Objectives 1. Explore methodologies of incorporating Peer Evaluation into assessment. 2. Analyze successes and barriers of implementing TBL in Nursing Curricula. 3. Identify strategies to avoid individual grade inflation with TBL. 4. Evaluate weights of course components for appropriate distribution 5. Share classroom activities.
Peer Evaluation • Goals: • Increase student accountability • Actively participate in the team, prepare for “real world experience of evaluation” • Identify individual strengths and weaknesses of the team • Tools • Easily understood by students • Provide valid data • User friendly for both students and faculty
Peer Evaluation Successes: • Successes • Assisted students work through personality differences within teams • Students able to articulate areas of improvement for team members in a motivating way • Feedback produced positive effects
Peer Evaluation Barriers: • Barriers • Initial student discomfort with process • Worry about “what if they know it is me who said that” and possible team ramifications resulting • Academically strong students worried about possible negative effect of peer evaluation • Number of evaluations throughout the semester
Discussion • What worked or did not work for you?
Successesof TBL in Nursing • Increased discussion and concept reinforcement • Interactive nature holds student/faculty interest • Students able to better understand and apply, not just memorize • Develop individual assertiveness • Develop self and team accountability • Nurses from clinical facility comments about “level of student”
Barriers of TBL in Nursing • Faculty worry/doubt • initial student reaction • Ability to “cover the content using TBL approach” • Non TBL faculty concerns • Students spending more prep time for TBL course than non TBL course • Peer Evaluation • New uncomfortable process for students
Course Assessment of Learning • Weights of course components (exam, TBL, written) • Exams 50% • TBL • IRAT – 5%, GRAT -10%, Peer Eval -5% • Online pretest – 5% • Written-25% • Avoiding grade inflation
Classroom Activities • Comprehensive case studies • Gaming –sudden death pharmacology, jeopardy • Role playing • Simulated Laboratory Final • Teams participated in “mock clinical” • TBL Exam Component • Team case study prior to individual exams
