The purpose of the study was to develop an interpretive understanding of the enactment of acculturation to research utilization by students and educators in one undergraduate nursing program. Professional acculturation is the process by which the values, attitudes, and norms of a professional culture are internalized. As an integral element of safe, effective, and competent nursing care, research utilization has been identified as an important element of professional nursing. Focused ethnography was used as a methodology to explore the social construction of norms, understandings, relationships, and experiences that comprise acculturation to research utilization curriculum-in-action. The acculturation of research utilization transpired unintentionally within the nursing program in the presence of both articulated and unarticulated curricular values, norms, and goals. Two main sub-themes were identified: the use and role of unintentional curricular language and the variable enactment of values, norms, and goals. An intentional approach to acculturation to research utilization within the curriculum-in-action is essential to socially construct the professional practice of nursing through formalized professional education. Nursing programs need to understand how to successfully acculturate students to valued practice competencies such as research utilization because these competencies constitute the essence of professional nursing.

“…Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of courses and curricula is now recognized as an integral part of the educational process (Harden & Crosby 2000;Berk 2006). Curriculum evaluation has been defined as 'a deliberate act of enquiry which sets out with an intention of allowing people concerned with an educational event to make rigorous, informed judgements and decisions about it, so that appropriate development may be facilitated' (Coles & Grant 1985), and students should by no means be omitted from being evaluators; they also should play this role with the same responsibility as when evaluating their teachers*.…”

The good student is more than a listener – The 12+1 roles of the medical student

et al. 2012

Background: The process of medical education, particularly in the fast evolving new era of medical metaschools, is a broad and complex issue. Harden & Crosby claimed that a good teacher is more than a lecturer, and identified 12 roles that certify a good and capable teacher. However, this is only half the truth: the good student is more than a listener. Teaching-and-learning is not simply a one-way process, and, as medical students are not children, the relationship between teacher and students involves andragogy rather than pedagogy. We therefore propose the 12þ1 roles of the student. Summary of work: The Harden & Crosby paper was distributed in a class of 90 third year Ioannina University medical students, who were asked to think about the student's roles. A small discussion group brainstormed ideas, which were then refined further by the authors. Summary of results: 12þ1 roles of the good medical student were produced and grouped into six areas: information receiver, in lectures and clinical context; role model in learning, in class, with the added subarea of comparative choice of role models; teaching facilitator and teacher's mentor; teacher's assessor and curriculum evaluator; active participator and keeping-up with curriculum; resource consumer/co-creator and medical literature researcher. The ideal student should fulfil the majority if not all of these complementary roles. Take-home message: These 12þ1 student's roles are complementary to the 12 roles of the teacher and help reshaping our understanding of today's medical education process.

The assessment of teaching and of the curriculum can be conducted at an institutional level with the teacher who is the stakeholders in the process.…”

The present paper attempts to explore the characteristics of an effective teacher of English. Some related factors such as qualification, attributes, roles, and professional ethics have also been dealt with. In Saudi Arabia, the teacher of English plays the most important role in the process of teaching/learning. There are so many factors such as L1 interference, parental attitude, home environment, schooling etc that are usually influential in the case of educational setting in general and English classes in particular. It is believed that if the teacher of English has undergone a pre-service teacher training it is better for the learners of Saudi Arabia. In the other case, those who have not attended pre-service teacher training, they should go for in-service professional development programs in order to equip them further for innovative teaching and educational output.
