Conditional Process Analysis for Nursing Education Researchers

Nurse faculty need methodologically rigorous yet accessible techniques to evaluate the impact of their teaching strategies and build a strong body of evidence in nursing education science. Conditional process analysis is one such technique that allows researchers to include multiple variables in a single model to disentangle complex influences that instructional processes, student characteristics, and classroom variables have on learning outcomes. Researchers are encouraged to consider conditional process analysis to test and explain the effects of their educational strategies. Practical tools and resources are described that make conditional process analysis feasible for faculty with a basic understanding of statistical methods. [.
