This course introduces students to philosophical paradigms that ground and guide curriculum thinking and pedagogical practice. A major focus of the course is to offer students opportunities for critical analysis of curriculum work, including evaluation, and to transform visions for nursing education. Throughout the course, epistemological and ontological questions raised through technical, practical/interpretive, and critical perspectives are pursued during guided readings and classroom conversation. Students will envision and plan thoughtful curriculum work grounded in caring for enactment in their teaching practica settings. Open only for students enrolled in the Post Master's Nurse Educator Certificate program. Prerequisites: NUR-502, NUR-512. [ 3 credits ]
