Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this study was to describe how learning can be facilitated amongst pre-registered nursing students in the English degree program at Laurea University of Applied Sciences by planning, implementing and evaluating classroom learning sessions. This study was a part of the project Facilitating Learning of Pharmacology and Medication in the Degree Program in Nursing, whose aim was to develop curriculum implementation of pharmacology and medication studies in the nursing degree program.
This project was an action based project and implemented in line with the curriculum placed by Laurea University of Applied sciences under the study unit MEDICAL ASSESSMENT AND THERAPEUTIC METHODS. The participants included the SNG10SN nursing students in the English degree program at Laurea University of Applied Sciences.
The study method was qualitative and data was collected using evaluative feedback forms filled out on two separate occasions by the students at the end of the implementation period. The findings revealed that learning can be facilitated when students have a competent and able facilitator providing information; when they are a part of a supportive learning environment; when the content and timing of the lectures are consistent and when the learning materials provided by the facilitator are consistent.
The findings reveal that there is a need for a review of the curriculum in the English nursing degree program at Laurea and a need of developing a curriculum that would enhance and stimulate learning in medication and fundamentals of pharmacology.
