The ability to attain knowledge for implementation within real-world environments is a shift in understanding within many instructional environments. Shifting from competency-based understandings wherein a knowledge base is attained as well as implemented towards a capability-based understanding that emphasizes the conceptual framework of information shift towards higher order knowledge creation within novel situations and environments is essential. Lifelong learning within nuanced understandings of new situations and new experiences is essential. Normally, these novel situations and experiences occur within a real-world community environment wherein the learner is critically analyzing new information and opinions from innumerable engaged people within the community. This style of learning is vital to understand within a competency-based learning environment, as well. Therefore, real-world instructional learning embeds the supporting community engagement at distinctly appropriate and impactful points throughout the instructional process, resulting in outstanding conceptual frameworks with the continuous understanding around cognitive engagement.

Introduction Nursing curriculum must include unique ways to enhance students’ cultural sensitivity to ensure the provision of culturally competent care to our diverse populations. Academic community engagement (ACE) is a pedagogy used to teach course concepts through service. Methodology This was a qualitative study analyzing nursing students’ written reflective journals following their service at a Native American powwow using Lincoln and Guba’s model. The purpose was to examine if the ACE experience influenced their development of cultural sensitivity. Results Reflective journals of 34 first-semester nursing students, enrolled in a nursing specific culture course, were analyzed. Three themes were identified: (a) engagement, (b) cultural sensitivity, and (c) humility and altruism. Discussion The development of self-awareness and the revelation by students of the importance of culturally sensitive care was a key finding supporting the use of ACE as a reliable teaching strategy in nursing education.
