Curriculum Theory, Frameworks, and Models
In the first discussion in Unit 2, you selected a specific nursing curriculum either in an academic setting, such as a school of nursing, or a clinical setting, such as a hospital staff development program. The first project assignment focused on this curriculum; you will work with this same curriculum in this assignment.
For this assignment, write a paper in which you identify an organizing curriculum design and theoretical framework on which your selected curriculum is based. Possible organizing designs or frameworks include simple-to-complex, stages of illness, nursing conceptual framework, concept-based, outcomes-based, competency-based, interdisciplinary, and others.
Your paper for this assignment should include the following:
A description of the selected curriculum and the organization or department where it is used.
The organizing design and theoretical framework on which you feel your selected curriculum is based.
A history of that organizing design and theoretical framework.
A description of the major concepts of the organizing design and theoretical framework.
An explanation of how the organizing design and theoretical framework are demonstrated in the curriculum.
