  • Title: Reflecting, refueling, and reframing: a 10-year retrospective model for faculty development and its implications for nursing scholarship.
    Author: Alteen AM, Didham P, Stratton C.
    Journal: J Contin Educ Nurs; 2009 Jun; 40(6):267-72. PubMed ID: 19639916.
    Abstract:
    In this article, the authors retrace their journey during the past 10 years as faculty members engaged in the implementation of a new bachelor of nursing (collaborative) program. They outline the major personal challenges related to increasing credentials and portfolio development for teachers within a university environment. The authors extrapolate from the relevant literature on teaching and scholarship, and thereby analyze the methodologies that enhanced the faculty development process for them during this time. Specifically, they discuss the methods that facilitated meaningful reflection on their new roles and responsibilities; nurtured their professional growth and afforded opportunities for refueling and reenergizing along the way; and provided a vision for reframing their practice as nurse educators in light of previous experiences. With reference to Boyer's model of scholarship, the authors also explore possible implications for further analysis of the faculty development process within the broader context of nursing scholarship.
