2. CORRELATION OF THEORY &
PRACTICE IN NURSING EDUCATION
• ORGANIZATION OF LEARNING
EXPERIENCE
• IN TEACHING
• IN CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
• PLACEMENT
• INTEGRATION
• TEACHING SYSTEM
• PATTERNS OF CURRICULUM

3. Organization of Learning Experience
Course Content
• The content of Nursing Curriculum
• Foundation Content
• Nursing related Content
• Basic Sciences
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Sociology
• Anatomy & Physiology

4. • Professional Understanding
• Professional Adjustment
• Trends & Issues
• Communication
• Administration
• History of Nursing
• Nursing Sciences
• Nursing Principles
• Medical
• Paediatrics

5. Distribution of Contents
• Humanities ( 16.5 %)
• Administration
• Communication
• Psycho
• Counseling
• Trends & Issues
• Behavioural Sciences ( 16.5 %)
• Sociology
• Psychology
• Biological Sciences ( 16.5 %)
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Anatomy & Physiology
• Nursing Subjects ( 50%)

6. Placement :-
Total subject as well as practical
experience must be placed in such
a way by utilizing the educational
Psychology distributed to all four
years, is called as placement.
• Criteria for organizing Learning
Experience
4. Continuity
5. Sequence
6. Integration

7. Continuity :-
The vertical organization of Learning Experience refers to the
relationship existing between different levels of the same
subjects.
Principles of Nursing in Nursing Principles
Application of Nursing Process in Nursing Principles
Application of Nursing Process in Speciality
Application of Nursing Process in Paediatric Nursing
Application of Nursing Process in Psychiatric Nursing

8. Sequence :-
Each successive experience not only is built
upon the last one but also goes more deeply
and broadly into the subject. It emphasizes
on higher levels of understanding.
– Simple to Complex
– Easy to Tuff
– Known to Unknown
– Normal to Abnormal
Eg. Psychology – Psychiatry
Sociology - Community

9. Three levels of Sequence
• Logical Order
• Chronological Order
• Difficulty
Logical Order : It is based on concepts or principles of
primacy. (Eg.) Trends in Nsg,
Biochemistry
Chronological Order : It places events in successions in terms
of
time in which they occur. (Eg.)History of Nsg
Difficulty :-
Lessons are arranged in such a way as simple to complex

10. Integration :-
Integration is each successful experience not only is built upon
the last one goes in deep. Wholeness, Harmony & related as
very essential
Unified Meaningful Whole (Eg.)
Food Administration (Bio Chemistry)
Functions of Digestive System ( Anatomy)
Principles of Nutrition (Nutrition)
Pharma related to GI (Pharmacology)
Condition affected (GIT)

11. Organization of Learning Experience
Clinical Area :
Master Rotation Plan
Clinical Rotation Plan
• Class Room
Teaching Block Course Outline
Study Day System Unit Plan
Daily Class Lesson Plan

12. Organization : Clinical Experience
Principles :-
2. Each block of Learning Experience being used in the
rotation should be of the same rotation through ( No.of
days)
3. Each students must rotate to each block
4. No block can be missed by students
5. All students should be enter and leave the block at the time
scheduled.
6. Each block of experience can be further sub divided so that
the students can be rotated through the related experience
7. A block may consist of 2 or 3 unrelated experience which
have been fitted in to make up the length of block to
facilitate rotation.

13. Teaching System
Three common methods are used
in Teaching System.
2. Teaching Block
– Full Block
– Partial Block
3. Study Day System
4. Daily Classes

14. Partial Block System :
It is a modified Teaching Block in which the students are in
Teaching Block in the morning and go to the clinical areas in the
afternoon.
Teaching Block :-
The Teaching Block is the Block Class of total Block System in
the teaching Block. Student was withdrawn from the clinical
areas. During this time they follow a planned programme in the
school and attend the clinical area after once completing their
subject.

15. Advantages :
• The students are freed from ward responsibilities while
having a concentrated period of instruction.
• Classes can conveniently be given to the whole group
• Curriculum Planning is facilitated and the planning of co-
related teaching made easier
• Students can have uninterrupted periods of Clinical
Experience.
• Ward administration is made easier when students do not
have to leave the ward daily to attend classes.
j) Attention is drawn to the educational status of the students
although she does not necessarily spend any less time on
the wards.

16. Study Day System :
The study day system is literally a complete day spend
by the students in a week.
(Eg.) The students those who go for the clinical
experience in all days except Monday & Friday.
These days are called as study day.
(Eg.) The Midwifery students (8th Sem.) will be much
benefited in the semester. There are 5 months
(5x4 = 20 weeks). They will get 20 study days.
(20 x 8 Hrs = 160 Hrs). 160 hours classes can be
given throughout the semester to fulfill their theory
requirement.

17. Advantages :-
2. The teacher have contact with the
student all throughout the semester
3. All the students can clarify the doubt
when come for study days

18. Daily Classes :-
If neither of the above two system is used the third possibility
is holding single classes daily or several times per week.
During the first and second years frequents scheduling of
classes will be required to cover the Curriculum and
problems sometimes wise when a number of students
have to be relieved on time from different wards .
However when the schedules are planned with a view to
service needs and normal ward routine it is possible to
arrange times which are reasonably convenient to the
ward the school and the student. Daily classes will still be
necessary.
Now and then during the course even the other systems are
operating but will not be needed so frequently.

19. PATTERNS OF CURRICULUM
In different patterns of curriculum
3. Swap block
4. Progressive block
5. Concept block

20. Progressive Block
POSTINGS
Group I M.Ward M.op M.Oncol. M.Mico
Medical
1 2 3 4
Group II S.Ward S.OT S.OP S.ICU P.Op
Surgical
5 6 7 8 9
Group III P.OP Com.Psy Derm OG
Psy- E.ENT
Specia.
10 11 13 14
12

21. Progressive Block :
In this pattern of Curriculum students are
divided into 3 major groups and they are
rotated into different areas of learning
experience.
(eg.) V semester students :
I group will be in Medical Area
II group will be in Surgical Area
III group will be in Psychiatry & Speciality
I group after finishing their postings will get
exchange with II group and then with III
group,
With in a particular level all the students will
expose to all the areas

22. Swap Block
Group I 1 2 3 4
Group II 5 6 7 8

23. Swap Block :
This pattern of curriculum is most in VI semester
students. They are divided into
I – Paediatrics
II – Community
In the Paediatric area they will be further divided into
smaller groups to complete Paed.Med, Paed.Sur,
NICU,Communicable Ward and so on. In
Community Survey,Immunization Camps, Family
visits, School health, PHC Visits etc.,
They get inter exchange after completing the specific
needed hours, in each small blocks.
Concept Clock :
This pattern of curriculum is used in PG(M.Sc) nursing
students. They are being posted in different wards
so as to fulfill deepest understanding of the concept
rather than specific condition.

24. Usually useful in
posting the post
graduate nursing
students.
