Abstract
Objectives: to compare and analyze the perception by Nursing Degree Students about achieving the learning results expected during their monitored practices in the basic level, and about the scores assigned by their practice tutors in the evaluation of learning results.
Materials and methods: a preliminary observational descriptive study. The study population consisted of Nursing Degree Students from the Centro Universitario San Rafael-Nebrija (Madrid) in monitored practices of basic level during the 2015-2016 term. The scores for their learning results during rotation were collected through two questionnaires for evaluation of competence, self-administered by tutors at six weeks into the rotation, and by students at three and six weeks into the rotation.
Results: twenty-five students were included. In the self-evaluation by students, the highest mean scores linked to generic competences were obtained by: “Fits in the team: greets others when their shift starts and ends, shows respect, and conveys a collaborative attitude” (9.33 (SD: 0.92) at week 3) and 9.80 (SD: 0.65) at week 6). In specific competences, there was a mean score of 9.38 (SD: 0.82) at week 3 and of 9.66 (SD: 0.55) at week 6 in: “Shows respect for the opinions, beliefs and values of patients and relatives, avoiding value judgments”. In the evaluation by tutors (week 6), the mean scores for results were similar to those of students.
Conclusions: the scores assigned by tutors, in contrast to the self-evaluated by students, favour a more accurate view of the teaching-learning process; therefore, self-evaluation is a useful tool in order to monitor students’ progress.
