Analysis of knowledge in nursing management educational objectives based on Anderson’s revision of Bloom's taxonomy

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the Nursing management educational objectives and nurse duties required to be achieved in the nursing management curriculum in nursing job analysis. Methods: Nursing management educational objectives and knowledge to be achieved in a nursing management curriculum in nursing job analysis were analyzed using Anderson’s Revision of Bloom's taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Results: The analysis showed that 172 (59.3%) of the 290 educational objectives of the nursing management corresponded to 'conceptual knowledge' and 167 (57.6%) of the 'cognitive process dimension' were 'understanding'. In the job analysis, 29 out of 57 (50.9%) were procedural knowledge. The finding indicates that ‘health promotion and maintenance’ duty was excluded from the job analysis, but included in the nursing management curriculum and objectives. Conclusion: The results of this study contribute to the foundation of nursing management as a practical study by analyzing the goal of nursing management learning in connection with the job analysis required in the field.
