Educational Assessment and Evaluation

Catalog description

Nurse educators count on reliable and valid information to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program. Thoughtful creation of evaluation tools that align to an educational taxonomy is an important step in order to obtain qualitative and quantitative data that informs the nurse educator about how well learners are performing. Communicating assessment and evaluation results to others, and gaining their input, provides the nurse educator the opportunity to make curricular improvements based on stakeholder feedback. Learners will evaluate assessment methods used to measure performance and improve educational programs, and develop a communication strategy to share results with stakeholders.
