| Abstract: | The shift of nurse education from the hospitals to higher education institutions has resulted in a large pool of students
within the Universities requiring basic science instruction. Most of these students are female, often mature age, with limited
science backgrounds. This paper discusses the type of science education demanded by the nursing profession, the view of science
as a subject held by these students, and the key role played by constructivist thinking in dealing with both of these.
Specializations: The language of science textbooks; relations between science and literature; science in nursing education. |
