Abstract

The growth and change in the quality of doctoral education from 1979 to 1984 was assessed using a repeated-measures design. Data were analyzed from 14 nursing doctoral programs that participated in both a 1979 and a 1984 study using Educational Testing Service Graduate Program Self-Assessment questionnaires. Findings suggest that doctoral programs experienced a significant growth and maintained a quality environment. Faculty demonstrated an increased commitment to scholarly activities as evidenced by an increase in publications, presentations, and perceptions of time spent on such projects. Students admitted in 1984 had higher entrance grade point averages than students admitted in 1979; more pursued their graduate education on a part-time basis. The evidence documents a growing scholarly maturity in nursing doctoral programs.

摘要

采用重复测量设计评估了1979年至1984年博士教育质量的增长与变化。对14个护理博士项目的数据进行了分析，这些项目在1979年和1984年都参与了使用教育考试服务中心研究生项目自我评估问卷的研究。研究结果表明，博士项目经历了显著增长并维持了高质量的环境。教员对学术活动的投入增加，这体现在出版物、报告数量的增加以及对在这些项目上花费时间的认知上。1984年录取的学生比1979年录取的学生入学平均绩点更高；更多人以兼职方式攻读研究生教育。证据表明护理博士项目的学术成熟度在不断提高。
