Because much of a nurse's work is accomplished through working in groups, nursing students need an understanding of group process as well as opportunities to problem-solve in groups. Despite an emphasis on group activities as critical for classroom learning, there is a lack of evidence in the nursing literature that describes collaborative essay testing as a teaching strategy. In this class, nursing students worked together in small groups to answer examination questions before submitting a common set of answers. In a follow-up survey, students reported that collaborative testing was a positive experience (e.g., promoting critical thinking, confidence in knowledge, and teamwork). Faculty were excited by the lively dialog heard during the testing in what appeared to be an atmosphere of teamwork. Future efforts could include providing nursing students with direct instruction on group process and more opportunities to work and test collaboratively.
由于护士的许多工作是通过团队合作完成的，护理专业学生需要了解团队协作过程，也需要有在团队中解决问题的机会。尽管强调团队活动对课堂学习至关重要，但护理文献中缺乏将协作式论文测试作为一种教学策略的相关证据。在这门课程中，护理专业学生分成小组共同回答考试问题，然后提交一套共同的答案。在后续调查中，学生们表示协作式测试是一次积极的体验（例如，促进批判性思维、增强对知识的信心以及团队合作）。教师们对测试期间听到的热烈讨论感到兴奋，这似乎营造了一种团队合作的氛围。未来的努力可以包括为护理专业学生提供关于团队协作过程的直接指导，以及更多合作学习和测试的机会。
