Teaching is essential to holistic scholarship and training compassionate nurses. Contemplative pedagogy informs Dr. Bevan's teaching, a method that facilitates student understanding of their intersecting identities in course content. Dr. Bevan emphasizes innovative practices by developing applied and co-designed courses, using active learning strategies, and encouraging synthesis through mindful attention.
Dr. Bevan's background in social science allows her to contextualize clinical learning in systems-level thinking, illustrating complex ideas through current and historical examples. These approaches are essential for students, who learn to integrate clinical experiences in social frameworks as they develop into nurse leaders.
This course presents advanced techniques for management and analysis of multiple quantitative variables. These techniques apply to complex research designs characteristic of studies of nursing problems and behavioral science questions. Topics include manipulating longitudinal datasets, integrating datasets from multiple sources, multiple regression, logistic regression analyses, factor analysis, repeated measures analysis, and multivariate techniques.
