RESEARCH IN NURSING EDUCATION AND EVALUATION

Two areas of research involving both nursing education and nursing practice are the education of nurses in hospital settings, and the effects of shift work on nurses. These two phenomena are at times related.

An educational needs assessment for hospital nursing staff must be based on patient populations (Panno, 1992, pp. 269-273). Analysis of needs assessment data is required to formulate effective teaching strategies for nursing education in hospital settings. One suggested approach to cost-effective nursing instruction in hospital settings is the use of self-learning educational packages (Cochenour, 1992, pp. 123-127). The use of self-learning educational packages for nursing staff in hospital settings is most effective when modern instructional technology is employed in conjunction with such packages (Romano, 1990, pp. 99-103). In the 1990s, such technology most often means computers (Ford, 1990, pp. 160-163). One such teaching innovation is computer assisted instruction, referred to as CAI (Corvello, 1985, p. 959).

Definitions of instructional technology typically vary according to the way in which the factor is conceptualized by those individuals constructing the definitions (Saettler, 1992, p. 2). There are two widely accepted conceptualizations of instructional technology--the physical science concept and the behavioral science concept (Saettler, 1992, p. 3).

When instructional technology is considered within the context of physical science, it is typically viewed as the application of physical science and engineering technology to the process of education (Saettler, 1992, p. 4). This concept emphasizes device effects and procedures, as opposed to instructional content and learner differences (Saettler, 1992, p. 4). The development of the physical science concept of instructional technology was not greatly influenced by the interre...
