Assessment Strategies
Assessment Description
Assessments provide feedback on learner knowledge, performance, and needs. They also inform the instructor on whether learning outcomes are being met. It is important for the nurse educator to consider that there is a variety of ways in which learning can be evaluated. Learning should be assessed throughout the learning process and at the end of the learning process. Instructors must determine what evidence indicates that learning has occurred.
The purpose of this assignment is to choose assessment strategies based on evidence-based practices. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation (10-15 slides) reflecting on five assessment strategies, both formative and summative. Each slide should include speaker notes. In your PowerPoint presentation, address the following:
Provide a detailed description differentiating summative and formative assessment strategies.
Explain the purpose of each strategy, either formative or summative.
List two advantages and two disadvantages of each strategy.
Explain how the assessment strategy would vary in different settings for each strategy. Include examples of two different settings (clinical, lab, or classroom) and explain how you would change the assessment based on the setting.
Include evidence-based sources for each strategy. Sources used should be within five years.
