Title of Your Paper in Upper and Lower Case (Centered, Bold)

Type your introduction here. Although the first paragraph after the paper title is the introduction, no heading labeled “Introduction” is used. Begin with a short introduction which includes describing the importance and key elements your paper will cover (framework, concepts, interrelationship of concepts and program outcomes). This is a great place to utilize a scholarly resource or two, to emphasize why the topic is important. The introduction does not require a heading. (From the rubric: The concepts for the framework are clearly identified in the introduction including, but not limited to, the metaparadigm of nursing concepts. Nursing Education Paper)

Framework Concepts

Begin to type the body of your paper here. Write a few sentences to describe what your concepts are and what will follow (defining the concepts and how they are interrelated).

Person

Define the concept here. Start with a sentence which clearly states how you define “Person” in your Framework and then you can add additional supporting information.

Nursing

Define the concept here. Define the concept here. Start with a sentence which clearly states how you define “Nursing” in your Framework and then you can add additional supporting information.

Health

Define the concept here. Define the concept here. Start with a sentence which clearly states how you define “Health” in your Framework and then you can add additional supporting information.

Environment

Additional Concept if you identified one

Define the concept here. Define the concept here. Start with a sentence which clearly states how you define “Additional Concept” in your Framework and then you can add additional supporting information.

Relationship between the Concepts

The relationship between the concepts is clearly articulated.

This section should be a minimum of 2-3 paragraphs discussing how your concpets are related.

Program Outcomes

Brief introduction to what are program outcomes. (From the rubric: Program outcomes are clearly based on either the AACN Essentials of Baccalaureate Education OR the NLN Competencies for graduates of Associate Degree Programs OR the 2018 The Joint Commission Hospital National Patient Safety Goals.) At the end of each outcome place the specific guideline(s) the outcome aligns with. Reference which guidelines your outcomes are based on.

At the completion of XXX program the learner will:

1. Write your progam outcome here (Specific guideline aligned with goes here)
2. Write your progam outcome here (Specific guideline aligned with goes here)
3. Write your progam outcome here (Specific guideline aligned with goes here)
4. Write your progam outcome here (Specific guideline aligned with goes here)

 

 

Peer Collaboration

(From the rubric: Influence of peer collaboration on final framework concepts and program outcomes is clearly identified in the paper. Nursing Education Paper)

Conclusion

Papers should end with a conclusion or summary. It should be concise and contain no new information. No matter how much space remains on the page, the references always start on a separate page (insert a page break after the conclusion so that the references will start on a new page).

Organizing Framework and Program Outcomes Guidelines

Introduction

The organizing framework and program outcomes are key components of any course. They help instructors organize a course, provide clarity about what students should know at the end of it, and outline how individual outcomes support or align with broader curriculum goals.

Program outcomes describe what students will be able to do at the successful completion of the course.

Program outcomes are broad statements that describe what students will be able to do at the successful completion of the course. In contrast, organizing frameworks are program-centered and focus on how students should work together as a team. An example organizing framework for an introductory computer science course might include:

• Student groups will collaborate with each other to solve programming problems under time pressure;

• The group’s performance will be assessed through a rubric that evaluates their ability to communicate effectively and meet deadlines;

• Students will learn how to apply their knowledge of basic programming principles such as variables, operators and loops in problem solving scenarios.

Examples of program outcomes for an introductory computer science course include:

• Describe the course content. This should include an overview of the concepts that will be covered in each unit, as well as a description of how these concepts relate to one another. It’s helpful to also include some examples and illustrations to demonstrate what you mean when you say “concept.”

• Describe the course goals. What are your students’ goals for this course? Do they want to learn how computers work, or do they want to become more effective programmers or system administrators? How can these two sets of skills be integrated into one another so that both sets are achieved by the end of your class period (or semester)?

• Describe program outcomes for introductory computer science courses: These outcomes indicate what students should have learned at certain points during their studies (e.g., “how does this knowledge apply?”). In addition, it is important for instructors not only know what these outcomes look like but also why certain specific outcomes exist within their curriculum instead of others—for example: Is there one main goal that ties together all other objectives? Or are there several smaller individual objectives with similar subgoals but differing degrees of importance?

Example program outcomes for an advanced data structures course include:

• The student will be able to implement a data structure that supports the following operations:

• Insert, retrieve and delete

• Search, sort and update.

The organizing framework demonstrates how individual outcomes support or align with a broader curriculum goal.

An organizing framework is a program-centered approach. It describes how outcomes support or align with a broader curriculum goal, rather than individual course goals. Organizing frameworks can be used to align multiple courses within a program, as well as across programs within an institution.

Organizational structure also plays an important role in determining how this alignment occurs. For example, if you want your students to understand the implications of decisions made by policymakers, then it makes sense for them to learn about these issues through courses such as International Relations 101: American Foreign Policy and History 101: US History since 1945 (two examples).

Program outcomes are student-centered, while organizing frameworks are program-centered.

Organizing frameworks are broad statements of the purpose of a program. They describe the outcomes that students are expected to achieve and how they will do so. Program outcomes, on the other hand, describe what students will learn in each course—for example: “The student will be able to identify theories about teaching.” Program outcomes can also be more specific than organizing framework statements (e.g., “The student will be able to identify theories about teaching by identifying three different types of learning styles”). However, organizing frameworks should never include anything that is not directly related to learning or instruction; otherwise you risk confusing your audience about what your program does well or does poorly!

Conclusion

While program outcomes are student-centered, organizing frameworks are program-centered. It’s important that we keep these two concepts distinct, because they are not interchangeable. If you’re looking to use an organizing framework as a way of sharing your curriculum goals with students and faculty, then it’s relevant to know what the outcomes will be in order for them to feel like they’ve accomplished something meaningful within your course. On the other hand, if you’re looking for ways of measuring learning or achievement within a given course (or across multiple courses), then program outcomes will be more useful for this purpose than any other approach that might be considered by instructors—such as rubrics!
