There has been a growing interest in the use of portfolios to assess nursing student progress in areas such as critical thinking, problem solving, and communication. The data obtained from student portfolios can be used to improve undergraduate nursing curricula; however in order for change to occur, closing the assessment feedback loop is essential. The portfolio program of one Midwestern school of nursing has successfully used portfolio evidence to effect undergraduate curricular change. This portfolio program, under the direction of the school's Portfolio Subcommittee, involves active participation by students, faculty and administration. Examples of curricular improvements based on portfolio findings included increasing rigor in course assignments, improving student self reflection, promoting students' ability to write in the discipline, and maintaining writing assignments in larger classes.
人们越来越关注使用档案袋来评估护理专业学生在批判性思维、问题解决和沟通等方面的进步。从学生档案袋中获得的数据可用于改进本科护理课程;然而,为了实现变革,闭合评估反馈循环至关重要。一所中西部护理学院的档案袋项目已成功利用档案袋证据推动本科课程变革。这个档案袋项目在学校档案袋小组委员会的指导下,让学生、教师和管理人员都积极参与其中。基于档案袋调查结果进行课程改进的例子包括提高课程作业的难度、增强学生的自我反思、提升学生在该学科领域的写作能力,以及在大班中保留写作作业。
