NR 537 Assessment And Evaluation In Education

Week 7 Discussion: Collaboration Café

You are responsible for the skills laboratory (either for mentoring a small group of new nurses or senior nursing students), and it is time for check-offs. You prepared four different scenarios, each requiring different nursing skills. You provided the learners with a basic overview of each scenario. The day before the check-off, you select the one scenario that will be used for the check-off, and prepare the skills laboratory. During the check-off, you are repeatedly amazed at how well-prepared the learners are. The next day, after the check-off, one of the learners comes to your office and asks to speak to you. During the conversation, she identifies that another learner had correctly found out which scenario was going to be used during the check-off and told everyone in the group. She refuses to identify the other learner who found out the information. What would be your course of action?

In this case, as the teacher, I would consult the student handbook to learn more about the Academic Integrity Policy. I would have a discussion with the whole class since the reporting student declined to name the student who purportedly learned which scenario will be assessed and communicated it with the class. I would go through the Academic Integrity Policy with you, paying particular attention to what constitutes a breach of the policy.……please click the icon below to purchase the solution at $5
