Video as a Strategy to Evaluate and Assist Clinical Teachers With Student Assessment

Abstract

The assessment of the clinical competence of nursing students requires expertise in nursing as well as skills in student assessment. The development of these student assessment skills is dependent on the preparation of the clinical teacher. The results of this pilot study indicate that video can be one successful tool in evaluating the assessment skills of clinical teachers. Video also may be useful as a staff development tool by providing a nonthreatening way for clinical teachers to familiarize themselves with clinical assessment. In turn, this will have benefits for universities and students by ensuring consistency of clinical assessment by clinical teachers.

Observation of interprofessional collaborative practice in primary care teams: An integrative literature review

“…Information about recording methods was also lacking. Field note rigour was rarely mentioned, and no study described video or audio recording of 'real time' observation -a recording method potentially allowing more in-depth analysis than is possible using field notes alone (Kevin et al, 2007;Latvala et al, 2000). There was insufficient subsequent detail in any paper to be confident about findings being attributable to the direct observation data independent of non-observation data.…”
