Use Assessment and Evaluation Strategies
(Core Competency 3):
Innovative Strategies to Evaluate Learning
Outcomes
As learners, learning environments, and teaching methods evolve, nurse educators must reconsider how to effectively evaluate the achievement of learning outcomes. Traditionally, multiple-choice examinations have been the primary means of assessing cognitive nursing knowledge in pre-licensure programs. Innovative nursing education requires the evaluation of interactive learning as well as higher level thinking. Journaling, critiquing, portfolios, concept mapping, simulations, video and audio taping can help assess various learning domains, critical thinking, and assist in providing a complete picture of learners' abilities. This program will help educators utilize these various evaluation strategies while maintaining sight of meeting an essential outcome of a pre-licensure nursing program - NCLEX® success!
