SON faculty member Marilyn Oermann published the third edition of her book this month. The book, titled “Evaluation and Testing in Nursing Education,” was released on Friday, May 15.
All teachers at some time need to assess learning. The teacher may write test items, prepare tests and analyze their results, develop rating scales and clinical evaluation methods, and plan other strategies for assessing learning in the classroom, clinical practice, online courses, and other settings. Often teachers are not prepared to carry out these tasks as part of their instructional role. This edition of “Evaluation and Testing in Nursing Education” is a resource for teachers in nursing education programs and healthcare agencies, a textbook for graduate students preparing for their role as a nurse educator and a guide for nurses in clinical practice who teach others and are responsible for evaluating their learning and performance.
