Achieving excellence in nurse education and demonstrating scholarship in teaching is a challenge for nurse educators who find themselves torn between maintaining high standards in nurse education and their own need for recognition and promotion in an environment that primarily favours research and publications over excellence in teaching. The use of a teaching portfolio is a way to display excellence in nurse education and to provide a public display of teaching scholarship. While not a new concept in nursing education, it has some originality in its application to practising nurse educators. However, the requirement for and guidelines on the development of a portfolio for nurse educators (other than those undertaking educational training) has been little explored. The aim of this paper is to explore the concept of a teaching portfolio as a vehicle to demonstrate excellence and scholarship among seasoned nurse educators. The process of developing a teaching portfolio at one university setting is outlined, so that other teachers are enlightened to the potential benefits of this activity.
实现护理教育卓越并展示教学学术水平,对于那些发现自己在维护护理教育高标准和在以研究和出版物为主要优势、而不是教学卓越为优先的环境中获得认可和晋升的需求之间左右为难的护理教育者来说,是一项挑战。使用教学档案袋是展示护理教育卓越和展示教学学术水平的一种方式。虽然在护理教育中不是一个新概念,但它在应用于实践中的护理教育者方面具有一定的创新性。然而,对于从事教育培训的护士教育者以外的人来说,对于开发档案袋的要求和指导方针还很少被探索。本文的目的是探讨教学档案袋作为展示经验丰富的护理教育者卓越和学术水平的一种手段的概念。概述了在一个大学环境中开发教学档案袋的过程,以便使其他教师了解这项活动的潜在好处。
