Student assessment in basic nursing education in Scotland
Abstract:
This paper presents some of the findings of a 4-year-study of the examination system for student nurses entering basic nursing courses offered by all Colleges of Nursing and Midwifery in Scotland. These modular courses, first implemented in 1982, involve students in a series of internal (college) assessments and two external (national) examinations. Results for 2742 students on 16,764 written assessments were analysed. The hypotheses that there would be high correlation between different modular results in internal assessments, and between results in internal assessments and external examinations were not supported. Implications for possible changes in the examination system are discussed.
