Colleges saw fewer electronic course evaluations completed. A gainsharing incentive, offering a grade boost, encouraged nursing students to complete these evaluations, with the study examining the impact on grades.
Area of Science:
- Educational technology adoption
- Higher education assessment strategies
Background:
- Electronic course evaluations have led to reduced completion rates in higher education.
- Gainsharing, a motivational strategy used in healthcare, offers a potential solution.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the application of gainsharing as an incentive for electronic course evaluation completion among nursing students.
- To analyze the effect of a grade-based incentive on student participation in end-of-course evaluations.
Main Methods:
- Descriptive analysis of gainsharing implementation.
- Examination of student grade data in relation to evaluation completion.
Main Results:
- The study details how gainsharing was adapted to incentivize electronic evaluation submission.
- Analysis of the correlation between the incentive and student grade outcomes is presented.
Conclusions:
- Gainsharing can be a viable strategy to increase electronic course evaluation completion rates.
- Incentivizing evaluations through grade benefits may positively influence student engagement and outcomes.
