Promoting Fair Evaluation of Learning During Clinical Simulation: Knowing Yourself, Your Team, and Your Tool

Background

Assessment of student clinical performance is a core nurse educator responsibility, yet there are myriad challenges associated with these assessments during high-stakes simulation and clinical testing.

Methods

This mixed methods study was a component of a larger study investigating the impact of faculty personality characteristics on reliability when evaluating student performance during simulation. Nurse educator participants reviewed their individual CliftonStrengths Assessment data prior to reflecting on open-ended and Likert-type scale questions.

Results

Data analysis resulted in three themes that promote fair student evaluation: Knowing Yourself; Knowing Your Tool; Knowing Your Team.

Conclusions

To promote the integrity of student evaluation in simulation and clinical testing environments, knowing one's strengths and how they affect student assessment is paramount; development of a shared mental model of tools used to rate student performance is key; and critical team conversations are essential to understanding and leveraging varying nurse educator strengths influencing the assessment process.
