Erasmus Mentor's Discussion Group:We looked at the various practice assessment tools used in Malta, Finland and the UK. (Italy did not bring a copy).
We considered what the purpose of assessing students in practice was and why and what we are assessing and looked at our similarities in practice assessments of Erasmus student nurses.
The points discussed along side the practice assessment tools: (not an extensive list)
- to check the student's understanding and level of knowledge
- to see if the connection between theory and practice is established
- to assess the level of their competencies.
- communication skills (the Erasmus students need a crash course in Finish, Swedish and Italian)
- team working skills
- theory and practice integration
- minimum standards must be met (if not refer/fail)
Hi Daniela,just a clarification about the mistery of the italian missing assessment tools: as I think we've already pointed out the 5 of us have no university officially backing us up for this project, every material we brought was collected by us (except the english version of the 3 year courses given us by Prof.Della Corte)with huge effort. The practise assessment tools slightly change from campus to campus of our University and,although we've asked repeatedly for the ones of Florence, we still have had no answer.

ReplyDeleteHi Valentia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for clarifying the issue further. Hopefully after this intensive programme things might improve.
