NURS FPX 6017 Assessment 2 Attempt 2 Course Development and Influencing Factors KP
Lack of endurance in maintaining a program’s essential ideas and values is caused of insufficient coordination among stakeholders in curriculum development. Internal stakeholders (Teachers) frequently have an imperfect vision of the design work and require assistance in building a clear sense of what is required of them under the methods and the output. Second, external support may activate instructors’ pre-existing information and ideas, serving as a medium of knowledge. Third, instructors have poor conceptual knowledge of curriculum planning, which causes them to miss critical stages of the curriculum planning process, such as evaluation and understanding, resulting in low-quality curricula. Collaboration between internal and external stakeholder during curriculum development is not always without difficulties, and one must be intentionally ready to cope with potential hurdles such as variations in aims and customs, misconceptions, various emphases and goals, and a lack of communication (Button, 2021). A lack of desire, as well as a lack of knowledge or a perceived lack of competencies in the possible mate, might be barriers to collaboration. According to study, business leaders feel that academics are inexperienced with new information and, as a result, lack faith in professors (Button, 2021). Situations can also be competing, and communication between universities and employers can be problematic, for example, due to specific employers’/professions’ differing perspectives and wants.
To overcome the impediments to collaboration, universities and colleges are concentrated on the better application of research, the focused utilization of research facilities, and more effective communication (Sassanian & Shandi, 2018). Effort is required consistently in order to foster confidence. Academics may help by making themselves more available and visible, communicating their findings to the general public, and giving presentations in a language and manner that the population appreciates. Trust and confidence are also demonstrated by spending enough time with the partner and having a good approach toward collaboration. It has also been shown that prior creative experience aids in the removal of obstacles and those organizations should give equal coverage to the structural, cultural, and language components of interacting with stakeholders.
To summarize, working with stakeholders is a mutually beneficial activity during curriculum development, although there are hazards, as with any communication. It is a significant difficulty to consider both your own and your colleague’s interests while maintaining the connection. Because the elements most impacting cooperation are connected to the internal capabilities of the organizations and the mutual trust of the partners, collaboration activities may be regarded as a long process of creating mutual understanding.
