Summary
A new rubric helps health professions education (HPE) instructors evaluate online teaching effectiveness. Developed using learning principles, it addresses interactivity, assessment, and ethics in synchronous online settings.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Online Learning Pedagogy
- Instructional Design
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of synchronous online teaching in health professions education (HPE).
- Educators require effective tools to assess the quality of online teaching in HPE.
- Existing evaluation methods may not adequately address the unique aspects of online HPE.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a rubric for evaluating synchronous online teaching effectiveness in health professions education.
- To align the rubric with established instructional design and multimedia learning principles.
- To ensure the rubric is tailored to the specific needs and contexts of HPE.
Main Methods:
- Development of a rubric based on instructional design and multimedia learning principles.
- Customization of the rubric for the health professions education context.
- Initial item analysis to assess the rubric's reliability and validity.
Main Results:
- The developed rubric demonstrates reliability in evaluating online teaching.
- The rubric is well-suited for the unique environment of health professions education.
- The rubric incorporates key effective teaching practices such as interactivity, assessment, and ethical considerations.
Conclusions:
- The new rubric provides a reliable tool for assessing synchronous online teaching in HPE.
- The rubric's alignment with learning principles and practical considerations supports its application.
- Further research and application of the rubric are recommended for enhancing online HPE quality.

1.9K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

3.6K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
