Close encounters: the use of critical reflective analysis as an evaluation tool in teaching and learning.

Teaching and learning are complex activities which, when combined with professional practice-based activity, take on additional dimension and depth. This makes the use of traditional, product-based evaluation problematic in that a purely empirical approach does not facilitate thorough evaluation of every facet of such an encounter. This paper describes the use of critical reflective analysis as an alternative method of evaluation. The reflective framework facilitating this process has been adapted from three key sources: patterns of nursing knowledge; evaluative paradigms based upon knowledge - constitutive interests; descriptors for a reflective practicum. The reflective activity is structured around a teaching and learning encounter in a care-based setting and focuses on 'doing the drug round'. Descriptive vignettes are used to facilitate reflection-on-action and, through critical reflective analysis, the author identifies the essential value (e-value-ation) of the encounter in terms of credibility, utility and worth.

Changing roles in nursing. Perceptions of nurse administrators.

Nursing roles and administrative responsibilities have changed over the past 10 years. Although nurses' choices in graduate educational programs have been documented by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and the National League for Nursing, little empirical data exist related to specific role changes. The purpose of this study was to describe current responsibilities of nurse administrators and their perceptions regarding role changes in their organizations. This study also identified educational recommendations of nurse administrators for nurses pursuing graduate degrees with implications and recommendations for nurse leaders.
