〔Aims〕The aim of this study was to clarify the educational involvement of nursing school teachers toward students in a clinical practice conference.
〔Methods〕The study subject was four nursing teachers with five or more years of teaching experience. Data were generated through participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Then, educational involvement scenes were reconstructed and analyzed qualitatively and inductively.
〔Results〕The results of analysis identified 6 subcategories and they formed 2 categories as followings; [to watch over the discussion] and [to ask questions to students].
〔Conclusions〕In clinical practice conference, nursing teachers are required to play the role of both passive and active facilitators and also to possess the ability to differentially play these two roles. However, these roles have usually demonstrated depending on the ability of each nursing teacher. It is important for nursing teachers to show collegiality, which means reflecting on their own educational approach in clinical practice conference, sharing individual’s reflection with other teachers, and seeking better educational involvement.
