EXPERT EVALUATION OF SCENARIOS FOR INCLUSION OF EDUCATION ECOLOGY INTO NURSING STUDIES
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2009, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Already back in the middle of the 19th century, nurse Florence Nightingale pointed out the importance of interaction between human beings and their environment. With the further advance of nursing theories and models, the 20th century nursing theoreticians highlighted man, environment, health and care as the key concepts in nursing. One of the most important achievements in further development of nursing theories is the health system model of Betty Neuman based on systemic approach which analyses interaction between the patient, medical staff and environment. The UN Resolution on UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005–2014) passed by the General Assembly in 2002 is of great importance in strategic development of education. Over the last thirty years, there has been a lot of research done on ecology of human development, education ecology and change in education in the context of sustainability. The authors of the present article have done extended research including reflection on their personal experience in professional education (L. Peks), practical nursing experience (R.Renigere) and teaching experience in different nursing study programmes. The authors have concluded that there is a contradiction between the nursing study programmes and current developments in nursing theories and models, especially taking into account the latest achievements in the development of education ecology. It is vitally important to include education ecology into nursing studies. A body of experts has assessed scenarios of education ecology inclusion.
