This caring scholar response to Barry and Purnell’s paper, Uncovering Meaning Through the Aesthetic Turn: A Pedagogy of Caring, expands the dialogue on the role of aesthetics in preparing nurse students to be holistic caring practitioners. Addressing the key concepts of intentionality, aesthetic attitude, aesthetic turn, aesthetic knowing, role of nursing education, and transforming practice, this response further explores the power of aesthetic reflection. The model of helping students develop “caring nurseself” through the aesthetic pathway invites nurse educators to transform curriculum and nursing practice.

Failure in addressing students’ needs in the context of student learning experiences may lead to negative impact on the image of higher education. Framed in self-determination theory, this study examined students’ relatedness on most satisfying experiences in their respective universities. Participants’ (N=1974) responses to open-ended questions were inductively coded to understand relatedness principles of student learning experiences to emerge from the data. The findings revealed that students valued the role of lecturers in professional and personal contexts, peers for friendship and teamwork and academic and non-academic experiences resulted from projects and activities. Given this, to provide a positive learning environment for students, university management needs to address and support lecturers’ well-being, pay attention to student relations on campus and support academic and non-academic activities. By understanding the roles of connecting students to lecturers, students to students and students to administrative staff, we could build a dynamic and functional campus environment for each party to live and care about each other.

This article reports on the outcomes for students who experienced a strongly inclusive learning environment as a means for all to succeed. This Swedish lower secondary school dramatically improved its results, and the article reports the outcomes from the students’ perspectives. Social capital, with its emphasis on relationships, was used to structure interviews with students who had since moved on to high schools across Sweden and was also used to analyse the interview data. Two elements of social capital that appeared to be strongly associated with the students’ success – trust and confidence – are discussed in depth. The article concludes with a consideration of the significance of the role of schools in cultivating trust and the risks associated with schools ignoring this obligation.

Online courses have the ability to connect learners and faculty from across the globe. Understanding the role of diversity as it relates to the pedagogical development of courses is crucial for student success. Faculty are responsible for making authentic connections with students and cultivating an inclusive learning environment. Prior research suggests that this may be achieved through culturally responsive teaching. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to define culturally responsive teaching, discuss the importance and role of intersectionality considerations, and suggest pedagogical best practices and guidelines.

Recently the literature on preparing students for nursing and other professions has emphasized the need for attention to civility, ethical comportment, and formation of professional identity.  Nursing educators play a key role in supporting the formation of ethical comportment and professional nursing identity. Although a number of frameworks exist for the formation of identity, there are none that address the interaction between nursing educators and students or the role of nursing educators in implementing effective pedagogies for formation. In this article a framework developed from existing literature is proposed to guide nursing educator practice in stimulating and supporting the process of professional identity formation and ethical comportment in nursing students. The framework will also serve as a guide for future research in the process of formation of ethical comportment and professional identity.
