Abstract:
Evaluation in an educational setting is the process of finding evidence about the effectiveness of learning experiences designed for students. In order to improve the quality of clinical evaluation procedures, there is need to be more precise in defining the aim of what to assess and should ensure that methods of assessment which are both valid and reliable are utilized. Users of evaluations should be aware of various rating biases, which can affect both an instrument's reliability and validity. In order to ensure provision of quality nursing care to the society, the educators should relentlessly ensure that they objectively assess, pass and present student nurses who are indeed fit to practice for certification.
