Inquiry into the interlocution of students engaged with mathematics: appreciating links between research and practice
No full textFor either to be useful, links between research and practice are critical. Just as important are connections between the practice of students engaged in mathematical activity and research that seeks to understand that practice. This research report explores lessons that researchers and practitioners can learn from an inquiry into the interlocution of students working collaboratively in small groups when engaged in talking and listening to each other. We use the term interlocution to denote discursive practices of learners in conversational exchanges. Questions that motivate this research included the following. What discursive practices do interlocutors employ as they work collaboratively to understand and resolve mathematical tasks? How do these practices influence the growth of their mathematical ideas? In what ways do their discursive practices help them move from a contextualized, situated task to generalize the task or their solution? Do students' discursive practices assist them to connect and generalize ideas from a new problem to others on which they have worked?Powell, A. B., & Maher, C. A. (2002).

APN-led advance directives initiative
No full textJacobson, Carolyn
In the United States there are consistently low completion rates of Advance Directives (ADs) and only 17% of patients in Intensive Care Units have completed ADs (Van Scoy, Howrylak, Nguyen, Chen, & Sherman, 2014). Non-completion of ADs causes lengthy pain and suffering, increased length of stay in hospitals, and accrual of unnecessary costs (Maller, 2013). The best care and outcomes are met for patients when ADs are in place (Miller, 2017). The goal of the Clinical Nurse Specialist-Student (CNS-S) is to examine the gaps of why ADs are not consistently completed and then foster interventions to increase the rate of completion. The purpose of this project is for the CNS-S to lead an initiative to increase awareness, understanding, discussions, documentation, and completion of ADs. The CNS-S utilized the Donabedian Model, the CNS spheres of influence, and Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory to guide the initiative. A pre and post questionnaire was used to assess the clinical staff’s knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of ADs in a hospital outpatient department (HOD). Clinical staff members were provided with tool kits on ADs, a Power Point Presentation, and instructions on documentation of ADs in the electronic medical record (EMR). Other interventions included presenting to the nurse residency program; and educational booths for the public including posters and pamphlets. The CNS-S raised awareness to the clinical staff as noted by the postquestionnaire and in two months increased the completion rates of ADs in the HOD setting.
