30-540 Educational Theory and the Scholarship of Teaching

This course introduces the student to the field of educational theory in a nursing and health education environment. The scholarship of teaching model will provide a framework for exploring theories of learning, motivation, instruction and teaching. Selected theoretical perspectives will be explored to facilitate development of a philosophy of nursing education to serve as a base for the emerging expertise of the future nursing educator.  Evaluation of theory and scholarship of education will be evidenced by a classroom observation of an experienced professor, as well as development of a personal portfolio.
