“…Unlike machine design with a behavioral approach, quantum learning environments are based on living systems. It is the natural, dynamic and interconnected networks of relationships that are continuously learning and adapting, and evolving (Janzen, 2012). From the perspective of the principle of quantum entanglement that always changes everywhere and at any time, learning Offers a lifetime.…”

Background and purpose: The beginning of the 21st century refers to an era that can be called the quantum era from the point of view of technology. Quantum theories have the ability to be useful in explaining complex human behaviors, including teaching and learning, and scientists use this theory in investigating phenomena such as mind, thinking, and subconscious mind. Quantum theory in Iran is especially important in the subject curriculum. It is unknown and it is necessary to explain the relevant concepts and with the help of its capabilities, the shortcomings of the existing curriculum will be resolved and lead to a conscious life in the third millennium. Therefore, with the aim of explaining the quantum concepts and determining the relevant components, this research has pursued this question: What components does the quantum curriculum include? Research method: This research is qualitative in terms of fundamental purpose and data. For this purpose, conceptual structure evaluation and theoretical research were used. The statistical community of research in the qualitative part includes national and international documents and related researches and digital resources in the field of quantum physics and curriculum. Findings: Application of this theory, transdisciplinary approach, contextual, collaborative and negotiation knowledge instead of hierarchical knowledge, readiness to face unexpected developments and situations, lifelong learning, lack of focus in curricula and dealing with all complex human dimensions and It presents his extensive interactions with the universe and the implementation of multicultural curricula. In order to succeed in the implementation of curricula, attention should be paid to the learner's environment and his mental and physical conditions and the injection of mental energy. In the evaluation of curricula, attention should be paid to the variety of tools and resources and it should be done qualitatively, continuously and in different situations. Conclusion: Quantum curriculum with a holistic view of right and left hemisphere interactive learning, by establishing a simple and dynamic model, returns the pleasure of teaching to professors and elevates students to the level of insatiable and knowledgeable learners.

“…While it is known that APTs are effective, it is less clear why and how they are effective especially in the triad of stimulating interaction, creating social presence, and helping develop community in the online postsecondary classroom. Why APTs are effective has been, and continues to be, theoretically explored and refined through writings and research related to The Quantum Perspective of Learning (Janzen, 2013;Janzen, Perry & Edwards, 2011a;2012a;2012b;2012c).…”

Using the analogy of children's building blocks, the reader is guided through the results of a research study that explored the use of three Artistic Pedagogical Technologies (APTs). 'Building blocks' was the major theme that emerged from the data. Sub-themes included developing community, enhancing creativity, and risk taking. The discourse of the paper centers on how selected APTs stimulate interaction, create social presence, and help develop community in the online post-secondary classroom. Additional findings are discussed and implications are presented.

“…The purpose of this paper is to explore the tensions that exist in students (and ourselves) as we live into (and through) the in-between space of being (and yet not being), fatigue (and yet energy), and transformation (and yet potential stagnation), within the phase of becoming a leader and a Registered Nurse (RN). The Quantum Perspective of Learning or QL (Janzen, 2013;Janzen, Perry & Edwards, 2011, 2012a, 2012b provided a theoretical foundation to connect with some of the core course concepts of authenticity, self-expression, critical thought, and reflective practice. Poetry, influenced by online class discussion, written by the authors, is included to not only support our thinking and reflection, but to also resonate with the reader as he or she ponders upon the reflections offered.…”

“…The Quantum Perspective of Learning (QL) (Janzen, 2013;Janzen, Perry & Edwards, 2011;2012a;2012b) provokes learning by taking the most salient parts of existing learning theory and circumscribing them into a theory. Instead of learning being flat, onedimensional and with concrete starting and ending points, QL is envisioned as being infinite in nature.…”

“…QL utilizes creative arts-based strategies first pioneered by Perry (2006) and further studied in online and blended learning environments (Edwards, Perry, Janzen & Menzies, 2012;Janzen, Perry & Edwards, 2012a;2012b;Janzen, 2013;Perry & Edwards, 2010a;2010b;Perry, Edwards & Janzen, 2014). Our reflections on QL within nursing leadership courses necessarily emerge from three distinct voices, our varied experiences of bridging lived curriculum (Aoki, 1993(Aoki, /2005, and the multiple and diverse influences that have shaped our teaching practices.…”

Taking the Quantum Leap: Arts-Based Learning as a Gateway into Exploring Transition for Senior Nursing Students

In a senior-baccalaureate nursing program, a student’s journey of transition to becoming a Registered Nurse is fraught with institutional and relational tensions. In a fourth-year capstone theory course focused on issues and trends in nursing leadership, we explored these tensions through arts-based learning activities. Through the theoretical lens of Janzen’s (2013) Quantum Perspective of Learning, reflective narratives illuminated student experiences of the transition and into the unknown. Our goal to inspire, to nurture, and to empower students to take their own quantum leaps took them into finite career spaces and the infinite spaces in-between and beyond.
