Practice Experience: Applying Measurement Tools to a Practice Problem

/in /by

Conduct a collaboration interview with two or three key leaders in your practice setting to determine the measures for your practice problem and associated challenges impacting measurement for your practice problem (include confidentiality, anonymity, access issues, etc.). Perform an existing evidence review on your practice problem ( Safety related to Falls in Hospice Home bound patients) and search for evidence that demonstrates how your practice problem is measured across the country.

Post a description of the measures identified from the interviews, the challenges to obtaining the data that were discussed, and a summary of how this quality indicator is measured in the literature. Discuss any gaps in the data that were identified and additional sources that might be needed to obtain this data. Be sure to support your practice problem with the literature that indicates the relevance of this problem for nursing practice. Provide evidence from practice and data that is available.

Creation of Formative Assessments

[WLO: 2] [CLOs: 1, 5]

In Week 1, you selected a standard for your unit plan along with three measurable learning objectives. This is the first step in creating any type of lesson or unit plan as we must know what knowledge we want our learners to acquire. Since we are following the backward design model for developing lesson plans, the next thing is to create our assessments; the evidence that will let us know our learners are acquiring the knowledge.

Prepare

Prior to beginning work on this assignment,

Reflect

Consider how you might formatively assess learners before, during, and after a lesson.

Content Instructions (Due Monday, Day 7)

Complete the following:

  • Fill out the Week 2 Creation of Formative Assessment Assignment Template.
  • Include your standard and three measurable learning objectives in this document.
  • Create three different ways you might formatively assess your learners during your instructional plan. Provide a description of each of the assessments and how each one helps you in measuring the progress of your learners mastering the learning objectives. This explanation will show alignment between your standards and objectives and your formative assessments. Use evidence from your readings to support your ideas.
  • Integrate the use of technology with at least one of your formative assessments.

Writing and Formatting Expectations

Your Creation of Formative Assessment assignment

  • Must be two to three double-spaced pages in length (does not include the title or reference page).
