    Summary of the research paper:

    A 6 page learning contract proposal for a nursing program focusing on labor and delivery. Today's educational landscape is much different than that of the past, with far less attention given to the humanities as rapidly-evolving technical and scientific information builds, changes and is required to be directly applicable to students' intended or current work. The learning contract provides a means of focusing on specific items and pursuits that the student will need in his particular situation. This proposal lists specific learning objectives, evidence of mastery and suggestions for evaluation. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
