A Systematic Process for Evaluating Teaching Methods in Nursing Education

Abstract

Background An evidence-based process for the evaluation of teaching methods in nursing education, including classroom assignments, is not well described in the literature. Problem Nurse educators are familiar with evidence-based teaching but may be less knowledgeable about evidence-based methodologies to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching methods. Global measures of students' success, such as passing a licensing or certification examination, are often used as benchmarks for nursing education programs. Approach The authors suggest an evidence-based, 8-step evaluation process for evaluating the effectiveness of teaching methods. This process is demonstrated using simulation learning experiences in 2 courses in an advanced practice nursing education program. Outcomes The 8-step evaluation process was found to be effective for evaluating teaching methods within a graduate-level nursing education program. Conclusions The proposed evaluation process is applicable for evaluating teaching methods at all levels of nursing education. This systematic evaluation of teaching methods may ensure that students are engaged in learning activities leading to the attainment of assignment and course objectives.

A Survey of Norwegian Nursing Students’ Responses to Student-Centered Small Group Learning in the Study of Human Anatomy and Physiology

“…Evaluating learning/teaching approaches employed in nursing education is important for the improvement of learning outcomes (Thrower et al, 2020). Although a benefit of SGL has been clearly demonstrated in pedagogical studies of bioscience subjects (Burgess et al, 2020; Cunningham & Zlotos, 2019; de Moura Villela et al, 2020; Grijpma et al, 2020; Stewart & Cunningham, 2020), concerns many publications on SGL put too much emphasis on the role of the teacher (mentor) and did not put enough emphasis on the response of the students (Edmunds & Brown, 2010; Mills & Alexander, 2013; Parmelee, 2011; Roberts, 2010).…”

The satisfaction of the undergraduate nursing classroom teaching quality based on the Kano model in China

“…Effectively put the quality of talent training in the first place, continuously improve the quality of teaching, and improve student satisfaction. 30 At the same time, nursing educators must constantly adjust and evaluate their teaching methods to ensure that every teaching method used in the nursing curriculum promotes higher level learning, critical thinking skills, and practical application of knowledge, 31 in order to continuously improve the quality of undergraduate nursing talent training. Some studies have also shown that student-centered teaching strategies can enhance patient safety skill competence in the clinical setting.…”
