5Preface
A learner tries to do many tasks during the journey of his/her education. Learning is an ongoing task that requires people to be lifelong learners to get the complete taste of education. Sharing the knowledge is the significant task of our caring profession. Learning and teaching are the two inseparable activities which complement each other and perpetuate an individual's life. Providing education and assuring quality are the two responsible activities that promote the excellence in teaching and learning. Statutory bodies of general and nursing education expect the educational institutions to assure quality and excellence in nursing education. Statutory bodies provide guidelines and assess nursing institutions to assure quality education to provide good-quality nursing care to the society.
Nursing Education and Quality Assurance in Nursing Colleges is packed under four sections. First section talks about the philosophies of education and nursing image. Second section deals with the essentials of curriculum, which are discussed in detail and provide the basis for curriculum planning and development. Teaching and learning process occupies the third section. This section explains the teaching and learning process. Quality assurance section runs in four chapters under the fourth section. This explains in detail about the quality assurance process in the nursing colleges that are built keeping in mind the mission, vision and objectives of the nursing schools and colleges. In addition, research works related to certain chapters are highlighted for enhancing the students’ knowledge in the field of application and integration of the current learning.
This book addresses various aspects and also the quality assurance in nursing education. It also deals with the essential elements of nursing education and covers the syllabus for the undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students. It would be useful to the undergraduate as well as the postgraduate nursing students and teachers, who are the major components of teaching, learning and the quality assurance process of nursing. Enhancing the readers’ knowledge would assure quality nursing education that further leads to assuring quality care to the society.
