 CONCEPT OF EDUCATION

DEFINITION:
Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge,
skills, values, beliefs and habits. Educational methods including discussion, teaching
training and directed research.
Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators; however,
learners may also educate themselves. Education can take place in formal or
informal settings and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one
thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.

Education brings a natural and lasting change in an individual’s reasoning and

ability to achieve the targeted goal. It facilitates us to investigate our own
considerations and thoughts and makes it ready to express it in various shapes.

Education is the main thing that encourages us to distinguish between right and
wrong because in the absence of education, we cannot do what we need or we
cannot achieve our goal.

Straightforwardly, we can say, “education is the passage to progress”. It is

additionally the way to our fate as achievements can only be accomplished when
individuals have information, aptitudes, and frame of mind. In this way, education
resembles a medium through which we can associate with various individuals and
offer our thoughts.

The Concept of Nursing, according to Virginia Henderson (1958)

Henderson is famous for a definition of nursing "The unique function of the nurse is
to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing
to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he
had the necessary strength, will or knowledge" (first published in Henderson & Nite
1978. She is known as "the first lady of nursing" and has been called, "arguably the
most famous nurse of the 20th century and "the quintessential nurse of the
twentieth century In a 1996 article in the Journal of Advanced Nursing Edward
Halloran wrote, "Virginia Henderson's written works will be viewed as the 20th
century equivalent of those of the founder of modern nursing.
Henderson's theory stresses the priority of patient self-determination so the patient
will continue doing well after being released from the hospital. Henderson
characterized the nurse's role as substitutive, which the nurse does for the patient;
supplementary, which is helping the patient; or complementary, which is engaging
with the patient to do something. The role of the nurse helps the patient become an
individual again. She arranged nursing tasks into 14 different components based on
personal needs. Not only are nurses responsible for the patient, but also to help the
patient be themselves when they leave their care. This assures that the patient has
fewer obstacles during recovery from being sick or injured, and helping getting back
into self-care is easier when a nurse is there to motivate until the patient goes home

Nursing is dynamic by its own way and this dynamism give rise to
Various trends. Sound empirical knowledge is the base of nursing as in
Any other profession. This knowledge is the base for all the innovations
Which in turn evolve as trends in nursing. The trends in nursing education
Are the corner stone for the dynamic nature of nursing profession. The
Simple meaning of trend is “movement in a particular direction”. The
Article outline various trends in nursing education with reference to
India. The trends are organized under the areas of.

The Benefits of a Concept-Based Curriculum in Nursing Education

The potential benefits of a concept-based curriculum are extensive.

 Helps students take a more active role in their learning using the “flipped
classroom” model of instruction.
 Streamlines content and eliminates content redundancies across courses.
 Helps students apply concepts from one situation to another—and make
connections between those concepts.
 Encourages students to see patterns across concepts and use those patterns to
deliver care and anticipate risks.

 Supports systematic observations about events or conditions that influence a

problem
 Encourages students to think at more elevated levels

 Causes higher levels of retention

 Students are not the only ones who benefit from making the transition to a
concept-based curriculum in nursing. Faculty can reap the benefits, as well. Faculty
benefits include:

 Reduces content overload

 Faculty becomes less concerned with "covering everything" and can provide
more in-depth guidance to students
 Enables faculty to teach clinical reasoning skills more easily
 Faculty can meet the needs of diverse learners more effectively
 Faculty can concentrate on preparing learners for professional success.

APPLICATION IN NURSING EDUCATION

Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of
individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover
optimal health and quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health
care providers by their approach to patient care, training and scope of practice.
Nurses practice in many specialties with differing levels of prescription authority.
Many nurses provide care within the ordering scope of physicians, and this
traditional role has shaped the public image of nurses as care providers. However,
nurse practitioners are permitted by most jurisdictions to practice independently in
a variety of settings. The nurse education has undergone a process of diversification
towards advanced and specialized credentials, and many of the traditional
regulations and provider roles are changing.
Nurses develop a plan of care, working collaboratively with physicians, therapists,
the patient, the patient's family and other team members, that focuses on treating
illness to improve quality of life. In the United States and the United Kingdom,
advanced practice nurses, such as clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners,
diagnose health problems and prescribe medications and other therapies,
depending on individual state regulations. Nurses may help coordinate the patient
care performed by other members of a multidisciplinary health care team such as
therapists, medical practitioners and dietitians. Nurses provide care both
interdependently, for example, with physicians, and independently as nursing
professionals.

Computer-generated information is becoming increasingly important in nursing.

Nursing schools are faced with the need to ensure that students have basic
informatics skills and rudimentary computer literacy. This article describes the
introduction of an assignment using electronic communication skills within a
teaching-learning course in a baccalaureate program. The assignment was designed
to introduce the students to several tasks that would be useful to them in their
studies as well as in their care of clients. Students learned to send electronic mail,
post to a class list, use search engines, access libraries, and critique web pages. They
developed increased confidence and skill, advancing from informed user to
proficient user status as identified by Ronald & Skiba. The students' appraisal of the
assignment in terms of value to their nursing education and their nursing careers
indicated that they recognized the value of these skills for their professional nursing
lives. Activities were monitored for content and technical glitches. Lessons learned
are highlighted, and “inbox overload” is identified. The authors found that nursing
curricula can be designed to meet the challenge of fostering computer literacy. The
assignment could be easily adapted for continuing education or other professional
education endeavors.
CONCLUSION

We have discussed about the education, & its application in nursing education. The
profession provides means through which united efforts can be made to elevate
standards of Nursing education and practice. The nurse education has undergone a
process of diversification towards advanced and specialized credentials, and many
of the traditional regulations and provider roles are changing.
