Literature Review
“Nurse educators who practice in academic settings also must have knowledge and skill in curriculum development, assessment of program outcomes, and being an effective member of an academic community, among other things. (NLN, 2002, para. 11)
“The appropriate educational preparation for a nurse educator has been debated for many years” (SREB, 2002, p. 2)
“The nurse educator competencies are important because the ability — or lack of ability — can affect the accomplishments of the faculty and students
(Krisman-Scott, 1998, p. 318).
Definitions
Competence is “the application of knowledge and interpersonal
decision making, and psychomotor skills in the performance of a task or implementation of a role” (NLN, 2007, para. 30).
In curriculum design, the concept of competence defines the tasks
of developing curricula.
Competency is “a principle of professional practice that identifies the expectations required for the safe and
effective performance of a task or implementation of a role” (NLN,
2007, para. 31). In curriculum design, the concept
of competency describes the practice and expectations of
developing effective curricula.
