INTRODUCTION
The work of a nurse educator does not end after teaching materials have been designed, developed, and
delivered to students. In any learning environment, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of those teaching
materials on student learning. Assessment is the process of gathering data in order to evaluate and make
decisions regarding student learning.
There are many approaches to measuring student acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors. A
successful nurse educator will rely on the full breadth of evidence-based assessment theories and strategies
to design an assessment implementation plan that is most appropriate for their setting. After designing an
assessment tool, nurse educators must construct it using best practices to support reliability, validity, and
fairness. Once designed and implemented, data gathered by the assessment must be analyzed using rigorous
methods to evaluate student performance. Finally, the results of this analysis must be used to continually
improve both the assessment tool and the teaching materials.
Note: You must submit and pass C920 before submitting tasks in C921.

SCENARIO
You are the lead faculty in the Community Health Nursing Course for a prelicensure baccalaureate nursing
(BSN) program. Your students represent varied experiences, age groups, and cultures reflective of their
diverse community population.
The director of the nursing program has charged you with developing an eight-week course titled “The Role
of the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community Health.” The class meets for two hours weekly. The typical class
size for the course is 40 students. In C919, you created a course outline that listed eight weekly course
module topics. In C920, you created two of the eight weekly course modules, including course objectives,
student learning outcomes, and learning resources and activities.
In this task, you will choose one of the modules you created in C920 and develop a summative objective
assessment intended to measure student learning after they have completed the module. This summative
assessment must be an objective assessment consisting of 10 objective items (e.g., multiple choice, true or
false, matching, select all that apply).
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no
more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from
sources, even if cited correctly. The originality report that is provided when you submit your task can be used
as a guide.
Sources used to support this assessment must be published within the previous 10 years, with the exception
of legacy and seminal sources. Please carefully review the rubric for any exceptions.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that
will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric
aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless
specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted
as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
The completed template (sections A) should be submitted as a separate attachment from the narrative paper
(sections B); both submitted at the same time.
A. Design and develop a summative objective assessment for your chosen module using the attached
“Summative Objective Assessment Template” by doing the following:
1. Develop student-facing instructions, including the following:
• duration of the assessment
• how to complete the assessment
• what resources may be used
2. Develop ten summative objective assessment items that align with each course objective and student
learning outcome in the module and include the following criteria:
• at least two different item types
• positive wording in all item stems
• each item asks a single, discrete question

• answer options within each item are grammatically consistent and plausible
• an answer key that includes correct answers to all 10 items
• each item has only one correct answer unless otherwise noted in the item stem
3. Design an assessment blueprint by doing the following:
a. Identify the type of assessment.
b. Briefly describe the purpose of the assessment.
c. Identify the module title, two course objectives, and two student learning outcomes (developed in
C920) for the chosen module.
d. Identify the Bloom’s taxonomy domain (cognitive, psychomotor, affective) and level of each course
objective and student learning outcome.
e. Show the alignment of each item with at least one course objective or student learning outcome in
the module (use the table in the attached “Summative Objective Assessment Template”).
B. Describe the elements of your assessment by doing the following:
Note: A formal narrative paper will be submitted that includes parts B1 through B9.
1. Describe how each item in this assessment aligns with at least one course objective or student learning
outcome in the module.
2. Describe how assessment results, including constructive feedback, will be communicated to students
for this assessment.
a. Describe the pass or fail criteria for this assessment and how it was determined.
3. Describe an assessment theory, concept, or principle that guided your design choices for this
assessment.
4. Describe the procedures that will ensure test security for this assessment, including the following:
• prevention
• detection
• response
5. Describe a potential barrier (not related to test security) to implementing this assessment in the online
environment and how your assessment design choices will minimize its impact.
6. Describe the analytical methods and item- and test-level statistics you will use to evaluate assessment
results, including the following:
• item difficulty
• item discrimination
• test-level reliability
7. Discuss potential contributing factors of the following objective assessment outcomes:
• low pass rates
• low item discrimination
• low test-level reliability
8. Discuss an improvement plan that includes short-term and long-term actions to improve this
assessment based on key assessment results, including the following:
• item discrimination
• test reliability
• item difficulty
9. Discuss how the results of an objective assessment can be used to improve teaching strategies and
student learning.

instructions
(Write these instructions as if
you are speaking to your
students)
Write your instructions to your students for completing
the assessment should include each point below:
• duration of the assessment
• how to complete the assessment
• what resources may be used
Tips:
• Write clear step-by-step instructions for
completing the assessment without further
clarification.
• Include where, when, and how to access
the assessment and how to submit it.
•
Best practice is to allow 1.5 – 2 minutes per
question if it’s multiple choice. If students are
writing out answers, allow a little bit more time
per question.
Negatively worded questions- questions that
contain words such as ‘except’, ‘none’, etc. –
are not best practice anymore. Avoid these
types of questions.

Some Tips for the Paper:
B4. Test Security Procedures. For example, must have laptop with web camera, online proctors,
students must show valid picture identification, etc.
B5. Potential Implementation Barriers. One example is lack of internet – a possible solution is to have
the test open for a limited amount of time (4 hours) so students could get to a location with reliable
internet.
