看護職者の学習要求を形成した体験と意識の調査研究―編入学教育に生かす学習者特性の課題

Investigation in Nurses' Experience and Consciousness as The Formative Factor of The Learning Needs: Educational Issues Dealing in The Learner's Characteristic of The Nurses

要旨

　本研究の目的は，編入学教育の構想に資するための，看護職者の学習要求を形成している体験や意識の明確化である．

　調査対象は編入学資格を有し，それを志望している看護職者22名であり，調査方法は半構成的面接法である．調査内容は編入学を志向するに至った経緯，印象的だった看護体験や生活体験などとし，その中から，編入学志向の根底にあると解釈される意識と自己意識との関連性を分析点とした．

　対象者は3群に分類された．それらは，日常の看護実践に関する課題意識が特徴である「外在」群，他者との関係や相互理解に関心の強い「間主観」群，自己陶冶や省察の要求が特徴的な「内在」群である．また，編入学教育者が追認すべき要素として，学習要求を形成する意識や中の“社会”と“自己”の比重とその変動，看護実践能力の不足感が形成する能力観や自己能力評価などが確認できた．

Abstract

　The purpose of this study is to investigate nurses' experience and/or consciousness that have formed their learning needs and their desire to enter the baccalaureate course of nursing, in order to investigate the adequacy of RN/BSN course. 22 nurses who have graduated from junior colleges and have desire to learn more under a RN/BSN program are interviewed.

　The analytical focus is placed on the relationship between two kinds of consciousness; fundamental consciousness/experience of the learning needs, and self-consciousness. The findings are as follows:

1) All subjects are classified into 3 types according to the categories of consciousness in which they fall, mainly due to the difference of their aims and/or their learning needs.

2) The first group, “external”, includes 13 subjects who show intense concern over their daily nursing practice.

3) The second group, “intersubjective”, includes 5 keen observers of contrasts between patients and themselves.

4) The last group, “internal”, includes 4 subjects who feel stronger needs for self-improvement than for professional training.

5) As an educational issue, it is the perspective of the nurse-as-learner that teachers in charge of RN/BSN course have to understand.

　Two conclusions emerge out of these findings. 1. Teachers are recommended to sympathise with the nurses' balance of social and individual consciousness, which has formed through nursing experience and/or daily life. 2.RN/BSN course ought to include some programs to correct nurses' tendency that set the valuation at rather lower level, around their own nursing capability.
