An exploratory study of the use of cognitive strategies by faculty members and their students in associate degree nursing education

As health care becomes extremely complex, faculty members and students must deal with massive amounts of information in nursing education. As nursing struggles in a curriculum revolution to move away from the behavioristic influence toward a more humanistic philosophy, cognitive strategies may be a key that will enable students to intellectually manage their complex environments with the large arrays of information. Cognitive theories, which are concerned with the thinking, perception, and other intellectual functioning of an individual, served as the theoretical background for the study.
