Collaborative methodologies, education in and towards responsibility in nurse training

This multiple case study covers three experiments implemented in University Degrees in Nursing, in which learning processes encouraging responsibility were implemented. Action research was the guiding principle of this task. The stages followed were similar to those of the Nursing Healthcare Process. The three cases were geared towards and impregnated with a cooperative methodology, aimed at achieving significant learning on the real meaning of responsibility. The case study was carried out in a qualitative methodology background. This strategy enables a holistic and significant study to be undertaken of an event or phenomenon, in this case university teaching and learning, within the real context in which it is produced (nursing degree lessons), and requires that several different didactic strategies are put into action and various monitoring and assessment instruments are put in place, which represent consistent sources to contrast with the process and the results obtained.
