PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP: Advancing the Science of Nursing Education Research: Implications for Multi-Method Research

Description/Overview: The purpose of this workshop is to explore and evaluate the usefulness of integral theory and mixed-method research designs to support educational inquiry and innovations in nursing education research. Through the use of liberating structures, participants will be engaged in active learning experiences to discuss nursing education research interests through the system of lenses associated with eight types of integral research methods. Framing and re framing nursing education research in light of mixed-method research approaches is one way to promote innovation and advance the knowledge base and science related to teaching and learning in nursing education contexts.
