Background
Faculty in a prelicensure baccalaureate nursing program were interested in establishing a process for use of simulation for the evaluation of program outcomes.
Problem
Several infrastructure barriers existed for the implementation of simulation for a fair, valid, and reliable student evaluation.
Approach
Faculty chose to evaluate student performance in simulation to examine student achievement of program outcomes.
Conclusions
The project informed curricular decisions moving forward, helped faculty to standardize scenarios, and outlined a process of establishing validity and reliability that could be implemented in the future for student evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
