Assessment of Learning Outcomes
During a test review, the educator notices the class is restless and sneaking looks at their phones. The educator uses this taxonomic level to instruct the students to write and share two test questions each as part of a test review.
What is creating?
A nursing program faculty is comparing two different curricula for a future class. They perform this task as they determine the quality of the teaching materials, and track the learning outcomes of past student groups (Oermann & Gaberson, 2021, p.3)
What is assessment?
In the design phase of a new course, these broad statements describe expected student learning.
What are learning outcomes?
This valuable tool, developed in 1956, described the different levels of learning - from simple to complex.
Bloom's Taxonomy
Receiving, Responding, Valuing, Organization, and Characterization by a Value
What are the five levels of Affective Domain?
The levels that include imitation, manipulation, precision, articulation, and naturalization
What are the five levels of psychomotor skill?
A clinical instructor uses this learning domain while teaching a skills lab to a group of J2 nursing students.
What is psychomotor domain?
A nursing educator uses this framework to plan instruction and design assessment strategies at various levels of learning.
What are Taxonomies?
A nursing educator sets this timeline to determine when the learning outcome of a short module is expected to be achieved.
What is by the end of instruction?
Nursing educators realize that these high-level cognitive thinking skills are of crucial importance to student nurses as they learn to incorporate disparate pieces of knowledge into comprehensive patient care.
What is critical thinking and critical reasoning?
The development of a complex of system of values which create a value system.
What is organization?
Worldwide, people use this simplest form of psychomotor skill while playing the game of Peekaboo I See You with their infant family members.
What is imitation?
This teaching concept is reflective of current nursing practice by consulting evidence-based teaching strategies, welcoming student input, and not what the faculty thinks the students should learn.
What is student-based learning?
A clinical instructor uses this evaluation method to judge the weekly progress of a student group in meeting their learning outcomes during a semester-long hospital clinical rotation.
What is formative evaluation?
Stating learning outcomes provides guidelines.
What is instruction and assessment?
The use of continuum to use in planning and assessing learning outcomes
What does the cognitive taxonomy provide educators?
The student’s knowledge of the values, attitudes, and beliefs that are important in guiding decisions in nursing.
What is the first dimension of affective domains?
The highest degree of proficiency and integration of skill within care
What is naturalization?
A group of nurse educators are meeting to go over test scores after a recent exam. They use this measurement method to compare current student test scores to past student efforts.
What is reliability?
An instructor designates this mental process as a desired outcome when designing case studies to assess the clinical knowledge and decision-making skills for J2 students finishing their first clinical rotation.
What is critical thinking?
Objectives are less restrictive and open ended
How do learning outcomes differ from objectives?
The levels of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
What are the six levels of cognitive learning?
When students have accepted these values, attitudes, and beliefs and are internalizing them for their own decision-making and behavior.
What is the second dimension?
The activities that are movement oriented, requiring some degree of physical coordination
What is the focus of the psychomotor domain?
This measurement tool determines the degree to which tests reflect the accurate interpretation of student knowledge based on their assessment scores.
What is validation?
A nursing educator is using what measurement method to determine the degree of which the end-of-semester final exams reflect the accurate interpretations of the students' knowledge based on their assessment scores.
What is validation?
Various activities such as lecture, case scenario, simulation, clinical settings, or group work.
What are ways that outcomes be met and evaluated?
The most complex cognitive learning level requiring judgment from varied criteria.
What is evaluation?
The usage of variety of tests and assessment methods
What is the evaluation method of the first dimension?
The cognitive, associative, and autonomous phases
What are the three phases of learning in psychomotor domain?
