Background:
Educators look for practical and engaging classroom assessment techniques (CATs) to enhance the learning experience.
Problem:
Many CATs are individual activities that only engage learners at lower levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. The Five-Minute Peer Writing Activity (FMPWA) was developed to address this problem. This study compared student grades, engagement, and satisfaction between the FMPWA and One-Minute Paper (OMP) CAT and the effectiveness and acceptability of the FMPWA among nurse educators.
Approach:
Nursing students completed the OMP and FMPWA and rated both by engagement and satisfaction. Nurse educators attending conference workshops experienced the OMP and FMPWA and had the opportunity to complete a short survey.
Outcomes:
This innovative CAT showed a statistically significant increase in student grades, engagement, and satisfaction scores. Educators reported higher engagement, satisfaction, and likelihood of trying the FMPWA.
Conclusions:
The FMPWA is an effective strategy to engage nursing students in the classroom.
