Abstract Details

2008, EdD, University of Cincinnati, Education : Curriculum and Instruction.
This is a mixed quantitative and qualitative comparative study of allied health professionals (AHP) in electroneurodiagnostics (END). END is the scientific field devoted to the recording and study of electrical activity of the brain and nervous system. Three AHP groups participated, (a) college educators; (b) on-the-job training instructors who were members of their professional society, the American Society of END Technologists (ASET); and (c) on-the-job training instructors who were not ASET members. This research paper compares and quantifies the curricular alignment of published standards-based competencies with the teaching practices and competency assessment within the three groups. The allied health field of END is in a state of technological, educational, cultural, and social change. Surveys and interviews of END teachers across the United States (U.S.) answered the question, “Do END college educators and on-the-job (OTJ) instructors teach according to professional published standards?” This research contributes to the health care profession by demonstrating that a difference exists between training and competency assessment of skill standards taught on the job and in higher education. The differences support new END training and educational methods in the future.
