Online Vs. Blended Learning: Differences In Instructional Outcomes And Student Satisfaction, Genoa Occhipinti

Doctor of Education (Ed.D)

Satisfaction of delivery models between online and blended doctor of education courses were examined.

No relationship was found between cumulative grade point average and student satisfaction with the instructor, the course, and delivery models; however, cumulative grade point averages (CGPAs) were found to be high for both delivery models. When overall student satisfaction and instructor ratings were compared from blended and online courses, significant differences were found …

On the other hand, Asian spiritual techniques and esoteric methods of healing are practiced more frequently by students in North-Western European countries. In the second part of the paper, we examine the relationship between academic discipline and religious worldviews. According to our …

Those Entitled Millennials: Comparative Analyses Of Nursing Faculty And Student Narcissism And Organizational Support Measurements, Kate Rocklein Kemplin, Peyton Marie O'Kain

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Purpose: Internationally, attrition of nurses and nursing faculty is well-documented (Aiken, Sloane, Bruyneel, Van den Heede, Sermeus, & RN4CAST Consortium, 2013; Van den Heede, Florquin, Bruyneel, Aiken, Diya, Lesaffre, & Sermeus, 2013). Intergenerational antagonism between the millennial generation of nursing students who are entering practice and older generations of nurses and nursing faculty may lead to high professional attrition and therefore, poor patient outcomes due to the lack of dedicated, young nurses who feel supported by those who should be mentoring them for the future. Vast generational differences exist between the upcoming cohorts of nurses, i.e. "Millennials" entering practice and …
