Choosing an Evaluation Tool
INACSL Standards of Best Practice Evaluation has excellent resources in the reference section that has researched and reviewed the evaluation tools used in simulation.
- Choose a simulation evaluation tool from the literature.
Briefly critique the following aspects of the simulation evaluation tool:
- Who developed it?
- Why was it developed?
- Who was it developed for?
- What the tool evaluates/measures?
- How it is scored (legend)
- Brief reliability and validity data on the tool
- Advantages
- Is it easy-to-use?
- Can it be used with multiple populations?
- Disadvantages
- Is it complicated?
- Can it be used with only one population?
- Would you consider using this tool for your simulation design? Discuss how well it would or would not evaluate your type of learners?
