Abstract

This qualitative research uncovered challenges that nursing faculty experience as they assess, plan, implement, and evaluate nursing-education informatics in an associate's degree program in nursing. Purposes for the research were to draw attention to the need for evidence-based research in this area and to collect data to build a foundation of knowledge for future researchers to build upon. The framework by Price and Oliver (2007), published in the "Journal of Educational Technology & Society," considers technological changes in educational practice. Their concepts gave structure to the study. Participants included the nursing department chair and eight faculty members in an associate degree program in California. Data collection occurred through observations and interviews. A questionnaire provided background information for the interview. HyperTRANSCRIBE software was used to facilitate transcription. HyperRESEARCH software was used to code, organize, and retrieve data.
