Creation of an Evidence-Informed,
Context-Relevant, Unified Curriculum 1
CHAPTER PREVIEW
Curriculum development in nursing education is a scholarly and creative process
intended to produce an evidence-informed, context-relevant, unified curriculum.
It is an ongoing activity in nursing education, even in schools with established
curricula. In this text, the term schools is used to encompass Schools, Facul-
ties, and Colleges of Nursing.
The extent of curriculum development ranges from regular refinement of
class activities to the creation of a completely original and reconceptualized cur-
riculum. In this text, curriculum development activities are presented individually
for ease of description and comprehension. However, emphasis is on the idea
that the curriculum development process does not occur in ordered, sequential
stages or phases. The process is iterative, with some work occurring concur-
rently, and with each new decision having the potential to affect previous ones.
This chapter begins with definitions and conceptualizations of curriculum
and an evidence-informed, context-relevant, unified curriculum. These are fol-
lowed by a description of curriculum development in nursing education. Next,
the Model of Evidence-Informed, Context-Relevant, Unified Curriculum Develop-
ment is presented. The model comprises a summary of the major aspects of
the curriculum development process, serving as an advance organizer for this
text. Additionally, attention is given to some of the interpersonal issues that can
influence the curriculum development team, and hence, the completed work.
The ideas about the curriculum development process introduced in this chapter
are discussed more comprehensively in succeeding chapters.
The term curriculum work is used in this chapter and throughout the text
as a shorthand method of referring to all or some of the activities of curriculum

Curriculum or Program?
Although the term nursing curriculum is often used interchangeably with nursing
program, the latter is broader in scope. The nursing program is comprised of
the nursing curriculum; the school of nursing culture; administrative operations
of the school; faculty members’ complete teaching, research, and professional
activities; the school’s relationships with other academic units, healthcare
and community agencies, and professional and accrediting organizations;
institution-wide support services for students and faculty; and support for the
school of nursing within and beyond the parent institution. In brief, the nurs-
ing program includes activities and relationships that influence the quality and
nature of the student experience but extend beyond the student experience itself.
Evidence-Informed
A curriculum that is evidence-informed is based on systematically and purpose-
fully gathered evidence about:
• Students, learning, teaching, evaluation, and nursing education prac-
tices and trends
8 Chapter 1 Creation of an Evidence-Informed, Context-Relevant, Unified Curriculum
Context-Relevant
A curriculum that is context-relevant is:
• Responsive to students; current and projected societal, health, and
community situations; and current and projected imperatives of the
nursing profession
• Consistent with the mission, philosophy, and goals of the educational
institution and school of nursing
• Feasible within the realities of the school and community
This type of curriculum is defined by, and grounded in, the forces and cir-
cumstances that affect society, health care, education, recipients of nursing care,
the nursing profession, and the educational institution. Although there will be
significant similarities in the nursing curricula of many schools, those that are
most strongly contextually relevant will have unique features reflective of local
and/or regional circumstances. However, a context-relevant curriculum is not
simply reactive to current circumstances; it also reflects attention to projections
about the future. As such, a context-relevant curriculum is forward looking
and prepares graduates for current nursing practice and the type of nursing
practice that could or should exist now and in the future.
Unified
A curriculum that is unified contains curricular components that are conceptu-
ally, logically, cohesively, and visibly related, specifically:
• Philosophical approaches, professional abilities, and curriculum
concepts are evident in the curriculum goals or outcomes.
• Level and course learning goals or outcomes/competencies are derived
from the curriculum goals or outcomes.

to strengthen the school’s impact on the community and to gain support from
members of the educational institution, community, and nursing profession.
The curriculum development process has no absolute end. Once developed,
the nursing curriculum undergoes refinements and modifications as it is imple-
mented, researched, and evaluated, and as new evidence becomes available about
teaching, learning, students, society, health, health care, nursing education, and
nursing practice. A nursing curriculum cannot remain static, inert, and unaltered
because the evidence that informs the curriculum and the circumstances in
which it is offered are constantly changing. The alterations (some minor, some
extensive) made during the life of the curriculum reflect faculty members’ on-
going efforts to offer a strong curriculum that is relevant to its context and to
the students experiencing it.
The model is applicable to all levels of nursing education and to all forms of
curriculum delivery.
Faculty Development
Faculty development is necessary for all aspects of curriculum work because
many nursing faculty and other stakeholders may have little or no prepara-
tion in educational theory. An evidence-informed, context-relevant, unified
curriculum can result only when the developers understand the processes of
curriculum development. Therefore, deliberate and ongoing faculty develop-
ment is essential to:
• Ensure that those engaged in curriculum development acquire the ne-
cessary knowledge and skills to contribute meaningfully to the pro-
cesses and decisions of curriculum development
• Implement and evaluate the curriculum as intended
Individuals’ openness to new ideas and methods is fundamental to curricu-
lum work, and this openness is nurtured through faculty development activi-
ties. Members’ changing perspectives are indicative of personal development,
intellectual growth, and emerging commitment to the developing curriculum.
Ongoing Appraisal
Ongoing appraisal is the deliberative, continuous, repeated, and careful critique
of curriculum ideas, products, and processes during and after their creation,
implementation, and evaluation. Ongoing appraisal of all aspects of the processes
and products of curriculum development is inherent to the overall endeavor.
Review and critique are necessary to ensure that:
• Completed work is consistent with the basic curriculum tenets and is
of an appropriate quality.
• The processes in place are effective and satisfactory to members of the
curriculum development team.
Scholarship
Scholarship is a central activity of academia, and therefore, ought to be a core
activity of all curriculum work. This scholarship can include formal research,
expository or analytical publications, and presentations to peers and stakehold-
ers. Topics could include the processes experienced, insights gained, and work
completed. Such activities elevate curriculum work from a local initiative to
knowledge development and dissemination, thereby advancing the science of
nursing education.
Figure 1-2 is a model of the relationship of the three core processes to cur-
riculum development, implementation, and evaluation. The core processes are
foundational to intellectual rigor in curriculum work.

The Affair of the Virginius.
End of Slavery.
"In February, 1873, when King Amadeus resigned his crown and a
republic was proclaimed in Spain, the United States made haste to
give the new government recognition and support, which led to
friendly relations between the two countries for a time, and
promised happy results. The Spanish republicans were being
urged to give the Cubans self-government and end slavery in
the whole Spanish domain, and they were lending, at least, a
considerate ear to the advice. But negotiation on that topic
was soon disturbed. On October 31, 1873, the steamer
'Virginius,' sailing under American colors and carrying a
United States registry, was captured on the high seas by the
'Tornado,' a Spanish war vessel, and on the afternoon of the
first of November taken into the port of Santiago de Cuba. The
men and supplies she bore were bound for the insurgents, but
the capture did not occur in Cuban waters. General Burriel,
the commandant of the city, summoned a court-martial, and, in
spite of the protests of the American consul, condemned to
death—at the first sitting—four of the passengers—General W.
A. C. Ryan, an Irish patriot, and three Cubans. They were shot
on the morning of November 4. On the 7th twelve other
passengers were executed, and on the 8th Captain Fry and his
entire crew, numbering 36, making the total number of
executions 53." This barbarous procedure caused hot excitement
in the United States, and demands for reparation were made so
sharply that the two countries came near to war. In the end it
was shown that the "Virginius" was sailing under the American
flag without right, being owned by Cubans and controlled by
them. The vessel was surrendered, however, but foundered off
Cape Fear, while being conveyed to the United States. Her
surviving passengers were released, and an indemnity was paid
for all who were put to death. The brutal officer who took
their lives was never brought to justice, though his
punishment was promised again and again. On the settlement of
the Virginius question, the government of the United States
resumed its efforts to wring concessions to the Cubans from
Spain, and sought to have its efforts supported by Great
Britain and other European powers. Cold replies came from all
the cabinets that were approached. At the same time, the
Spanish government met the demand from America with promises
so lavish (April, 1876), going so far in appearance towards
all that had been asked, that no ground for intervention
seemed left. The act of Secretary Fish, in proposing
intervention to foreign powers, was sharply criticised as a
breach of the Monroe doctrine; but he made no defense.

CUBA: A. D. 1895.
Insurrection renewed.
Early in 1895 a new uprising of the oppressed Cubans was
begun, and on the 7th of December, in that year, T. Estrada
Palma, writing as their authorized representative, presented
to the State Department at Washington a statement setting
forth the causes of the revolt and describing its state of
organization at that time. The causes, he wrote, "are
substantially the same as those of the former revolution,
lasting from 1868 to 1878, and terminating only on the
representation of the Spanish Government that Cuba would be
granted such reforms as would remove the grounds of complaint
on the part of the Cuban people. Unfortunately the hopes thus
held out have never been realized. The representation which
was to be given the Cubans has proved to be absolutely without
character; taxes have been levied anew on everything
conceivable; the offices in the island have increased, but the
officers are all Spaniards; the native Cubans have been left
with no public duties whatsoever to perform, except the
payment of taxes to the Government and blackmail to the
officials, without privilege even to move from place to place
in the island except on the permission of the governmental
authority. Spain has framed laws so that the natives have
substantially been deprived of the right of suffrage. The
taxes levied have been almost entirely devoted to support the
army and navy in Cuba, to pay interest on the debt that Spain
has saddled on the island, and to pay the salaries of the vast
number of Spanish officeholders, devoting only $746,000 for
internal improvements out of the $26,000,000 collected by tax.
No public schools are within reach of the masses for their
education. All the principal industries of the island are
hampered by excessive imposts. Her commerce with every country
but Spain has been crippled in every possible manner, as can
readily be seen by the frequent protests of shipowners and
merchants. The Cubans have no security of person or property.
The judiciary are instruments of the military authorities.
Trial by military tribunals can be ordered at any time at the
will of the Captain-General. There is, beside, no freedom of
speech, press, or religion. In point of fact, the causes of
the Revolution of 1775 in this country were not nearly as
grave as those that have driven the Cuban people to the
various insurrections which culminated in the present
revolution. …

"Article 1.
All inhabitants of the district of Sancti Spiritus and the
provinces of Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba will have to
concentrate in places which are the headquarters of a
division, a brigade, a column, or a troop, and will have to be
provided with documentary proof of identity, within eight days
of the publication of this proclamation in the municipalities.
"Article 2.
To travel in the country in the radius covered by the columns
in operation, it is absolutely indispensable to have a pass
from the mayor, military commandants, or chiefs of
detachments. Anyone lacking this will be detained and sent to
headquarters of divisions or brigades, and thence to Havana,
at my disposition, by the first possible means. Even if a pass
is exhibited, which is suspected to be not authentic or granted
by authority to person with known sympathy toward the
rebellion, or who show favor thereto, rigorous measures will
result to those responsible.
"Article 3.
All owners of commercial establishments in the country
districts will vacate them, and the chiefs of columns will
take such measures as the success of their operations dictates
regarding such places which, while useless for the country's
wealth, serve the enemy as hiding places in the woods and in
the interior.

All passes hitherto issued hereby become null and void."
