The creation of knowledge assets for nursing instruction based on knowledge management concept in Nursing Colleges under Praboromarajchanok Institute, the Ministry of Public Health
Abstract:
This research aims to examine the nursing instruction knowledge and to pursue the creation of knowledge assets for nursing instruction based on the knowledge asset creation model and knowledge management concept in Nursing Colleges under Praboromarajchanok Institute, Ministry of Public Health. The data are collected from the sample group consisting of (1) head of the School of Nursing and nursing instructors responsible for the gerontological nursing instruction in total of 61 persons; (2) 8 senior specialists on knowledge asset model creation; (3) 5 specialists for the collection of data on knowledge asset creation model; and (4) 8 senior experts with the experience and expertise in the gerontological nursing instruction. The questionnaire, interview form, observation form and focus group discussion assessment form are employed in data collection, while the data analysis is conducted by means of content analysis. Besides, the statistical methods include the frequency, percentage, means, and standard deviation. The research results are as follows: 1. The knowledge management is available in the nursing college and covers all missions, namely, academic affairs, research works, academic services for the society, student development activities and administration. 2. The creation of knowledge assets for nursing instruction model consists of 1) the collection of individual tacit and explicit knowledge 2) the level of knowledge including know-what, know-how, know-why and care-why 3) the defining of knowledge, namely, the knowledge you know you have, the knowledge you know you don't have, knowledge you don't know you have and the knowledge you don't know you don't have. 3. The knowledge assets for the gerontological nursing instruction are: 1) the knowledge assets on the principles, concepts, theories and learner-focus instruction this is due to the fact that the instructors employ various instructional methods such as 1) case study, 2) authentic instruction, 3) concept mapping, 4) problem-based learning, 5) critical thinking, 6) evidence-based practice, 7) simulation, 8) self-directed learning, 9) role play, 10) inquiring learning, 11) learning via media, and 12) mixed methods as well as have their own tactics, tricks or techniques to maximize the efficiency of gerontological nursing instruction including 1) selection of case study according to learners background knowledge and experiences, especially in light of clinical instruction, the nursing-diagnosis situations are chosen rather than the doctor diagnosis, 2) organization of case bank, 3) provision of familiar experiences for learners, 4) instructors exploration of real situations they embed and collaborate with the training sites, 5) introduction of concept mapping to enable the learners to generate their concepts, 6) use of current situations as the main issue in the instruction, 7) building of critical thinking skills to promote the reasoning, 8) raising questions to promote learners knowledge inquiry, 9) use of research methodologies in the instruction, 10) showing the movies of which contents concern the subject to promote learners analytical skills, 11) provision of opportunities in which learners elaborate the stimulation and engage in it on their own, 12) encouraging learners to study and do research based on the textbooks, guide websites, previous research papers and database, 13) promotion of incident analysis among learners with the emphasis on that particular situation the learners engage in self-directed learning and attempt to find out final conclusions; they are also encouraged to select the simple but profound books, 14) engagement in role play e.g. arranging a radio program or building a new learning source, 15) organization of the question sessions with a small pressure the answers for some questions may not be found by merely opening the books, 16) network capability, 17) integration of several instructional methods such as team-based learning + cooperative learning + project-based learning and 18) presentation of academic articles based on the analysis to rebut the counter argument; 2) the knowledge assets of the right knowledge, 3) the knowledge assets of the right time, 4) the knowledge assets of the right place, 5) the knowledge assets of the knowledge you know you have, 6) the knowledge assets of the knowledge you know you dont have, 7) the knowledge assets of the knowledge you dont know you have, 8) the knowledge assets of the knowledge you don't know you don't have.
