The ASSURE Model
This step occurs when the educator evaluates the impact on student learning and the effectiveness of the chosen media after the lesson.
Step 6: Evaluate & Revise
This refers to how Assessment is becoming a shared responsibility through self and peer evaluation, using evidence triangulation from multiple sources like digital portfolios and automated data to create a holistic view of progress.
Student Agency & Triangulation
A characteristic of an effective Assessment Tool in which the results must be truthful, dependable, and consistent over time to inform decision-making for student improvement.
Accuracy & Utility
This is a benefit of using ICT in which high-fidelity simulations (HFS) and virtual reality (VR) provide a low-stakes environment. This allows students to develop muscle memory and clinical judgment without the ethical risk of patient harm.
Enhanced Learning & Simulation
A challenge in ICT implementation that occurs when Faculty members, particularly senior staff, may be reluctant to move away from traditional teaching methods, fearing that technology distances the nurse from the patient.
Resistance to Change
This method can be used to create learning objectives.
ABCD Method
This trend refers to how Technology now acts as the assessor through adaptive testing and game-based simulations, collecting data on student strategy and persistence without inducing traditional test anxiety
Technology-Enabled "Stealth" Assessment
An assessment tool which uses diagramming technique to assess a student's ability to see the "big picture" and understand relationships between concepts.
Concept Maps
A benefit of ICT in which online platforms and mobile apps use gamification (leaderboards, badges, points, and interactive cases) to increase time spent on tasks, which is a known predictor of academic success.
Flexibility and Engagement
A challenge in ICT implementation which occurs when the sheer volume of digital data can lead to information anxiety, where both students and teachers feel overwhelmed by the pace of technological change.
Information Overload.
Based on the sample learning plan, who were the target audience/learners?
BSN Level III students
This trend refers to how Assessments now emphasize competencies that are difficult to measure, including cognitive skills like critical thinking, social-emotional skills like collaboration, and global digital literacy
Measuring Invisible Skills
An assessment tool used to identify the presence or absence of specific behaviors or to assess the quality and frequency of performance tasks.
Checklists & Rating Scales
A benefit of ICT in which the ability to search digital records and use automated calculators (e.g. IV drip rate or medication dose calculators) reduces the cognitive load on the student, allowing them to focus on the patient's holistic needs
Increased Efficiency (Data Management)
A challenge in ICT implementation which occurs when slow internet speeds or unreliable electricity in many regions can disrupt online assessments and virtual simulations.
Connectivity & Infrastructure
Based on the sample learning plan, this method was utilized by the educator to PREPARE THE ENVIRONMENT.
Set up virtual breakout rooms and ensure stable connectivity.
Explain how the Assessments in Learning trends now places emphasis on Authentic & Performance-Based Tasks.
Educators are moving away from multiple-choice tests toward real-world contexts that prioritize the learning process over the final product
Compare and contrast ConcepTests from Multiple-Choice Questions.
ConcepTests
Goal: FormativeAssessment of learning/understanding
Social Aspect: Built for peer collaboration and debate
Feedback: Immediate Feedback through peer debate. If the class is split on an answer, the teacher stops the lecture to fix the confusion immediately.
Distractors: Based on common student mistakes.
Multiple-Choice Questions
Goal: Summative Assessment (usually used in Grading)
Social Aspect: Individual/Solo
Feedback: Right/Wrong at the end
Distractors: Often random or fill-in wrong answers.
Describe how ICT improves access to information.
ICT streamlines the administrative and logistical systems of education, from automated grading to attendance tracking. Teachers can shift their focus from administrative work to high-value interactions with students. Furthermore, Learning Analytics allow schools to identify at-risk students much earlier than traditional methods allow
The initial investment for high-fidelity simulation labs, VR headsets, and site-wide software licenses (like EHR simulators) is often prohibitive for many institutions.
Based on the sample learning plan, this method was used by the educator in providing immediate digital reinforcement for correct techniques or guidance for errors.
Feedback/Immediate Feedback
Describe the Assessment in Learning trend about "From Summative to Formative Focus"
There is a significant shift from summative assessment toward formative assessment to provide real-time feedback, allowing students to adjust strategies during the learning process rather than just at the end
Provide at least 3 examples/scenarios where you, as an educator, apply RUBRICS assessment in learning.
Examples:
Role-play & Oral Presentations
Reflective Journaling
Essays & Research papers
Simulations
Collaborative Group Projects
Explain how ICT enhances Critical Thinking and Collaboration
ICT tools like discussion boards, shared Google Docs, and Microsoft Teams foster interprofessional education, where nursing, medical, and other allied health sciences students collaborate on a single digital patient case.
Explain how Increased Workload could be a challenge in ICT implementation.
Educators face a heavy burden when they must learn new software while simultaneously redesigning their lesson plans to fit models like ASSURE.
