Conditions

Formative Evaluation, Nursing Skill

Brief summary

In nursing education, the course where students encounter these gains for the first time and which forms the basis for other professional courses is generally the Nursing Fundamentals Course. In order to develop psychomotor skills within the scope of the Nursing Fundamentals Course, models are used to include practical studies in skill laboratories after the theoretical explanation of the course. Formative evaluation, one of the evaluation methods, is a process that provides clear feedback in teaching, regulates learning, and aims to improve the student's success in the educational outcome. The main purpose here is to review the learning and teaching process. Efforts are made to obtain feedback on situations that are disrupted in the learning-teaching process, incomplete learning, difficulties in learning, and situations in which improvement is needed. The feedback obtained in this evaluation is developmental for both the student and the instructor. Therefore, formative assessment is one of the important elements of reflective learning and teaching. With this research, students will be evaluated with a standard exam to determine whether they have achieved the expected proficiency levels in their knowledge and skills and whether the educational program has achieved its goals. This exam aims to measure students' self-efficacy by creating an example that can be used in other education and training institutions. Students will be assigned to experimental and control groups by random route sampling method according to their internship locations. A survey and a check-list for each nursing skill practice will be used in the research. Self-Efficacy Survey in the Most Commonly Used Skill-Requiring Practices in Nursing; It will consist of 4 questions containing personal information and 6 questions listing nursing skills determined in line with the literature. Additionally, a check-list will be prepared for 6 nursing skills.

Interventions

OTHERformative evaluation

Before the skills exam, the 'Self-Efficacy Survey in the Most Commonly Used Skill-Requiring Practices in Nursing' will be administered. Apart from the end-of-term skill exam, students will be given a different skill exam than the control group, in which they will not receive any grades. For applications requiring invasive interventions, a skill test will be administered in the laboratory. For applications that do not require invasive intervention, a skill test will be administered in the clinical environment. At the end of the semester, students will be asked to fill out the 'Self-Efficacy Survey in Practices Requiring the Most Commonly Used Skills in Nursing'. At the end of the semester, students will be evaluated with 2 skill applications and skill exam scores to be selected by written exam and lottery method
