Biography
Cynthia M A Baluyot has her expertise in knowledge-based practice within the sociocultural learning approach. She developed the figure presentation above as a model in her teaching when she submitted her portfolio and qualified her for DNS in 2014 at Oslo Met- Oslo Metropolitan University (earlier Oslo & Akershus University College). She has built this model after years of experience in nursing practice & administration, teaching, evaluation and research. The foundation is based on Vygotsky`s teaching philosophy (1996) and Knowledge-based practice (Nortvedt, M. W., Jamtvedt, G., Graverholt, B., Nordheim, L. V. & Reinar, L.M. 2012). In the application of sociocultural learning theory, learning promotes students` progress & development, headlining the importance of didactics and clinical experiences to which the students are exposed. It emphasizes social interaction in the construction of knowledge and integration of knowledge-based practice in theoretical and clinical studies.
Multicultural nursing is also a field of expertise by Cynthia M A Baluyot, where she has three articles in 2001-2003 and 2014.
