ABSTRACT Evaluation is becoming a necessary part of nursing education. Many educationalists view evaluation as a mean of justifying their actions, a way of initiating self-assessment and developing personal evaluation techniques which are prerequisites for increasing self-confidence and personal growth on the part of faculty. Educators rely on evaluation in order to measure the quality of their teaching and to identify areas where improvement is needed in nursing education. In addition, evaluation of educational programs provides data on positive and negative aspects of these programs and supports learning experiences that have positive effects on students’ growth and development [1]. Aims of curriculum evaluation may include program validation, curriculum improvement, meeting objectives, evaluation of innovation, and understanding the curriculum in whole or in part. Nursing education in Jordan has been developed over a relatively short period of time. Recently, the status of nursing is improving in Jordan as the number of students graduating from nursing programs is increasing. In addition, there is an emphasis on adopting new and more advanced roles for nurses in the future which require nurses to be well educated and trained [2]. This signifies a need for evaluation of quality of teaching in nursing education [3]. Moreover, some researchers found discrepancies in nursing textbooks and recommended that these textbooks need to be more consistent with more simplification of the ambiguous terms [4]. Therefore, the current study aims to determine students’ perspectives related to content in nursing courses and teaching methodology. In addition, some suggestions for improvement of nursing curricula were obtained from the students. Teaching methodology and students’ characteristics were reported to be important determinants of success in nursing curricula [5]. In addition, curriculum design and instructor characteristics play an important role in forming students’ attitudes towards nursing [6]. Moreover, the use of technology such as online materials and Web-enhanced learning opportunities incorporating online activities and content such as quizzes, videos, and virtual laboratories are reported to be highly effective from students’ viewpoints TABLE OF CONTENT Title page – – – – – – – – – – i Certification – – – – – – – – – ii Dedication – – – – – – – – – iii Acknowledgement – – – – – – – – iv Abstract – – – – – – – – – – v Table of Content – – – – – – – – – vi CHAPTER ONE 1.1 Background of Study – – – – – – – 1 1.2 Statement of Problem – – – – – – – 3 1.3 Objective of the Study – – – – – – – 5 1.4 Significance of the Study – – – – – – 5 1.5 Research Questions – – – – – – – 6 1.6 Scope of the Study – – – – – – – 6 1.7 Limitation of the Study – – – – – – 7 1.8 Operational Definition of Terms – – – – – 7 CHAPTER TWO REVIEW OF LITERATURE 2.0 Introduction – – – – – – – – 8 2.1 Conceptual Framework – – – – – – 9 2.1.1 Background of the Study – – – – – – 9 2.2 Theoretical Framework – – – – – – 27 2.3 Conclusion – – – – – – – – – 28 CHAPTER THREE METHODOLOGY 3.0 Introduction – – – – – – – – 29 3.1 Research Design – – – – – – – 29 3.2 Research Setting – – – – – – – 29 3.3 Target Population – – – – – – – 31 3.4 Sampling Techniques – – – – – – – 31 3.5 Instrument For Data Collection – – – – – 31 3.6 Validity and Reliability of Instrument – – – – 32 3.7 Method of Data Collection – – – – – – 32 3.8 Method of Data Analysis – – – – – – 32 3.9 Ethical Consideration – – – – – – – 32 CHAPTER FOUR 4.0 Introduction – – – – – – – – 33 4.1 Data Presentation – – – – – – – 33 4.2 Answering Research Questions – – – – – 47 4.3 Data Analysis – – – – – – – – 49 4.4 Conclusion – – – – – – – – 53 CHAPTER FIVE 5.0 Introduction – – – – – – – – 54 5.1 Discussion of Findings – – – – – – 54 5.2 Relationship with other Studies/Literature Review – 56 5.3 Implication for Nursing – – – – – – 58 5.4 Summary – – – – – – – – – 58 5.5 Conclusion – – – – – – – – – 59 5.6 Recommendations – – – – – – – 60 References – – – – – – – – – – 63 Appendix – – – – – – – – – – 64 Keywords: ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVES ABOUT NURSING EDUCATION
