Standards for professional psychology continuing education sponsors: A comparative analysis of health service professions.

Professional nurses frequently view continuing education and staff development narrowly, as in the form of an annual offsite seminar. Staff development is a year around, planned program, adequately funded and creatively administered. Development needs can be identified during annual performance appraisals and strategies to meet the needs written into a formal plan. These strategies might include a variety of educational and vocational opportunities within the organization and in the community. An effective development program should lead to more staff with a wider repertoire of skills and a new vision of their role and responsibility. The nurse manager should see these changes reflected in a more effective and efficient health service and in personal accolades from the organization.

This paper provides a guide for developing a research design for comparative studies in adult and continuing education. To that end, a research methodology will be presented that was developed at the COMPALL and INTALL Winter Schools on Comparative Studies in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning. Central elements for systematic comparisons in adult and continuing education are (1) the object of comparison, (2) research fields for comparison, and (3) inductive comparative categories. These elements form the reference points for the development of a comparative research question in adult and continuing education. The comparative analysis proposes a three-step approach from juxtaposition to interpretation: step 1 – descriptive juxtaposition; step 2 – analytical juxtaposition; and step 3 – analytical interpretation.
