Summary
Responsive student evaluation principles were partially realized in Finnish nursing education. While students were goal-oriented, this did not correlate with grades, and their role in theoretical learning evaluation was limited.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Psychology
Context:
- Finnish professional nursing education in the late 1980s.
- Implementation of responsive student evaluation principles.
Purpose:
- To describe the realization of responsive student evaluation principles from nursing students' perspectives.
- To assess goal orientation and critical attitude in student evaluations.
Summary:
- A questionnaire survey of 379 final-year nursing students in 1990 indicated partial implementation.
- Students were generally aware of curriculum goals, but goal orientation did not correlate with certification grades.
- Student evaluation was more prominent in clinical practice than in theoretical classroom learning.
Impact:
- Suggests that responsive student evaluation principles were only partly realized in Finnish nursing education.
- Highlights a disconnect between goal orientation and academic achievement.
- Indicates a need for enhanced student involvement in evaluating theoretical learning.
