sing practice is significant. As all theorists do, she has a perspective through which she views nursing care and practice. This activity will help frame the guiding principles of University of Phoenix curriculum through the application of theory-based thinking.

Describe the five patterns of knowledge and how they can be applied in nursing practice.

Empirical knowledge (the science)

Esthetic knowledge (the art)

Personal knowing (nurse-patient relationship)

Ethical knowing (what constitutes good actions for that patient)

Emancipatory knowing (sociopolitical considerations)

Summarize the main points of Jean Watson’s theory of human caring, including the 10 carative factors.

Determine how Jean Watson views the following patterns of knowledge:

Empirical knowledge (the science)

Esthetic knowledge (the art)

Ethical knowing (what constitutes good actions for that patient)

Personal knowing (nurse-patient relationship)

Explain which pattern(s) are more evident or easier to apply in Watson’s theory of human caring, citing specific examples to support your explanation.

Theory–Practice Gap

Assignment Content

Fundamentals of Nursing Models, Theories, and Practice discusses the theory-practice gap in detail in many chapters. As you’ve read throughout the course, there is ongoing discussion about the connection between theory and practice, and the application in day-to-day nursing activities. This assignment is designed to illustrate that although there may be a gap, other factors play an important role in decision-making and each aspect of theory, research, and practice experience are integral to well-rounded patient care.

Access Fundamentals of Nursing Models, Theories, and Practice and review Figure 1.4 Correlation: education, science and practice, by clicking the Theory–Practice Gap Readings Link directly below this assignment entry.

Think of a scenario in which theory, research, and practice interact to create good patient outcomes.

Create a visual representation of the theory-practice relationship or gap by replacing the text in the Theory-Practice Gap diagram template.

Write a minimum of 525- to 700-word narrative explanation of your visual representation following the diagram.

Describe the chosen theory, research, and practice guideline or standard.

Explain the relationship between the three and discuss the role each plays in quality patient care in the scenario.

Explain any gaps, such as a lack of research, no practice standard, or no useable theory.

Determine the best course of action for making decisions in the absence of one aspect.

Include documentation of the practice guideline or standard, and your corresponding research, evidence, or literature example.

Cite your research and practice guidelines in-text and on the references page at the end of the template.

Theoretical Development And Conceptual Frameworks

Introduction

Theoretical development is the process of defining your students’ knowledge and skills through a series of questions. The goal is to help students get clear on what they know and how they’re going to use it, which will help them reach their full potential as learners. This process can be done individually, but it’s often more effective if you work with a group of students, since you’ll have multiple perspectives on each question.

What is Theoretical Development?

Theoretical development is a process of developing theory, conceptual framework and research question. These three elements are critical to the conduct of any empirical investigation.

The theoretical development stage involves:

• identifying the problem or questions that need to be addressed in your study; 2) determining its scope and content (what you want to know); 3) selecting an appropriate method for addressing those questions; 4) formulating hypotheses about how these variables will interact with one another; 5) developing a conceptual framework based on your knowledge base (e.g., social sciences), literature review/literature sources, personal experience/observations etc.; 6) designing an appropriate research design which takes into consideration all relevant factors including ethical considerations such as informed consent from participants involved in this study

How You Can Help Students With Theoretical Development

As a teacher, you can help your students develop their understanding of the theoretical framework by:

• Providing a variety of activities that help them practice, discuss, and apply what they’ve learned. For example, you could ask students to create an argumentative essay or research paper on a concept from the theoretical framework. You could also give them opportunities to share their own knowledge and ideas during class discussions on the topic at hand; this helps them see how others may see things differently than they do.

• Providing students with opportunities for reflection on their learning in order to develop an awareness of its strengths as well as areas where it might need improvement—such as an increased focus on one aspect while ignoring others altogether (this is sometimes referred to as “selective attention”). For example: if there’s a section in which we discuss all three components of “ideas-matter” (elements), but we only cover some aspects related directly toward our final goal (elements), then maybe now would be good time  to take another look at those other elements before moving forward into next week’s lesson plan

What Is a Conceptual Framework?

A conceptual framework is a way of thinking about something. It’s a way of organizing your knowledge, or at least it can be. It’s also a way of thinking about the world around us.

A conceptual framework is different from an empirical theory because it doesn’t rely on data from real life to make sense of things; instead, it uses ideas (or “concepts”) as building blocks for creating explanations and predictions of how things work in reality. The main difference between these two types of models is that empirical theories are based on observations made using instruments like telescopes or microscopes, while conceptual frameworks use internalized concepts such as “gold”, “gravity”, etc., which makes them easier to apply across different contexts without having to collect new data every time

Why Conceptual Frameworks are Important

When you’re learning something new, it can be difficult to understand the big picture. Concepts are often used as a way to give students a framework within which they can see how ideas fit together and make connections between concepts.

This is especially true when there are many different areas of study that students have been exposed to in school or on their own time. By having a clear understanding of what each concept means and how it fits into the bigger picture, students will be able to make sense out of everything they’ve learned so far.

Takeaway:

A conceptual framework is a way to structure knowledge and make sense of information. It can be used to help students understand the topic, by showing how all the parts of a subject fit together.

Conceptual frameworks are useful because they provide a structure for organizing and making sense of information about topics. They can be used in many different ways: from helping you understand what it means when someone says “I’m going shopping today”, through explaining how people use technology like smartphones or tablets at home; from explaining why we’re so interested in space travel today; all the way down to helping us understand why schools should teach certain things (like maths).

Conclusion

The Theoretical Development is a natural process that allows students to develop their own ideas, while making sure they are supported by an appropriate conceptual framework. Both of these processes help students become better thinkers and thinkers who can make sense of the world around them. It’s important for teachers to know how these two concepts work so they can help students master them as effectively as possible!
