Currently, the development of information technology and the increase in the number of nursing students occur drastically. Based on this premise, the purpose of this article is to shed light into the future development of curriculum for the nursing field. Philosophy is considered one of the most important components of both education system and curriculum, because the educational philosophies reflect the social, economic and political aspects of a society, in which they are applied. As an educator, understanding the philosophy to be adapted in the curriculum and learning process is important, to provide a framework for the best performance of both the teacher and the student. In conclusion, it is important to implement the philosophy of curriculum in the education program as each philosophy aids in the principles and guidelines of the learning process. Globally, most programs are usually based on the philosophy related to that program. Therefore, as an educator, we must know the philosophical development of the curriculum of education, so that we are able to analyse and choose which is appropriate.

To the Editor.— In the article "Primary Care: The Future of Pediatric Education"1 Dr Alpert addresses many issues facing pediatrics. I agree with his list of problems. However, I doubt that the social, economic, and cultural changes he describes will ever occur. My informal survey of pediatricians in practice is a song of frustration and boredom. The ringing telephone provides the rhythm. How does a patient-physician relationship develop in an environment of missed appointments, 3 AM emergency department visits, and managed care? Many families change physicians whenever employers change health benefits packages.

We live in an age characterized by increasing environmental, social, economic, and political uncertainty. Human societies face significant challenges, ranging from climate change to food security, biodiversity declines and extinction, and political instability. In response, scientists, policy makers, and the general public are seeking new interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary approaches to evaluate and identify meaningful solutions to these global challenges. Underrecognized among these challenges is the disappearing record of past environmental change, which can be key to surviving the future. Historical sciences such as archaeology access the past to provide long-term perspectives on past human ecodynamics: the interaction between human social and cultural systems and climate and environment. Such studies shed light on how we arrived at the present day and help us search for sustainable trajectories toward the future. Here, we highlight contributions by archaeology—the study of the human past—to interdisciplinary research programs designed to evaluate current social and environmental challenges and contribute to solutions for the future. The past is a multimillennial experiment in human ecodynamics, and, together with our transdisciplinary colleagues, archaeology is well positioned to uncover the lessons of that experiment.

By July 2006 all 85 local authorities expect to have their 10-year Long Term Council Community Plans (LTCCPs) signed and sealed, and passing muster with an unqualified audit report. The new Local Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002) has provided councils with general empowerment and introduced a new purpose (section 3) for local government: to ‘promote the social, economic, cultural and environmental well-being of communities now and for the future’.

Yale historian Robin Winks once observed that writing history is “like nailing jelly to the wall.” But, he added, “someone must keep trying.” Trying to describe sweeping historical trends and then to predict future trends is even more difficult. This chapter considers futurists’ predictions as to the social, economic, and behavioral advances we might expect in the next 50 years. The predictions are divided into three categories: technological transformations, economic and practical changes, and cultural alterations in general attitudes. The future of love and sex is discussed in the context of these changes, along with trends in globalization. Since we tend to think technology may be the major driver of change in history, the chapter starts there.

We start with the question of city definition and we present the concept as it is normally accepted in geography. That means focusing in concentration, centrality and services, besides the fact that the city is a social-economic process and a spatial form. The first component however raises the question of territorial appropriation and identification of space by users. Urbanization implies transformation, thus in the second part we refer to the most important components of the urban change. They run between opposite trends that almost enable the prediction o f the future for the cityscapes, once they are concentration and descentralization, growth and decline, global homogeneity and place differentiation. We look at them through the modifications they have in the urban land or in the social structure.

In this paper, we believed that social tag is a new paradigm of resource organizing and sharing. It is a very suitable technology using in e-learning systems. We discussed with the learning process in the e-learning system based on social tags. We brought forward a new individual learning process model based on social tags. And we compared with the new learning process model and traditional process model. The new individual learning process model could improve the interaction between learners and between human and computers. The social tags could help the e-learning system build the learners preference model and knowledge model.

The progress of information technology is viewed as an aspect of the development of the social productive forces. At first, the use of information technology leads to the displacement of elementary types of labor activity that do not require complex mental operations and more advanced types of it afterwards. This raises the question of what awaits teachers as a social group. Will there be a significant reduction in the number of teaching staff? And won't the teaching profession disappear altogether, as the pro-fessions of telephone operators and secretaries-typists have previously sunk into oblivion? We proceed from the fact that information technology, facilitating the handling of information, can and should be a teacher's assistant, since the learning process is largely asso-ciated with its assimilation and comprehension. But no technical device can replace the teacher, because teaching is a process of spir-itual growth of the student's personality, which occurs under the influence of the teacher's personality. Based on this view, a number of arguments are formulated against the idea of "optimization" of the education system and speaking bluntly, against the reduction of the number of teachers and the intensification of their work.

Vurdering av kompetanse i praksisstudier er en kjent utfordring i sykepleierutdanninger både i Norge og internasjonalt. Denne studien utforsker sykepleierstudenters erfaringer med det nye lærings- og vurderingsverktøyet Respons. Studien har en kvalitativ tilnærming med et beskrivende og utforskende design. Det var 27 sykepleierstudenter fra tre læresteder som deltok i utprøving av det nye verktøyet, 21 av disse møtte til påfølgende intervju i fokusgrupper. Dataanalysen er gjennomført i tråd med prinsipper for kvalitativ innholdsanalyse og ledet til to kategorier: Styrket eierskap og framdrift i læringsprosessen og Økt tillit til vurderingens kvalitet. Mange av informantene beskrev en mer aktiv holdning til egen læring og tettere samhandling med sine praksisveiledere. Flere var opptatt av at Respons i større grad enn tidligere vurderingsverktøy bidro til løpende vurdering. Informantene la også vekt på at Respons sikrer en felles standard for vurdering. Studien understøtter behovet for å utforske hvordan læringsutbyttestyrt pedagogikk utspiller seg i praksishverdagen. Abstract Assessment of competence in clinical studies is a well-known challenge in nursing education both in Norway and internationally. The aim of this study was to investigate nursing students' experiences with the new learning and assessment tool Response. The study has a qualitative approach with a descriptive and exploratory design. The new tool was tested by 27 nursing students. The following interviews in focus groups included 21 students. A process of content analysis identified two categories: Strengthened ownership and progress in the learning process and increased confidence in the quality of assessment. The findings revealed experiences of a more active attitude to the students’ own learning process and a closer interaction with their supervisors. Furthermore, the students reported that the new assessment tool contributed to ongoing assessment and ensured a common standard for assessment. Finally, the study supports the need to explore how learning outcome-driven policy unfolds in everyday practice.
