NR523 Assessment and Evaluation Techniques in Education

Week 3 Quiz  

Question 1(TCO 1) Your colleague is upset with students because they didn’t complete their readings for today’s lesson. The colleague says, “I am going to surprise them with a pop quiz tomorrow.”

“I am going to report you to the Dean if you do that. You’re going to get us a bad reputation!”

“From what I understand about the purpose of a Syllabus, you cannot add a new expectation in the middle of a course.”

“I wish I could do that, but I am afraid that I will get too many complaints.”

“That’s a good idea because it will get their attention. I think they are getting a little complacent.”

 Question 2(TCOs 2 and 3) Your Curriculum Committee members are anxious to incorporate critical thinking into the curriculum. What is the most foundational action you can pursue to meet this goal?

Teach students to go online to find rationales for nursing interventions before providing care.

Make sure that all simulations in the curriculum require students to complete a comprehensive care plan.

Use Socratic questioning to make sure students are understanding the assessment parameter, risk factors, and rationale for nursing interventions.

Evaluate whether your learning outcomes are increasingly complex as students progress from Week 1 to Week 4.

 Question 3(TCO 1) Your Dean has asked faculty members to suggest community members who are qualified to serve on the college’s advisory committee. The following people come to mind. What type of person would you exclude from the committee?

A nurse executive from a local hospital who is an alumnus of the school

The physical therapist who owns a local home healthcare company

A retired nurse who happens to be married to a physician

The physician who is in charge of the local public health department

 Question 4 TCO 3) The faculty meet to prepare for an impending nursing school reaccreditation. The Dean challenges them: “We need to be able to demonstrate whether students have met our program outcomes. What do you suggest?” Which response is the best stance for you to take?

 “All they need to do is look at our grades. If they pass the course, they have met program outcomes.”

“Ideally, we should apply rubrics related to each learning outcome to samples of student work, because this is a more direct method.”

“How about having students rate how well they think we are meeting program outcomes?”

“I think we should ask the alumni to rate how well we are meeting program outcomes.”

 Question 5(TCO 1) You are having a very busy semester and decide to use an exam you used 2 years ago to save time. The downside is that you didn’t get around to evaluating the items on the test, but you think they were pretty good questions. What would make you pause before carrying out this plan?

Maybe the questions were remembered and passed on by the students who first took the exam.

Old examinations should be evaluated to make sure that the test questions are reliable and valid.

No one complained about the exam the first time, so it is probably okay to use it again.

Asking another faculty member to review the test will help me ensure that the proper content is covered.
