education, the sixth edition of this classic text provides expert,
comprehensive guidance in the assessment of student learning in a wide
variety of settings, as well as the evaluation of instructor and program
effectiveness. It presents fundamental measurement and evaluation
concepts that will aid nurse educators in the design, critique, and use
of appropriate tests and evaluation tools. Important social, ethical,
and legal issues associated with testing and evaluation also are
explored, including the prevention of cheating and academic policies for
testing, grading, and progression.

creation of all types of test items, including next-generation
NCLEX-style items; the assembly, administration, and scoring of tests;

learning; assessment of written assignments; and suggestions for
creating tests in online courses and programs. An entire section is
devoted to clinical evaluation processes and methods, including the use
of simulation for assessment and high-stakes evaluation, clinical
