MSN ED C921 - Assessment and Evaluation Strategies for Measuring Student Learning Assessment Blueprints Section A: Formative Assessment Blueprint Criteria Task TASK A A1. Assessment overview (type, pu... rpose, and expected outcomes of the assessment) Type: Online discussion board. A formative assessment will be utilized to evaluate the learner’s comprehension of current course content. The type of assessment that will be performed is an online discussion board where learners will answer three questions regarding their knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the community and public health nurse, and the relationships among them. Purpose. The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate each learner’s working body of knowledge related to the roles and responsibilities of the community and public health nurse, in addition to their respective relationship to population-focused care. Expected Outcome. It is expected that learners will be able to distinguish the roles and responsibilities of the community and public health nurses and differentiate between the community and public health nurse within the complex health care system. It is expected that learners will also be able to interpret and clearly articulate their findings in a scholarly manner via the discussion board. A2. Module title (C920 material) Introduction to Community and Public Health Nursing Course objectives (C920 material) Throughout this module, learners will have the opportunity to: 1. Examine the evolving roles and responsibilities of the community and public health nurse. 2. Analyze the difference between community health nursing and public health nursing. 3. Analyze population-based, or population-focused care in community and public health nursing according to the standards of care and scope of practice for each. Student learning outcomes (C920 material) Upon successful completion of this module, learners will be able to: 1. Distinguish the roles and responsibilities of the community and public health nurse within the complex health care system and policies. 2. Differentiate between community health nursing and public health nursing. A2a. Assessment Activity Alignment (i.e. align your selected assessment activity with course objective and student learning outcomes) Course Objectives 1-3. The formative assessment aligns well with each objective because formative assessments require learners to recall information to demonstrate comprehension of the material presented. The formative assessment will encourage a higher order thinking by the end of the course through the utilization of a discussion board by first examining the roles and responsibilities of the community and public health nurse in population-focused care, then analyzing the similarities and differences between the two. The discussion board encourages critical thinking and will help learners organize and interpret the information presented, and also encourage dialogue with their peers to obtain different points of view related to the topic. Student Learning Outcomes 1-2. The formative assessment aligns well with each student learning outcome because formative assessments via an online discussion board allows learners to demonstrate competency and an understanding of course material. Learners will recall the information and demonstrate an understanding of it on the discussion board. Each individual response will depict the roles and responsibilities of the community and public health nurse and the differentiating factors between the two. A3. Cognitive level to be measured by the formative assessment Analysis. The cognitive level that will be measured by the formative assessment is analysis. Learners will demonstrate a competency in the cognitive level of analysis by interpreting the information provided and organizing the ideas into a useful and meaningful working body of knowledge by differentiating between the community and public health nurse roles and responsibilities, then articulating their responses on the discussion board. A4. Item Types (i.e. multiple-choice items, fill in the blanks, etc.) Constructed Response/Discussion Board. The item type chosen for this formative assessment is a constructed response via an online discussion board. As previously discussed, an online discussion board will be used to assist learners in interpreting, translating, and organizing the information [Show More]
