We describe the experience of a collaborative, dialogical process on nursing pedagogy to identify the best process for creating a mutually beneficial international nursing education exchange.
Faculty from two universities in Sucre, Bolivia and in Seattle, Washington, US engaged in planned virtual dialogues to share their nursing curricula, course content, teaching methodologies, and contextual challenges and strengths.
From the dialogues, a thematic analysis using a modified conventional content analysis approach was completed, and four themes emerged: 1) similarities in course content, pedagogy, and curricular challenges; 2) differences in teaching competencies; 3) teaching methodologies responsive to national trends; and 4) benefits from and alternatives to the use of educational technology. Early dialogues among participants allowed them to discern areas of need and interest for future planning.
Intentional academic dialogues should be the first step to enter in an exchange program to enable participants from different hemispheres to contribute equally as partners in the formation of nurses able to respond the current global health concerns.
我们描述了一个关于护理教学法的协作、对话过程的经验，以确定创建互利的国际护理教育交流的最佳过程。
来自玻利维亚苏克雷的两所大学和美国华盛顿西雅图的教师进行了计划中的虚拟对话，分享他们的护理课程、课程内容、教学方法以及背景挑战和优势。
通过对话，使用修改后的常规内容分析方法进行了主题分析，出现了四个主题：1）课程内容、教学法和课程挑战的相似之处；2）教学能力的差异；3）顺应国家趋势的教学方法；4）教育技术的使用收益和替代方案。参与者之间的早期对话使他们能够确定未来规划的需求和兴趣领域。
有意愿的学术对话应该是进入交流项目的第一步，以使来自不同半球的参与者能够作为平等的合作伙伴参与到能够应对当前全球健康关注的护士的培养中。
