Doody'sBook Reviews

The fifth edition of Keating's Curriculum Development and Evaluation in Nursing Education provides comprehensive, detailed coverage of developing a quality curriculum that addresses competencies and accreditation standards and, most importantly, prepares students to become first-rate professionals. It includes a timely discussion of the Covid pandemic and its sizable impact on nursing education, expanded coverage of online learning, a new chapter on developing curriculum for clinical environments, current examples of specific strategies in practice, updated AACN essentials, and an upgraded format that enhances readability.

With step-by-step guidance and detailed case studies, the fifth edition provides essential content for nursing students and novice educators on how to develop a quality curriculum, while also helping advanced nursing educators and faculty to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing nursing education environment. Each chapter reinforces learning by providing an introduction, summary, and multiple clear objectives along with examples addressing specific teaching strategies—particularly clinical training and staff development. At the end of each chapter are separate sets of questions and learning activities for nursing faculty and graduate students. An extensive Faculty Resource package includes a course syllabus, suggested teaching strategies and resources, PowerPoints for each section, and supplemental and reflective student learning activities.
