Communication
Collegiality
Autonomy
Accountability
EMPOWERMENT MODEL
Communication-Clear and accurate sharing of key
information toward meeting a shared goal.
Collegiality-Mutually respectful and meaningful
relationship with another individual with a shared
goal.
Autonomy-Possessing or granting others the
authority and capability to function independently
to achieve a goal.
Accountability-Assuming responsibility for
individual decisions and resulting outcomes and
holding others responsible for behavior/decisions.
EMPOWERMENT MODEL
Communication
Communication is part of any relationship and is critical to the educational
environment.
There are two primary purposes of communication in pedagogy.
Clear and accurate communication provides guidance for both faculty
and students toward the stated course objectives. It is in the details
that faculty members establish expectations for course work, i.e.
assignment deadlines, grading and behavior
The second purpose of communication may be even more important. It
is the expression of the underlying value that the faculty has for the
students and vice-a-versa. The way a faculty member communicates
with a student sets the stage for a mutually respectful relationship or
conversely one that is patronizing and disrespectful.
From the first day of contact with students, the manner of communication
between faculty and students, as well as student to student must be honest
and based in mutual respect.
EMPOWERMENT MODEL
Collegiality
The relationship between faculty and
students is shaped through collaboration,
rather than in a hierarchical or
authoritarian structure.
The mutuality of goals within the
relationships decreases the power
differential. Each faculty member serves as
a coach and professional mentor who
wants the student to gain competence.
EMPOWERMENT MODEL
Autonomy
Autonomy has been defined as the ability to act
according to the knowledge and skills that one
holds and when applied to professional practice,
increases satisfaction. Conversely, autonomy is not
a strong characteristic in nursing or in nursing
students. Therefore, this element of the
empowerment model requires determination and
effort among all involved in the educational
partnership.
Approaching learning through student-centered
strategies facilitates student autonomy.
EMPOWERMENT MODEL
Accountability
Accountability is defined and emphasized
in the ANA Code of Ethics. "Accountability
means to be answerable to oneself and
others for one's own actions..." (Provision
4.2).
This imperative must reinforce each and
every relationship, interaction and decision
at every level of nursing education.
EMPOWERMENT MODEL OUTCOMES
Self-efficacy
Competency
Autonomy
Having meaning to ones existence
CONTRACT DEVELOPMENT
First day of class discuss with students the development of a
classroom contract.
Things to be considered to include in the contract:
Timeliness
Respecting others in the classroom
Temperature in the room
Cell phone use
Prayer/Moment of Silence prior to a test
Eating in Class
Dress code
We vote on issues so majority rules.
Each class is different on what they want to include in the
contract. I request a timekeeper to help me stay on schedule.
CONTRACT IMPLEMETATION
Type up the contact and give to students.
This is a verbal, working contract that should be discuss prior to the
beginning of each class to discuss how the contract is going and if
revisions need to be made.
I also have a contract suggestions box for students to utilize who
wish to be anonymous.
CONTRACT OUTCOMES
The classroom is more conducive for learning .
Students realize the impact their behaviors have on the learning
environment.
