1328-1341.
Ingram, N. (1994). Knowledge and level of consciousness: application to
nursing practice. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 20: 881 884.
Activity:
First, Synthesize the 2 articles (Bonis & Ingram) into a maximum of 200
words.
Now synthesize your thoughts in a single academic paper that flows. Here are some
guide questions for you to consider as you write your paper:

1. How would your teaching style be affected by the exemplar found in


Bonis article?
2. Is it really possible to teach reflective practice to nursing students and
junior nurses?
3. Do you agree that only by specializing can general practice be refined
through the interaction of aesthetic and empirical knowledge?
4. Eraut (1985) asks: To what extent is professional knowledge created by
research or in practice, and what is the relationship between the facilitation
of knowledge creation and the promotion of knowledge use? Ingram
proposes an answer. What is your answer to Erauts question.
Do not present your paper as merely answers to the above questions. Your ability
to synthesize and analyze, your skill in sifting through the different articles, and
your ability to clearly articulate your thoughts on this topic are what are being
honed by this activity.
