Abstract

Educators are continuously searching for ways to increase teaching effectiveness and improve student outcomes for nursing programs across the country. Educational research historically has focused on student engagement and teaching effectiveness separately, and while there is a connection that is presumed between the two in the literature, it is not clearly stated. An important factor in improving student outcomes and teaching effectiveness is the impact of student engagement on learning and the consideration of environmental factors beyond the classroom. The focus of this research is to determine how teaching effectiveness affects student engagement, and what the level of engagement of students has on the perception of teaching effectiveness. This study aims to review teaching characteristics that show teaching effectiveness and promote student-centered learning, and explore the relationship between perceived engagement of nursing students and what they feel are the characteristics of effective teachers. The purpose of this study is to explore how teaching effectiveness impacts student engagement, what are student perceptions of teaching characteristics that show effectiveness, and to assess the relationship between student engagement and the various levels (Level 1-5) of the nursing student within a conceptual-based Baccalaureate nursing program.
