124 in Curriculum Development in Nursing Education), and include the program's mission, philosophy, and program outcomes. Then conduct an interview with the educator, making sure to address the following questions:





What is your experience with curriculum planning? Program planning?


In what ways have you made use of the organization's mission, philosophy, and/or organizing framework in developing a program or curriculum?


In what ways have you made use of standards, regulations, and accreditation requirements in developing a program or curriculum? Which specific ones have you used and why?


What advice would you give a new educator on how to design, implement, and evaluate an assigned course so that it is supports the objectives of the program and curriculum?


With these contextual factors and interview answers in mind:




Post your summary of what you have learned, addressing the following:





Briefly describe the program you have investigated and identify the person you interviewed.


Summarize what you learned from this interview, focusing in particular on the insights you gained about the program and curriculum development process.


Assess one of the internal contextual factors (other than "mission and purpose, philosophy, and goals of the parent institution") listed in Table 6.3, and answer the related questions in the table. (Use Table 13.4 for staff development and patient education.) How is the factor is likely to impact this curriculum in the next 5 to 10 years? Provide support for your observations.

Assignment: Prepare a 1400-1750-word APA format research paper on factors of hidden curriculum that affect instruction or have an impact on instruction.

a. Provide background information on hidden curriculum.

b. Analyze three factors that influence hidden curriculum. Provide examples of those factors. Factors may include:

Teacher philosophy
My educational philosophy is to promote academic excellence, emphasize social development, to support emotional well being, and to instill a passion for lifelong learning among all students. Learning through active intellectual inquiry is much more effective than learning through traditional, passive, lecture-and-textbook teaching methodologies. Academic curricula and specific academic information must reflect objective principles of knowledge based on empirical evidence and factually verifiable information and not subjective belief or points of view of educators or legislators. Effective learning requires a structured environment rather than through less structured environments. Effective formal education must include sufficient attention to the general development of a healthy self-image and high self-esteem of learners if they are expected to thrive from their educational experiences and to translate them into practical success in life.
Motivational techniques
o Kagan Structure
o Technology lessons
o Smartboard Activities
o Wiki Page
o Engaged Lessons

Teacher questioning techniques
Blooms high critical thinking techniques

Student learning styles
Meeting the needs of learners and creating lessons to ensure that student learning is taking place and students are able to transfer learning to everyday life.

c. Reflect on your own practices and experiences with hidden curriculum.

d. Consider what you would do differently based on your research and personal experience with hidden curriculum.

OVERALL THEME: K-12 public school music programs are in trouble. Due to No Child Left Behind, music programs are being cut due to an increased emphasis on core subjects. Also, music programs are -perhaps- less relevant today than they were in previous years and student opinions of music programs are dwindling. The picture is grim and result in a dichotomy in the dwindling support/interest in k-12 music programs and the overall positive attitudes people have towards music.

Topics to address:
1. Trends in student enrollment in public school music programs (student enrollment is down as are programs).

2. No Child Left Behind and the impact on public school music programs (the angle here is that music programs are hurting b/c of the emphasis on "core curriculum" such as English, Math, Sciences.)

3. Student opinion on public school music programs (emphasis on negative opinions) vs. students/general population's overall attitudes towards music (emphasis on positive)

Discussion: Envisioning Future Needs


Nursing curricula cannot remain static for the simple reason that the needs of nurse-learners, patients, communities, and society do not remain the same. Rather, these needs change as a result of a wide range of forces. As Dr. Sarah Keating explained in the video program, curriculum developers must be visionaries??"seeing into the future to anticipate what the needs of individuals and the larger community will be.



Select the type of educational program and community of greatest interest to you, whether an academic, staff development, or patient education program. This should be a setting in which you would like to teach one day or are already teaching. Gather the kinds of information on this program that curriculum developers would need for an assessment about future needs of that community and those learners. Pay particular attention to external contextual factors, as discussed in Chapter 5 in Keating's textbook, Curriculum Development and Evaluation in Nursing. Based on this information, how should the curriculum evolve to meet the needs of learners and other stakeholders in the near future?



Note: Your Discussion assignments for this week and next, as well as your Applications, will ideally be based on the same program and curriculum, and require you to gather a variety of information on them. By focusing on the same program for all for all of these assignments, you will gain a more integrated picture of curriculum components and processes. To help you be more efficient in your information gathering, you are strongly encouraged to read the instructions now for Week 2's Discussion and the first Application, also in Week 2.



With this information in mind:



Post your assessment of future learning needs, addressing the following:





What is the kind of program and community setting you have investigated?


In general, what global or social trends are likely to affect the development of nursing curricula in this kind of setting in the next 5 to 10 years? Explain why you think so.


Assess three of the external frame factors listed in Curriculum Development and Evaluation in Nursing that are relevant to this particular program and community, answering the questions listed in the table.


On the basis of these external factors and future trends, propose two ways that nursing curriculum in this setting should evolve to meet the needs of nurses, patients, and communities over the next 5 to 10 years.




Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this weeks Learning Resources and any additional sources. Refer to the APA Publication Manual to ensure your citations in the text and reference list are correct.

Citations of video programs must also follow APA Guidelines. The following examples show how to cite a video in the text and bibliography.

Purpose: To develop a heightened awareness of the dynamics at work in learning communities and the ways that educational structures, teaching relationships, and processes of learning give shape to personal and communal experiences.

Using an event in an ecclesial context that can be construed as educational. This could be a small group study event, a liturgy or worship service, a Sunday school class, a youth group meeting, a fellowship gathering, an administrative or planning meeting, etc.

Prepare a concise, one-paragraph description that orients your reader to the overall nature of the event (i.e. who is involved, what is the stated purpose, whether it is a regularly occurring event or a special event, etc.).

Describe and discuss two or three important educational elements of the event using categories and concepts from Boys, Eisner, Anderson, Brueggemann, and/or hooks. For example, you may want to develop a critique based on Eisner?s scheme of explicit, implicit, and null curricula. Or, you may use Anderson?s concepts of the shaping of communal memory through ritual re-enactment, of incorporating and inscribing practices that locate Christian identity in the body, and of the relationships between ritual action and knowledge. You will not be able to use all five authors in such a short paper, it is better to work with the ideas of one or two of them that seem most salient to what you have witnessed. It may be useful to concentrate on those elements in the educational event in which there is either exceptional congruence or exceptional conflict between the espoused goals of the event and the realized character of the event.
