Create a 1-2 page assessment description that includes the rationale for the chosen assessment strategy (Part One) and the related grading rubric (Part Two).
Introduction
Nurse educators need to be able to develop strategies within a course to verify that learners are successfully attaining competency with the material. While Assessment is sometimes used interchangeably with evaluation, there are differences. Nursing education requires a process of formally and objectively documenting that the student has successfully attained the knowledge, skills, attitudes, or beliefs to meet the course objectives and competencies. Rubrics are used in education to create a standardized way of evaluating performance.
Learning is considered a process and not just an event. In order to objectively measure learning, assessments and evaluations should be based on one or more of three domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Learning activities and evaluations should focus on one or more of these domains:
The cognitive domain deals with scholarly activities such as critical thinking, decision-making, and rational thought.
The psychomotor domain is part of learning physical skills, such as placing an intravenous catheter or performing a sterile technique.
The affective domain deals with attitudes, feelings, beliefs, and opinions, such as those related to health care.
Preparation
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
Which classroom assessment techniques (CATs) can be applied to the clinical and classroom setting?
How can the use of CAT in nursing education develop a deeper level of learning for the learner?
What are examples of the psychomotor domain?
What are examples of cognitive domain?
What are examples of the affective domain?
What are the key components of a rubric?
How can a nurse educator use a rubric for evaluating the learning outcomes of a course?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using rubrics in nursing education?
Select an assessment strategy for your learning objectives from Assessment 1. (Refer to feedback you received for Assessment 1.) What assignment would you give your learners, and how are you going to assess their performance?
Select one or more of your stated learning objectives and identify the specific domains (cognitive, psychomotor, or affective) that could be used to assess a learner’s demonstration of proficiency. While one assessment may not address all three domains, all three should be included in a course.
If the learning objective assesses the cognitive domain, what assessment tool would you use?
If the learning objective assesses the psychomotor domain, how will you test for proficiency?
If the learning objective assesses the affective domain, how will you know if the learner is proficient?
Consider the various processes that can be used for determining the validity and reliability of an assessment. It is more than just using the assessment tool, and there are several different mechanisms.
Think about how we validate information—with faculty and student surveys, peer review, a pilot grades/student progression, or anecdotal comments. For written exams, consider test item and content analysis.
Discuss development and administration of the exam or assessment tool.
Determine how grading expectations can be communicated to learners. It is important for learners to know what skills, knowledge, or attitudes are needed to be successful. Instructions must be clearly stated (and in more than one form).
Think in terms of how to explain the grading rubric, or a specific faculty expectation message from instructor to learner. Is this information in the syllabus, test blueprint, or course outline? This will help you create a description of the assessment.
To learn more about APA style and formatting, and to view a sample paper in APA format, go to the Capella Writing Center’s Evidence and APA page.
Part One – Assessment Description and Rationale
The real-world deliverable is a single document intended to be given to your work supervisor. The purpose of this document is to achieve two things:
An assessment description summarizes the big picture of the assessment and describes how a learner’s performance of the learning outcomes will be evaluated.
The rationale provides evidence-based support for your chosen assessment strategy.
You must complete the following in Part One:
Write a brief description of the assessment.
Describe the type of assessment tool that will be used to assess the learning objectives.
Identify the domains of learning the tool will evaluate.
Support your assessment strategy with an explanation of the processes that could be used to determine the validity and reliability of the assessment strategies chosen.
Part Two – Create a Grading Rubric
Create a grading rubric for your new assessment using a table format. Refer to the Rubric Template [DOCX] Download Rubric Template [DOCX].
Your rubric should clearly assess the learning objectives and have distinct levels of performance. For example, the scoring guides in your Capella assessments use the following performance levels. Although these will more often be used in a digital format, for the assessment, include the name of the course, the learner, faculty, and date.
Non-performance.
Basic.
Proficient.
Distinguished.
Note: Titles for performance levels can be whatever you deem appropriate to your specific learning environment. The four levels mentioned above are examples of possible performance-level language. You may use whatever terms fit the best in your setting.
Additional Requirements
Follow the formatting and style guidelines in Evidence and APA. In addition, your assessment should meet the following requirements:
APA format: Use correct APA style and formatting, paying particular attention to citations and references.
References: Include peer-reviewed scholarly resources from the last 5 years. If using websites, avoid advertisements.
Length: Assessment description and rationale should 1–2 double-spaced pages (not including cover page and reference list). Include grading rubric table in the same document and include the name of the course, faculty, learner, and date.
Font and font size: Any approved APA fonts, 12 point.
Competencies Measured
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:
Competency 1: Apply principles of assessment and evaluation for use in nursing education programs.
Describe processes that can be used for determining the validity and reliability of an exam, assessment, or tool.
Competency 2: Apply a variety of strategies to assess learning in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains.

Determine how grading expectations should be communicated to learners.
Competency 6: Communicate as a practitioner-scholar, consistent with the expectations for a health care professional.
Convey purpose of the assessment in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence using APA style citations and references, and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly communication standards.

Scholarship ESSAY . I already started it just need help formatting it so it can flow here is the question: Please tell us about yourself, such as your background, challenges, accomplishments, and goals. (A FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY) here is what I have so far: My name is Maria Dominguez . My mother′s side of the family has a genetic predisposition for cancer, so the thought of death has always been inevitable. Ultimately, numerous family cancer diagnoses have led me in and out of hospitals since the age of seven, and I saw four of my family members pass away in their hospital beds. My grandmother′s passing affected me the most; she was the one who took care of me the most until the age of sixteen. Her death unsettled my family and left us wondering when it would strike again. I knew our lives could change, and there was no time to waste. While my family members′ deaths were challenging experiences, they helped me discover a deep desire to make a difference in other people′s lives by pursuing a career in nursing. Being in a hospital so often in my youth, I saw a range in how nurses cared for their patients. I experienced seeing my grandma′s nurse say she was ″heavy″ and speak to her as if she were a child; they forgot that their patients are human beings, too. That is why I want to be an oncology nurse: it will allow me to provide care and comfort to patients based on my own experiences as a family member of a cancer patient. I want my patients to feel seen and heard, be empathetic and kind, and find dignity on even their worst days. Nursing is a career that involves caring for and witnessing individuals at their lowest points while helping them to improve their health. I will positively impact the world when I become a nurse, even if I have only made a difference for one patient. Each patient will remind me of my desire and kindness to help others. My recognition and credit will come from the patients and families when they return home in good health; then, I will know I have done my job well. So, as of fall 2019, life started to get more complicated. My dad had stopped financially supporting us, which was difficult because he was our primary source of income. My mom barely made one thousand five hundred dollars a month, so my uncle (my dad′s brother) was forced to pay for our portion of the rent. Due to financial struggles, I had to drop some classes for fall 2019 and spring 2020 because I had to work a part-time job to make money to support myself. A year later, in February 2021, our house foreclosed, and my dad took all the money he sold from the house and abandoned us. He left us with nothing: no car, furniture, a place to live, money, etc. It was a breaking point for us because my sister and I had to step up and become the men of the house. At the time, we stayed with our only cousin and worked three jobs to save as much money as possible to get our apartment. It was a constant cycle of trying to make ends meet every month. I had overcommitted myself to simply working and struggled with time management, which resulted in me failing a vital microbiology class. I did not have this same drive to succeed during my first four college years. However, at the beginning of 2022, despite the financial problems that my family and I have endured, I have decided to recommit myself to my education. I started by creating a weekly schedule by prioritizing essential tasks first, staying organized, and not procrastinating. After that, I was ready to retake microbiology and received an A in the course. I started to understand that the characteristics and behaviors in my personal life could also lead to success in my career. My personality is not only caring, but I also possess resilience and high academic performance, and I consistently live by the phrase, ″Procrastination is like a grave where opportunities are being buried.″ This phrase encouraged me to make the most of my time and maximize efficiency at any given instance. My hardships and failures have equipped me to handle stress effectively, and my abilities can withstand the demanding and high-pressure nature of nursing. It has also taught me the true meaning of perseverance, hard work, flexibility, and resilience. It allowed me to grow, learn from my mistakes, and succeed simultaneously. Also, the most important thing is that these failures and hardships don’t define me; it′s how I handle and interpret it. use all of these sentences but just make it flow more. Also for my goals you can state after I get my BSN I will want to work on my MSN (master of science in nursing ) I come from a small family as well.

The PMHNP role has the theoretical orientation, education, and scope to be an effective provider of child and adolescent mental health services. The American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) takes the policy position that psychiatric nurses should be considered members of the primary care workforce; this is in contrast to the traditional medical model, which positions mental health care as a specialty discipline. The responsibilities of the PMHNP role are founded on the nursing process and therapeutic relationship and include: educating patients and families; diagnosing, treating, and managing acute illness; providing psychotherapy; prescribing medication for acute and chronic illness; diagnosing, treating, and managing acute illness; providing care coordination; making referrals; ordering, performing, and interpreting lab tests, diagnostic studies; and providing preventative care including screening (APNA, 2019). As you read the excerpt, please tell us?
What makes you decide to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner?
What are the values that may help you develop that role?
What is your plan to develop the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary for advance practice?
