“…Content analysis of the open-ended survey questions was then undertaken to evaluate student comments and identify common patterns amongst the written responses (Moretti et al, 2011;Chambers and Chiang, 2012). Content analysis involves coding written words into categories and patterns to study responses from openended questions (Moretti et al, 2011;Chambers and Chiang, 2012). It has been used by numerous researchers as a method of deducing meaning from written comments (Eriksson et al, 2006;Morasso et al, 2008;Moretti et al, 2011;Chambers and Chiang, 2012).…”

“…One exception is the USA's National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) (NSSE 2012) and the Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE) (BCSSE 2013), which measures engagement in first-year US college students (Chambers & Chiang 2011;Kuh 2009;McCormick & McClenney 2012). However, the NSSE has been strongly criticized.…”

Student engagement is a key factor in academic achievement and degree completion, though there is much debate about the operationalization and dimensionality of this construct. The goal of this paper is to describe the development of an psycho-educational oriented measure -the University Student Engagement Inventory (USEI). This measure draws on the conceptualization of engagement as a multidimensional construct, including cognitive, behavioural and emotional engagement. Participants were 609 Portuguese University students (67 % female) majoring in Social Sciences, Biological Sciences or Engineering and Exact Sciences. The content, construct and predictive validity, and reliability of the USEI were tested. The validated USEI was composed of 15 items, and supported the tri-factorial structure of student engagement. We documented evidence of adequate reliability, factorial, convergent and discriminant validities. USEI's concurrent validity, with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student Survey, and the predictive validity for self-reported academic achievement and intention to dropout from school were also observed.

“…In qualitative research, content analysis usually involves a process of labelling, organising and interpreting data into a set of codes, concepts, themes or categories [17]. An inductive approach of content analysis informed by Chambers and Chiang [18] was executed to analyse data. Curriculum outlines were collected and organised into a text.…”

“…The sub-categories were further grouped under higher order 'categories.' In addition, frequencies of codes representing each category were also determined by identifying phrases and words appearing most frequently [18]. Trustworthiness of findings was achieved in two ways.…”

Abstract-Evidence-based practice (EBP) remains a relatively new concept to nursing, creating many challenges in relation to curriculum evaluation. Most of the available literature on EBP focuses to a great extent on clinical practice. There is limited literature available addressing the incorporation of EBP into nursing curricula, particularly at the undergraduate level. Existing literature highlights discrepancies in how EBP is implemented into nursing curricula, and reveals ambiguity in defining the concepts of EBP, appropriate place in the course in which to initiate EBP skills training, and in merging EBP with the research process. In the Australian context and internationally, EBP is variably addressed within undergraduate nursing education.Aim: This paper reports findings of an analysis of curriculum outlines from tertiary education providers exploring how EBP is incorporated into Bachelor of Nursing (BN) programs in Australia.Method: Curriculum outlines of BN programs were extracted through public websites. Each subject or unit of study was analysed in relation to units offered which addressed research and EBP, either in isolation or combined. Content analysis informed by Chambers and Chiang (2012) was performed to analyse the data. Results:In Australia, 32 universities and three colleges offer BN programs. Results revealed that of these, three did not appear to offer specific units related to research or EBP. Twenty five combined units on research and EBP with major emphasis on research concepts and methodologies. In addition, 30 education providers integrated EBP related objectives throughout their curricula ranging between one to twelve units of study. Variations among institutions were found in terms of years and semesters in which research and EBP units were introduced. Implications:It is paramount that EBP is considered an integral part of curricula and be embedded in all units of study.
