learner progress

1. Prepared by : Daisy Jane Aniasco

2. Learners in the clinical areas
need the feedback and
judgment of their work that
evaluation gives them. They
need to know how they are
doing at one level before
progressing to the next.
Choices to be made regarding
evaluation;

3. Formative or summative evaluation.
Norm referenced or criterion reference.
Type of grading system used.
Behavior should be used.
CHOICES TO BE MADE
REGARDING EVALUATION

4. 1.A) FORMATIVE EVALUATION
 Is the ongoing feedback given to the learner
throughout the learning experience. This
evaluation helps the learner identify strengths
and weaknesses and meet the learning objectives
efficiently. It prevent learner surprise at the end
of the learning experience about their
performance for which they were not prepared.
Formative evaluation may be graded or not
graded. Formative evaluation may be given
orally or written. Written evaluation called
anecdotal note.

5. 1.B) SUMMATIVE EVALUATION
 is a summary evaluation given at the bend of the
learning experience. The purpose to assess whether
the learner has achieved the objectives and is ready
to move to another objectives. Summative
evaluation results in a grade. Clinical evaluation in
nursing always using this type. It may also include
formative evaluation whether it is formally or in
informally.

6. 2.A) NORM REFERENCED
EVALUATION
 a learner compared with a reference group of
learners, either those in the same cohort or in a
norm group. An evaluation process in which a
students behavior is characterized as "below
average", "average", or" above average" or in which
grades are distributed on a normal curve is norm
referenced.

7. 2.B) CRITERION REFERENCED
EVALUATION
 Is that which compares the learner to well-
defined performance criteria rather than
comparing him or her to other learners. Many
educators believe criterion-referenced evaluation
to b fairer that norm- referenced evaluation.

8. 3.A ) GRADING SYSTEM
 The two most common options for grading are
assigning letter grades and a using a pass /fail
or satisfactory/ unsatisfactory approach. Many
educational institutions require that letter
grades be given in all courses, so faculty are
forced to arrive at a letter grades whether they
are using norm-referenced or criterion-
referenced methods.

9. 4.A) BEHAVIORS TO BE
EVALUATED
Educators must decide which general areas and
which specific behaviors should be observed
and evaluated. The following areas of
performance are usually evaluated:
Use of the nursing process.
Use of health promoting strategies.
Psychomotor skills.
Maintain patient safety.
Therapeutic communication

10. SOURCES OF EVALUATION DATA
Direct observation by instructors produce most of
the data.
Patient perception towards the behaviors of
nurses.
Learner self evaluation.
From agency staff.
Written work such as nursing care plan, problem
solving, critical thinking paper.

11. CONFERENCES
BETWEEN
EDUCATOR AND LEARNER
The evaluation results should be shared with
the learner. Conference should be held at the
half way through and the end of the
evaluation period. Positive feedback must be
given along with the negative.

12. CLINICAL EVALUATION TOOLS
It should meet the following specification:
The items should derive from the course or unit
objectives.
The items must measurable in some way. It must
be possible to collect substantiating data.
The items and instructions for use should be
clear to all that must use the tool.
The tool should be practical in design and
length.
The tool must be valid and reliable.
