NU 643 - Assessment and Evaluation in Nursing & Healthcare Education

This course examines the role of formative and summative assessment and evaluation of learning in nursing education, both in the classroom and clinical setting. Best practice evidence and teaching-learning theory is examined and applied to the concept of learner-centered assessment and evaluation. Students will create measurable learning outcomes and formulate assessment and evaluation methods congruent with the designed outcomes. Designed assessment and evaluation methods will be examined for validity and reliability using psychometric methods. Leveling of assessment and evaluation based on the learning needs of the student will be discussed. During this course, students will examine privacy rights of the learner as defined by federal legislation, and apply this to current practice.
