Summary
The aim of this project was to answer the question: how can an undergraduate community health nursing course be redesigned to align with competency-based education (CBE) standards? Evidence-based teaching and learning strategies were explored, then incorporated, to help meet the two goals of this project: 1) align the course with the 2021 American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials and 2) map the course components to align and promote competency. The course was developed using the integrated course design framework and employed some best practices of inclusive pedagogy, including active learning techniques and the adoption of open educational resources. An expert panel evaluated the completed project and determined that the project met the goals of being appropriately aligned with the 2021 AACN Essentials and successful mapping of the course. The process of redesigning the course was templated and presented to nursing faculty colleagues through an educational focus group to demonstrate the process of aligning courses with the new recommended competencies and to provide a template with helpful tips for when they redesign their own courses. Qualitative data analyzed from the focus group determined that nursing faculty need varying levels of support for aligning their own courses and that the focus group setting was helpful in pursuit of their own course alignment goals. Recommendations are for nursing faculty to use the integrated course design framework and incorporate active learning strategies and inclusive pedagogy techniques in their own courses when aligning with CBE standards. Educational opportunities for nursing faculty related to aligning their courses and incorporating active learning, inclusive pedagogy techniques, and open educational resources can be helpful to reducing barriers of aligning with CBE standards.
