Abstract

The article outlines a case study of formative evaluation of a new Master's Degree Programme in Nursing Education. The programme based on a model of problem and community learning is offered at a major South African university. While the findings of the external evaluators are presented, the meta- (second order) evaluation is discussed, providing some current limitations in the evaluation of problem and community-based degree programmes. Guidelines to overcome these limitations are suggested.

The experience of international doctoral education in nursing: an exploratory survey of staff and international nursing students in a British university.

As part of the internationalization of higher education, increasing numbers of international doctoral students are coming to study in British nursing schools. This paper reports on a small-scale exploratory survey that sought to investigate the educational experiences of these students and their supervisors in one British School of Nursing. Both staff and students saw great value in international education. However both groups identified the need for greater support to facilitate adjustment in a number of areas, including: understanding the PhD process, studying in a second language, working within a different academic culture, managing the supervision relationship, and finding a sense of community. This was a small study, but the findings confirm key issues identified in the limited available literature. Recommendations include staff training and the development of additional in-puts for students. Future research should include qualitative, longitudinal and multi-site studies to more thoroughly assess the process and outcomes of international doctoral education in nursing.
