Preparing Education Researchers: Identifying Necessary Competencies for Teachers, Administrators, and Student Affairs Professionals

This descriptive study aimed to answer two research questions: (a) what are the assessment, evaluation, and research (AER) competencies necessary for three educator types (teachers, K-12 administrators, and higher education student affairs professionals); and (b) what are the similarities and differences in competencies by educator type? Current professional standards for each educator type were identified and coded for alignment with AER topics, then reviewed for similarities and differences. Results suggest that teacher competency standards focus heavily on assessment; administrator competencies focus on ethical decision making and continuous improvement; and student affairs professional standards focus on advocacy and supporting institutional mission. These results imply that education preparation programs may need to adjust AER course curriculum and instruction to align with distinct educator needs.

Medication administration behaviors in prelicensure nursing students: A longitudinal, cohort study

AimThis longitudinal study identified changes in safe medication administration behaviors in a single cohort of students followed over four semesters of nursing school. BackgroundOver 40% of a nurse’s shift is dedicated to the processes of medication administration, placing them in a position to interrupt costly medication errors. Yet, despite efforts to decrease medication errors, including electronic medical records, smart pumps, and standardized processes, 5% of hospitalized patients experience adverse drug events and the sequela costs billions of dollars annually. One cognitive aid first introduced in nursing school to help nurses administer medications safely is the rights method, including the foundational five (patient, medication, dose, route, and time). However, facility restrictions, complicated electronic health records, and high faculty-to-student ratios are limiting opportunities to apply these rights and develop safe medication administration competency. Although nursing faculty and clinical partners expect competency when initially licensed as professionals, graduating nursing students are not competent and new graduates feel ill prepared to deliver medications safely. Previous studies report findings on safe medication administration in different cohorts of nursing students, but none has followed the same cohort of students throughout nursing school. DesignUsing a non-experimental design, the same cohort of nursing students was followed over four semesters and observed independently administering medications in simulation scenarios. MethodsEach semester, this cohort of students self-selected into 10–12 simulation groups. One student from each group was randomized to the role of primary nurse. Guided by the NLN/Jeffries simulation theory and the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning’s Standards of Best Practice: SimulationSM, students participated in four simulations that required the primary nurse to deliver medications as part of clinical care. A single investigator completed an observational checklist during the simulations on verification of the foundational five rights in these students. ResultsVerification of most rights varied each semester, but students consistently did poorly verifying right dose. One hundred percent of students observed in the first semester did not verify all five rights. At the time of graduation, 80% of students observed did not verify all five rights prior to medication administration. ConclusionsThese concerning findings align with previous research showing that students are not safely administering medications in patient care settings. Educators, administrators, and healthcare systems need to ensure that students receive consistent, high-quality experiences vital to training future nurses for competency in safe medication administration.

Emotional Labor and Professionalism: Finding Balance at the Local Level

When examining emotions and professionalism, scholars have questioned how these concepts can coexist. Using ten interviews with local administrators, this exploratory study suggests that emotions and professionalism are interrelated—to be professional, an administrator must be skilled in emotional labor. Specifically, professionalism acts as a display rule regulating the emotional behavior of employees. An employee's ability to meet this display rule impacts their individual social capital, along with experiences of emotional contagion from other organizational members. By connecting emotional labor to professionalism, these findings suggest that the emotional competencies of local administrators should receive greater emphasis in professional training programs.

Preparing for the worst: South African municipalities’ readiness to manage disasters related to potential shale gas mining

The topic of shale gas mining has been hotly debated in South Africa. One unexplored issue is municipalities’ readiness to deal with potential disasters related to shale gas mining. In South Africa, municipalities vary greatly in their ability to function well; this is due to complex factors related to intergovernmental relations, funding systems, political leadership, and administrative competence. This paper reviews the planning documents of the 25 mainly rural municipalities in the Karoo region, to assess the prominence and effectiveness of disaster management planning. Municipalities will have to navigate a complex intergovernmental system with confusing legislative mandates. Many municipalities have insufficient trained staff, inadequate equipment and vehicles, poor command systems, divergent municipal by-laws, and weak civilian networks. Any investment in shale gas mining will have to be accompanied by a concerted effort by national government, as well as any future shale gas investor, to strengthen provincial and municipal disaster management systems.
