Nursing Science as Human Science: The New World and Human Becoming

Sandra Schmidt Bunkers, RN; PhD; FAAN

Augustana College, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, bunkers{at}inst.augie.edu

The human science perspective of the theory of human becoming holds intrinsic characteristics conducive to permeating teaching-learning in the 21st century. This column focuses on the challenges involved in the teaching-learning of nursing science as a human science, particularly from a human becoming perspective. Moving from a medical model of studying disease processes as the foundation for nursing education, to a nursing model of understanding the meaning of unitary lived experiences, poses challenges for both faculty and students in today’s nursing world. These challenges include: explicating the unitary nature of humankind, living the responsibility of expressing new thought, perceiving teaching-learning as engaging community; and visioning nursing leadership as a transformative presence in change.

Key Words: challenges • human becoming • human science • nursing science • Parse’s theory
